Electrical Engineer – R&D Design‑To‑Order (DTO)
Design and validate electrical systems for customised ventilation solutions, ensuring reliable prototypes, smooth integration and high‑quality customer‑specific deliveries.
Customers increasingly expect customised, high‑performance ventilation solutions delivered quickly and reliably. In Design‑To‑Order projects, even small electrical design errors can cause delays, integration issues and rework. We’re hiring an Electrical Engineer to strengthen our R&D DTO team in Næstved by ensuring robust electrical design, smooth controls integration, and high‑quality prototypes that support customer‑specific ventilation solutions.
Your Impact
Design and build electrical schematics, wiring and control panels for customer‑specific DTO ventilation projects, ensuring safety and manufacturability
Integrate and test PLCs, controllers, sensors and actuators in prototype systems to secure reliable behaviour under realistic operating conditions
Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers and our Controls Lead to align electrical design with mechanical assemblies and customer requirements
Develop test plans and perform structured verification, including functional checks, fault‑find tests and component validation
Document thoroughly, creating wiring diagrams, BOMs and test reports to support traceability and future scaling
Support continuous improvement, identifying ways to simplify electrical assemblies and reduce build complexity across DTO projects
Assist colleagues and external consultants with troubleshooting, panel updates and prototype commissioning in the R&D lab
What Drives Success
3+ years of experience in electrical engineering within ventilation, automation or R&D prototyping
Strong capability in electrical schematics, panel construction, cable sizing and component selection
Hands‑on experience with PLCs or embedded controllers and industrial communication protocols
Ability to work across mechanical–electrical interfaces and translate customer needs into solid design solutions
Structured problem‑solver with strong troubleshooting skills and a practical mindset
Clear communicator who collaborates naturally with cross‑functional teams
Real Impact Example
In a recent DTO project for a customised ventilation module, our electrical engineer redesigned the full wiring layout, integrated a new controller platform and validated system functionality through staged prototype testing. Early tests identified wiring losses causing unstable fan control, which were corrected before assembly release. The updated design improved component accessibility and reduced assembly time by 20%. Clear documentation and test reports ensured smooth handover to production and reduced installation support requests. The case demonstrated how strong electrical design and early validation significantly improve product quality and delivery reliability in customer‑specific ventilation projects.
What we offer
Competitive salary and employee benefits in line with company policy
25 days’ vacation plus 5 days Feriefri after qualifying period
Standard auto-enrolment pension scheme
Access to healthcare scheme
