Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Alfa Laval Corporate AB Full time

Wind helped us discover our planet, and now it can help us preserve it. Our vision is to provide wings for a shipping revolution, and we have two strong mother companies to back us up: Alfa Laval and Wallenius.

Would you like to contribute to this change? Join our fast-growing, highly competent and passionate team in Stockholm, Sweden. AlfaWall Oceanbird AB is a 50/50 joint venture, owned by Alfa Laval and Wallenius but operated as an independent company. We are developing wing sail technology for the global shipping market and are now looking for an Electrical Engineer to our team based in Flemingsberg, Stockholm.

The Oceanbird wingsail is powered by electricity; its hydraulic system uses speed-controlled electric machines to generate pressures and flows to control the motions of the wing. In addition to this, the advanced control system consists of three interconnected PLC systems that communicate with many kinds of sensors, valves, and other electrical devices. The project is in a very interesting phase where we are just about to test our first full-scale prototype at our outdoor test site in Landskrona.

The automation team at Oceanbird is responsible for the development of both software and electrical hardware. We are now looking for an experienced electrical/electronic designer to strengthen the hardware side of the team. There are opportunities to shape the work content in this position according to the applicant's interests and background; however, a key requirement is an interest and willingness to understand the overall functionality and components of the complete wing system. Hence, a broad technical interest is meritorious, as well as an interest in sailing and shipping. The ability to identify the needs/requirements of the electrical system from the overall wing system functionality is important in this role. We are still at an early stage, and there are few documented requirements on the electrical/electronic system.

What will you do?
Work content will include:

  • Electrical system (architecture) design based on the functionality requirements of the wing.

  • Electrical design of PLC control cabinets (E-plan).

  • Power supply design and testing (400V, 230V, and 24V).

  • Design of cables, connectors, and cable routing on the wing sail.

  • Selection and evaluation of electrical components such as electrical motors, variable frequency drives, sensors of different types, proportional valve drivers, PLC IO cards, etc.

  • Design according to DNV standards and be part of the DNV certification process.

  • Take an active part in automation system testing and verification (with a focus on electrical/electronic parts), analyze the results, and implement redesigns if necessary.

Work content may also include (depending on candidate):

  • Electrical team lead and project management.

  • Be involved in designing/specifying software functionality related to the electrical system, e.g., power management, monitoring functions, start-up and shut down functions, etc.

  • Develop low-level software to test and evaluate electrical devices as sensors.

  • Develop novel sensing concepts to sense the wind inflow on the wing, enabling better trimming and hence better performance.

  • Electrical system risk-analysis (e.g., FMEA).

  • EMC/ESD certification.

  • Practical laboratory and installation work.

Who are you?
To succeed in this role, you should have:

  • At least a bachelor's degree in electrical, mechatronics engineering, or equivalent engineering degree.

  • You are self-going and self-motivated.

  • Broad technical knowledge outside of the electrical domain is a merit.

  • Strong team player; you thrive working together with other people and competences in reaching a common goal and contribute to sustainable shipping.

  • Experience with electric scheme design tools, preferably Eplan.

  • English required, Swedish is an asset.

In addition, it is beneficial to have experience in one or several of the following:

  • Experience in control system design, sensor selection, electrical installation, etc.

  • Experience in working cross-functionally with control-system, hydraulic, and mechanical engineers to ensure complete system performance.

  • Working experience within the marine industry under DNV requirements is beneficial.

  • Track record of designing electrical systems in marine, automotive, or industrial products.

Regular travel to our test site in Landskrona is expected.

This role is located in Flemingsberg, Stockholm.

What do we offer?

A chance to be a part of something bigger and make a real change while having a workplace characterized by a positive atmosphere.

Our core values are:

Pioneering Spirit - We dare to challenge the conventional and break new ground. As pioneers, we empower a revolution.

Natural forces - The power in the wind, in people, in ideas – the natural forces surrounding us all are waiting to be harvested.

Fun & Passion - It's harder to fly alone – only together can we make a difference. Cooperation and shared passions build our strong team spirit.

Dedication - Dedicated to high quality and robustness, to offer the right help on sustainability journeys, to be the best. Dedicated to making change.
