About This Test Field Engineer Opportunity — Hochspannung Dresden Sachsen
Company: A leading high-voltage equipment manufacturer based in Dresden, Sachsen — specialising in oil-insulated high-voltage components and high-voltage test systems, serving domestic and international power engineering clients with precision testing, calibration, and commissioning expertise
Role: Test Field Engineer (m/f/d) — performing component tests on oil-insulated high-voltage components, initial commissioning and testing of high-voltage test systems, creation of test instructions and certificates, troubleshooting and repairs at customer sites, and support during customer acceptance testing and calibration tasks
Technical Focus: Hochspannungsprüfung, Teilentladungsmesstechnik, ölgefüllte Komponenten, Kalibrierung, Inbetriebnahme, and diagnostische Messungen — a technically specialised role in high-voltage engineering that requires both theoretical electrical engineering knowledge and practical hands-on test and measurement competency
Travel: Minimal domestic and international travel for customer site troubleshooting, repairs, diagnostic measurements, and customer acceptance testing support — primarily office and test field based in Dresden
Why This Test Field Engineer Role in Dresden Stands Out
Hochspannungstechnik — Technisch Anspruchsvoll & Systemrelevant: High-voltage test field engineering is one of electrical engineering’s most technically demanding and commercially significant specialisations — oil-insulated high-voltage components and their testing sit at the heart of the power transmission and distribution infrastructure that modern electrical grids depend on, in a growing global market driven by energy transition investment
Teilentladungsmesstechnik — Gefragte Spezialkompetenz: Partial discharge measurement technology is a highly specialised diagnostic competency in high-voltage engineering — expertise in PD measurement methodology, instrumentation, interpretation, and documentation that is commercially distinctive, globally transferable, and consistently in demand as power grids expand and age simultaneously
Kundenabnahmen & Internationale Einsätze: Customer acceptance testing support and minimal international site work create professional variety, direct client contact, and international engineering exposure alongside the primary test field and commissioning activities — a role profile that prevents the technical monotony of purely repetitive laboratory testing
Dresden, Sachsen — Technologieregion mit Fachkräfte-Premium: Dresden is one of Germany’s most dynamic technology regions — a high concentration of precision engineering, semiconductor, and energy technology employers in a city with outstanding quality of life, affordable housing, and a vibrant technical university community that makes it one of the best locations in Germany for a specialist high-voltage engineering career
Position Overview
This Test Field Engineer (m/f/d) in Dresden performs component tests on oil-insulated high-voltage components — conducts initial commissioning and testing of high-voltage test systems, individual components, and small devices including complete documentation — creates test instructions and certificates — instructs employees during the assembly and setup of testing systems — performs troubleshooting, repairs, and diagnostic measurements at domestic and international customer sites (minimal travel) — supports customer acceptance testing — and executes calibration tasks in high-voltage environments — bringing a state-certified technician qualification or electrical engineering degree, sound Teilentladungsmessung knowledge, experience with technical specifications and circuit diagrams, good English, and high quality awareness.
Why This Role Matters: As Test Field Engineer for oil-insulated high-voltage components in Dresden, the tests you perform and the certificates you issue are the quality and safety gate between the manufacturing process and the power grid — the technical assurance that each oil-insulated transformer, reactor, capacitor, or high-voltage bushing meets its dielectric strength, partial discharge, and insulation quality specifications before it leaves the factory and is installed in a substation or power plant where its failure could cascade into a major grid event. When your partial discharge measurement correctly identifies a defect in the solid insulation of a high-voltage transformer bushing that the impulse voltage test alone would not have detected — preventing a field failure that could take a critical substation transformer offline for months, your commissioning check of a new high-voltage test system correctly identifies a grounding issue in the test circuit that would have created a measurement uncertainty in the PD calibration that would have compromised the accuracy of every test certificate issued using that system until the problem was found, or your diagnostic measurement at a customer site correctly identifies the location and nature of a PD source in an installed high-voltage cable termination that allows a targeted repair rather than a full cable replacement — you are not running electrical tests. You are assuring the quality and reliability of the high-voltage infrastructure that industrial facilities, power utilities, and renewable energy installations depend on. That is the engineering consequence and genuine power systems importance of excellent Test Field Engineering at this Dresden high-voltage company.
Key Responsibilities
Bauteilprüfung & Inbetriebnahme Hochspannungsprüfsysteme
- Perform component tests on oil-insulated high-voltage components — applying specialist Hochspannungsprüftechnik methodology to verify the dielectric strength, partial discharge performance, insulation resistance, and power frequency withstand capability of oil-insulated transformers, reactors, capacitors, bushings, and other high-voltage apparatus in accordance with applicable IEC test standards and customer technical specifications
- Conduct initial commissioning and testing of high-voltage test systems, individual components, and small devices including complete documentation — bringing up new and modified high-voltage test facilities with systematic commissioning discipline, verifying all safety interlocks, measurement system functions, and calibration status before the system is approved for production testing use, and producing the complete commissioning documentation package that traceability and quality management require
- Create test instructions and certificates — developing the test procedure documentation that defines precisely how each test is to be performed and by whom, and issuing test certificates that accurately record the test results, environmental conditions, calibration status, and normative basis for each component tested, with the technical accuracy and documentary completeness that customer, regulatory, and internal quality requirements demand
Teilentladungsmesstechnik, Kalibrierung & Qualitätssicherung
- Apply sound knowledge of partial discharge (PD) measurement technology — using PD measurement instrumentation to detect, quantify, and locate partial discharge sources in oil-insulated high-voltage components and test systems, interpreting PD measurement results in the context of applicable IEC standards (IEC 60270 and related), applicable manufacturer acceptance criteria, and the physical understanding of PD phenomena in oil-paper insulation systems that meaningful diagnostic analysis requires
- Execute calibration tasks in high-voltage environments — performing the systematic calibration of high-voltage test and measurement equipment including voltage and current measuring systems, PD calibrators, and reference measurement instruments in accordance with applicable calibration procedures, traceability requirements, and accreditation standards, maintaining the measurement accuracy documentation that supports the validity of test certificates
