  • Select electrical components including PLC hardware, HMIs, VFDs, power supplies, safety devices, relays, sensors, and industrial networking hardware.
  • Develop pneumatic schematics and assist with component selection.
  • Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering throughout the design process to ensure seamless system integration.
  • 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.
  • Experience developing Bills of Material and selecting electrical components.
  • Familiarity with industrial automation hardware

You should be proficient in:

  • Electrical Schematics
  • CAD Software
  • Electrical Design
  • Electrical Engineering
