  • Execute assigned tasks, with defined goals, under engineering and CAD technical leadership with minimal supervision and outputs reviewed by Engineer of Design.
  • Assist with procurement, tracking, and staging system hardware and control enclosures.
  • Participate in system fabrication support and Hardware Factory Acceptance Testing (HFAT).
  • Coordinate with engineering, CAD leads, and project management to ensure designs meet scope, schedule, budget, and standards.
  • Maintain high design accuracy while adhering to department and project standards.
  • Support proposal and sales activities related to hardware scope estimation.
  • Increase efficiencies through the development and use of approved toolsets.
  • Participate in development and maintenance of AutoCAD and automation design libraries.

Requirements

Education and Experience

  • Associates or Technical Degree in CAD Design Technologies.
  • Applied use and working knowledge of CAD design using Autodesk software applications (preferred).
  • Formal training, education, experience in electrical or electro-mechanical technologies, or related Engineering discipline preferred.
  • 1-3 years of relevant experience in automation hardware or electrical design preferred.

Key Employment Skills

  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering specifications, engineering input, wiring diagrams, and standards.
  • Exposure to DCS and/or PLC control systems.
  • Strong attention to detail and document accuracy.
  • Effective interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Selfmotivated with the ability to manage assigned tasks and priorities.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.
