• Generate complete and accurate documentation to support manufacturing and field integration, including detailed drawings and schematics.

• Identify and recommend improvements to tools, processes, and workflows to reduce design errors and improve efficiency.

• Perform electrical rework on existing systems and support machine builders with troubleshooting and technical questions.

• Review and check peer hardware designs for accuracy, cost optimization, and standardization opportunities.

• Inspect completed machinery to ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA, UL, CE, and applicable industry standards.

• Utilize ERP systems to create and maintain BOMs, generate work orders, build routers, and release materials to purchasing.

• Modify electrical schematics and BOMs to support field changes, retrofits, and continuous improvement efforts.

• Select electrical and pneumatic components that align with machine functionality, safety requirements, and budget constraints.

• Design machine safety circuits in accordance with risk assessments and applicable safety standards.
