  • Support Manufacturing and Assembly by resolving design questions and providing technical support during machine builds.
  • Verify and validate electrical designs through testing, troubleshooting, and design reviews.
  • Participate in machine startup, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), and system validation.
  • Ensure all designs comply with applicable electrical and machine safety standards.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience designing electrical systems for industrial machinery, automation equipment, or OEM manufacturing environments.
  • Experience creating electrical schematics and panel layouts using AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar ECAD software.
