As a Manufacturing Test Engineer - Electrical Automation, you will develop, deploy, maintain, and support End-of-Line test solutions for wind turbine assemblies, including Nacelles, Hubs, Converters, Generators, and Control Panels.

The role combines electrical engineering, industrial automation and controls, turbine system understanding, hands-on testing, commissioning, and structured troubleshooting. You will learn and use VTS (Vestas Test Suite) to convert product test requirements into test sequences that detect electrical, electro-mechanical, hydraulic, control, and assembly errors before they progress further in the value chain.

Important: This is a hands-on manufacturing engineering role focused on turbine and test-system verification. It is not a software test-automation role, and advanced PLC programming is not the primary responsibility.

Responsibilities

- Develop and maintain VTS test sequences by converting product, test, safety, and quality requirements into robust End-of-Line tests
- Deliver assigned technical tasks and test solutions within agreed safety, quality, scope, and timelines
- Perform hands-on installation, testing, verification, commissioning, user training, and handover of test solutions at manufacturing sites
- Troubleshoot electrical, automation, communication, test-equipment, and hydraulic-related issues using structured fault-finding and root-cause methods
- Prepare complete technical documentation and ensure compliance with electrical safety, LOTO, risk assessment, quality, and applicable CE requirements
- Analyze test results and contribute to improvements in test coverage, reliability, quality, standardization,



and Test efficiency
- Independently plan, prioritize, and deliver assigned work, seeking guidance for complex technical challenges

Qualifications

- Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Electronics Engineering, Electronics Communication Engineering, or a closely related discipline with significant electrical content
- Minimum 3 years of relevant hands-on industrial experience in installation, testing, verification, commissioning, fault finding, and structured troubleshooting
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, single-line diagrams, control circuits, and system interfaces
- Working knowledge of industrial control systems, PLC and safety PLC concepts, HMIs, sensors, actuators, safety devices, and industrial communication systems
- Practical understanding of electrical safety, LOTO, risk assessment, and secure commissioning practices
- Ability to read hydraulic schematics and understand pumps, valves, cylinders or actuators, accumulators, and pressure and flow control
- Willingness to travel globally, typically around 60 days per year, to support hands-on installation, testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, training, and handover at Vestas manufacturing sites




- Flexibility to work different shifts or outside normal working hours when required to support business-critical manufacturing needs

Preferred / Advantage

- Experience working with wind turbines, including practical knowledge of major turbine assemblies, subsystems, and their functional interactions
- Experience with complex electro-mechanical equipment involving electrical controls, converters or drives, motors or generators, control panels, sensors, actuators, and safety systems
- Manufacturing or End-of-Line testing experience, including FAT, SAT, verification, and commissioning
- Experience translating product or technical requirements into test methods, test logic, or test sequences
- Knowledge of industrial communication networks and interfaces used in automation and control systems
- Lean Six Sigma knowledge or certification is an advantage

Competencies

- Safety-first and quality-focused approach to engineering work
- Strong analytical thinking and structured problem-solving capability
- Self-driven and able to plan, prioritize, and independently deliver assigned work
- Clear communicator who works effectively with factories, engineering functions, suppliers, and global teams
- Curious and willing to continuously develop turbine test-system, electrical, automation, and hydraulic knowledge
