What is electrical programming?

Electrical programming refers to the process of writing, testing, and maintaining software or code that controls electrical systems and devices. This can include programming programmable logic controllers (PLCs), microcontrollers, or embedded systems that automate and manage machinery, lighting, HVAC, and other electrical infrastructure. Electrical programmers often work in industries such as manufacturing, automation, and building management, ensuring systems operate efficiently and safely. Their work bridges the gap between hardware and software, enabling complex electrical systems to function according to specific requirements.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an electrical programmer?

To excel as an Electrical Programmer, you need a strong background in electrical engineering, programming logic, and control systems, typically supported by a relevant degree or technical certification. Familiarity with PLC programming, SCADA systems, and software like Siemens TIA Portal or Rockwell Automation Studio is crucial. Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective problem-solving are standout soft skills for this role. These skills ensure the design and maintenance of reliable, efficient automated systems essential for industrial and manufacturing operations.

What is the difference between Electrical Programming vs Electrical Engineering?

AspectElectrical ProgrammingElectrical Engineering
Required CredentialsTypically certifications in PLC, automation, or software programmingBachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field
Work EnvironmentIndustrial settings, automation labs, control system environmentsDesign offices, research labs, construction sites
Employer & Industry UsageManufacturing, automation companies, control system integratorsPower generation, construction, consulting firms
Common Search & ComparisonElectrical ProgrammingElectrical Engineering

Electrical Programming focuses on writing and implementing code for automation systems, PLCs, and control software, often requiring certifications in programming languages. Electrical Engineering involves designing, analyzing, and developing electrical systems, requiring a degree in electrical engineering. While both roles work in related industries, Electrical Programming is more software-focused, whereas Electrical Engineering emphasizes system design and analysis.

What are some typical challenges faced by professionals in electrical programming, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in Electrical Programming often encounter challenges like troubleshooting complex control systems, integrating new technologies with legacy equipment, and ensuring compliance with safety standards. These issues can be addressed by staying up-to-date with industry best practices, collaborating closely with electrical engineers and technicians, and investing time in documentation and testing. Strong problem-solving skills and effective communication are also essential, as the role frequently involves working in multidisciplinary teams to deliver reliable and efficient solutions.

Job description

Scope of Work: Project Performance Engineer - Vehicle Dynamics

The Project Performance Engineer (PPE) for Vehicle Dynamics is responsible for achieving vehicle level ride and handling targets for Stellantis Vehicles.  The candidate will coordinate with a team of core dynamics engineers to establish development timelines to meet all functional objectives, component tuning freeze dates, and electronic control hardware/software release dates.  Further responsibilities include analyzing and mitigating the vehicle dynamics performance impact of engineering, brand, and marketing requests. The PPE also leads coordination of activities with multiple external stakeholders (powertrain, mechatronics, etc.) and must be confident providing updates to senior management regarding state of the program.

The PPE will be responsible for in-vehicle development of the critical components to meet the vehicle’s overall ride, steering, handling, and tire performance objectives. This development work takes place predominantly at the Chelsea Proving Grounds in Michigan, with travel required to other test locations as both weather, and test surface conditions dictate (Significant travel occurs during the winter months, with trips lasting 2-3 weeks at a time. Travel is mostly domestic within North America, but can also be international, and is approximately 20% of the Engineer’s time.).


Job Responsibilities Include but Are Not Limited To:

  • Provide guidance to advanced chassis design teams to develop suspension architectures which support vehicle line targets and FOs
  • Lead development activities including testing and subjective assessment of vehicle level function to ensure alignment with targets
  • Responsible for development of suspension mechanical and electromechanical components and systems in order to achieve driving dynamics functional attribute targets
  • Perform subjective evaluations of ride, steering, and handling and assign ratings according to SAE subjective scales up to and beyond the handling limits of the vehicle
  • Work closely with suppliers to drive changes required to complete tuning of all systems including air springs, passive dampers, semi-active dampers, and electronic power steering
  • Support all active chassis teams in development/implementation/testing of electromechanical hardware and supporting software through data acquisition system
  • Development of state-of-the-art prototype and production controls solutions
    for electromechanical suspension components
  • Contribute to development of future semi-active damping strategies and algorithm functional execution
  • Work closely with chassis controls team members to develop seamless
    integration with other active chassis controls components and systems
  • Development and execution of vehicle performance DVP&R
  • Support core software team with execution of functional and failsafe DVP&R
    with vehicle level tests

 

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or equivalent
  • 5 years of automotive testing and validation experience
  • Excellent knowledge of vehicle dynamics
  • Excellent knowledge and understanding of vehicle systems
  • Experience with requirements management and software version
    management tools
  • Effective project management, organizational, and teamwork skills
  • Data logging and analysis using tools (Vector CANalyzer, CANape, etc.)
  • Must be capable of driving vehicles at, or above the limit of handling
  • Valid US driver's license

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering from an ABET
    accredited university
  • DFSS Green Belt certification
  • Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) simulation experience
  • Mechatronics based skills/experience/education
  • Self-starter with strong communication skills
  • CAN networking experience
