About the Role

Join a global leader in industrial power electronics and bring mission-critical systems to life in the field. As a VFD Field Service Engineer/Technician, you'll work hands-on with Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), motors, and industrial control systems, supporting customers across multiple industries. This is an early-career opportunity ideal for someone who wants to build technical expertise quickly, travel globally, and develop into a senior field engineer.

You won't be stuck behind a desk-this is a high-impact, hands-on field role where you will troubleshoot, commission, and optimize real-world equipment in dynamic environments.

What You'll Do

• Perform on-site commissioning, startup, and troubleshooting of VFDs and motor-driven systems
• Diagnose equipment issues using fault data, electrical testing, and system analysis [TIC IC1030...n II - CAN | Word]
• Execute repairs, component replacements, and system restarts in the field [TIC IC1030...n II - CAN | Word]
• Support installation verification, programming, and tuning of new equipment [TIC IC1030...n II - CAN | Word]
• Interface directly with customers, providing technical support and recommendations to improve system performance and reliability [TIC IC1030...n II - CAN | Word]
• Document service activities through detailed field reports and service documentation [TIC IC1007...e II - CAN | Word]
• Collaborate with engineering teams on complex technical issues and product improvements [TIC 1I1173...nician III | Word]
• Utilize diagnostic and configuration tools (software, test equipment, etc.) to support system performance

What We're Looking For

• 0-5 years of experience in field service, electrical systems, or industrial equipment (commissioning, troubleshooting, maintenance, or repair experience preferred)
• Exposure to VFDs, AC/DC drives, motors, or industrial power electronics is a strong plus.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to work independently in the field
• Ability to communicate effectively with customers and internal teams
• Comfortable working in industrial environments (plants, facilities, job sites)

Education

Required:

• Associate (2-year technical degree) in Electrical/Electronic Technology or equivalent

Preferred:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field

Travel & Work Environment

• Up to 80% travel (domestic & international) required
• Must be able to deploy on short notice and work at customer sites as needed
• Hands-on work with electrical systems, industrial equipment, and test instrumentation

Why This Role Stands Out

• Accelerated learning curve - gain real-world technical experience fast
• Global exposure - travel internationally and work across industries
• Hands-on engineering - direct impact on equipment performance and customer success
• Career growth - clear path to senior field engineer and technical specialist roles
• Work with cutting-edge power electronics and drive systems

Preferred Technical Exposure (Nice-to-Have)

• VFD commissioning and programming
• Motor control systems (AC/DC)
• Electrical schematics and control wiring
• Industrial automation systems
• Tools such as AutoCAD or diagnostic/configuration software

Who Will Thrive Here

• Early-career engineers or technicians who want hands-on field experience
• Candidates who enjoy travel, problem-solving, and technical challenges
• Individuals looking to build a long-term career in field service engineering and power systems
