Expert Project Engineer : High Voltage Connector Design (Automotive)
Location: Paris, France or Wolfsburg,Germany | Hybrid (3 days onsite)
Industry: Automotive Electrical Systems
Type: Full-time | Permanent | Relocation Supported
Salary Negotiable based on your experience
A world-renowned technology innovator known for shaping the backbone of modern electronic connectivity; serving industries from mobility to medical to next-gen data systems.
This is a unique and pivotal engineering position requiring deep technical insight, physics-based design thinking, and a mentorship mindset offering a state-of-art environment and rewarding career advancements.
The Role:
You will play a strategic role in the development of next-generation high-voltage connector and terminal solutions; critical components in electric and hybrid vehicle platforms.
You’ll be responsible for leading the design and development of high-voltage automotive connectors, with a strong focus on micro-scale precision; working at the level of millimeters to nanometers.
You’ll be involved in selecting materials such as high-performance plastics and stamped metals, applying advanced engineering tools like DFMEA, GD&T, FEA, and tolerance analysis to ensure robust, manufacturable designs.
You’ll need to connect physical behavior, like flow and deformation over time to product performance,especially under real-world aging conditions.You’ll also play a key role in mentoring junior engineers, guiding design decisions, and collaborating across international teams.
Your Background:
• Expert level knowledge in High-Voltage/High-Current automotive connector design - especially integrating physics-driven decision-making into design development
• Deep experience in material science, especially plastics for injection molding and metals for stamped parts
• Advanced application of DFMEA, GD&T, Tolerance stack-ups, and CAE methods
• Strong background and ability to evaluate design trade-offs linked to physical performance (size/material/aging/flow)
• Ability to present, engage and guide both senior peers and junior enigneers across cultural and disciplinary lines
