Key Responsibilities — Deine Aufgaben
EPLAN Fluid P8 — Fluidplan-Erstellung & Systempflege
- Create and maintain Fluidpläne (fluid circuit diagrams) and fluidtechnische Schemata (fluid technical schematics) in EPLAN Fluid P8 — applying expert-level EPLAN Fluid P8 proficiency to produce accurately symbolized, correctly connected, and fully documented fluid circuit diagrams for PVA TePla’s high-performance material processing and inspection systems, maintaining the drawing database, component libraries, and project management structures in EPLAN Fluid P8 that ensure fluid plans are consistently formatted, version-controlled, and traceable throughout the product development lifecycle from initial concept through to as-built documentation
- Develop group-wide EPLAN Fluid standards and their consistent application — working with internal interfaces across PVA TePla’s group companies to define, document, and implement the unified EPLAN Fluid working standards, symbol libraries, naming conventions, and drawing format specifications that ensure fluid plans produced at different locations and for different product lines can be efficiently understood, reviewed, and maintained by any qualified fluid engineer within the group
- Support the project management, service, and sales teams in creating Fluidpläne and technical concepts for proposals — providing the fluid engineering design input and documentation that helps project managers structure technically sound proposals, gives the service team the fluid system information needed for installation and maintenance support, and enables the sales team to present fluid system technical specifications to customers with engineering-backed confidence and accuracy
Fluidsystemauslegung — Pneumatik, Kühlwasser, Hochdruck & Vakuum
- Design fluid systems for Pneumatik (pneumatics), Kühlwasser (cooling water), Hochdruck (high pressure), and Vakuum (vacuum) applications — applying the specific fluid mechanics knowledge, component sizing methodology, and application engineering judgment for each fluid medium and operating pressure range that PVA TePla’s precision material processing equipment requires, considering not only the primary functional requirements (flow rates, pressures, temperatures, cleanliness levels) but also the Maschinenverordnung (Machinery Directive) and application-specific standards that govern the design of fluid systems in the semiconductor manufacturing equipment, industrial furnace, and inspection system applications that PVA TePla produces
- Select fluid technology components and sensors for each specific application — applying comprehensive component knowledge across the Pneumatik (cylinders, valves, fittings, tubing, regulators, filters), Kühlwasser (heat exchangers, pumps, flow switches, temperature sensors, pressure regulators), Hochdruck (pressure vessels, high-pressure fittings, burst discs, pressure relief valves), and Vakuum (vacuum pumps, valves, gauges, flanges, sealing technologies) categories to identify the optimally suited and correctly specified components for each fluid system application, considering technical performance, operating range, material compatibility, cleanliness requirements, and lifetime and maintenance requirements
- Contribute to the design and documentation of fluid safety technology (fluidtechnische Sicherheitstechnik) for systems and plants according to applicable standards and guidelines — applying knowledge of the relevant safety standards (EN ISO 4413 for pneumatics, EN ISO 4414 for hydraulics, pressure vessel directives, vacuum safety requirements) and the specific risk assessment and safety function documentation requirements that the Maschinenverordnung and application-specific standards impose, producing the safety-related fluid system documentation that supports CE marking, customer acceptance, and regulatory compliance for PVA TePla’s equipment across its global markets
