PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Experience supporting custom-engineered or configured-to-order products.
  • Experience with industrial electrical control systems, electromechanical systems, motor controls, sensors, relays, contactors, programmable controllers, or solid-state control devices.
  • Familiarity with applicable electrical, product-safety, and machine-safety standards, including UL 507, UL 508A, NFPA 70, or similar standards.
  • Experience supporting manufacturing, troubleshooting production or field issues, and conducting root-cause investigations.
