Position Description

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a mastery of electrical systems and control logic, driving first-pass yield and technical excellence while embracing safety as the factory's paramount value. This professional will excel in bridging the gap between design and the shop floor, instilling a disciplined Kata cadence to sustain meaningful change, and leveraging UL 508A standards and automation to transform the plant for a competitive marketplace. With a deep electrical aptitude, they will mentor the assembly and test teams, prioritizing engineered Poka-Yoke solutions and root-cause analysis over fault attribution. Living and breathing safety, they will draw insights from the production floor, exhibit exceptional critical thinking, and foster a culture of accountability. They will partner with the Operations and C/I teams to share ownership of ensuring our sophisticated chiller systems are built and tested to world-class standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the identification and resolution of complex electrical failures (wiring, grounding, communication faults) discovered during full-product chiller testing.
• Serve as the primary plant resource for Carel PLCs, EVD drivers, and Danfoss compressor logic. Translate complex schematics into simplified, actionable "User Manuals" and testing protocols.
• Establish and maintain a Kata cadence-a disciplined pattern of problem-solving and shop-floor feedback-to ensure electrical issues are resolved permanently rather than patched.
• Attain UL 508A MTR (Manufacturer Technical Representative) status within 2 months, ensuring all control panels and systems meet rigorous industrial and safety standards.
• Deploy visual factory systems for electrical assembly, ensuring workflows are clear, repeatable, and inherently safe.
• Mentor the assembly and maintenance teams, providing technical guidance on wiring best practices and troubleshooting while instilling a safety-first mindset.
• Develop and implement "error-proofing" solutions for the electrical assembly process to eliminate miswiring and prevent component damage.
• Provide Tier-1 technical support and optimization for plant-side automation, including Amada lasers and Universal Robots (UR) cobots.
• Partner with Design Engineering to ensure manufacturability and adherence to quality standards, integrating advanced technologies to keep the plant agile.
• Maintain precise documentation, including SOPs aligned with visual factory principles, safety protocols, and automated test sequences.

Required Education & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electro-Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Advanced ability to read and troubleshoot from complex industrial electrical and logic diagrams (HVAC/R experience is a major plus).
• Demonstrated proficiency in applying Lean Manufacturing principles and a commitment to Kata as a cultural discipline for accountability and safety.
• Unwavering dedication to safety as the factory's highest value, embracing it as a lifestyle and primary driver of process change.
• Exceptional critical thinking and a passion for designing Poka-Yoke solutions to eliminate operational risk.
• A drive for daily progress and a collaborative ownership mindset alongside the operations team.
• Willingness to undertake specific training for UL 508A MTR certification and specialized equipment (Carel, Amada, UR).
• Proficiency in CAD software (AutoCAD/SolidWorks) and familiarity with manufacturing systems (ERP/SAP).

Preferred Skills

• Direct experience with Carel pCO systems or similar HVAC/R PLC logic.
• Background in industrial automation, specifically with cobots or laser-cutting integration.
• Experience in project management within a high-CAPEX manufacturing environment.
