Job Description

Job Description

Electrical Engineer – Automation & Controls

Location: Lake Mary, FL

Type: Full-time

Experience: 1+ years (not a recent graduate)

U.S. WORK AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENT

Must be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident (Green Card Holder).

Candidates must currently be located in the United States. Candidates located outside of the United States will NOT be considered. Laser Photonics Corporation does not provide visa sponsorship.

We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer whose primary work is systems-level troubleshooting of electrical and software issues, along with creating and editing electrical schematics and BOMs. This role requires independently figuring out problems with little or no supervision. You will also maintain accurate documentation, select components, and keep schematics and BOMs under proper document control.

These machines use lasers for cleaning, engraving, marking, and welding. Prior laser experience is not required, but the ability to systematically troubleshoot these machines — motors, drives, PLCs, cameras, and other devices — is essential.

You must be comfortable connecting to equipment via serial, USB, or Ethernet and using manufacturer or proprietary software to communicate with and configure devices.

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot systems-level electrical and software issues independently, with little or no supervision

• Edit and update existing electrical schematics so they accurately reflect current hardware and wiring (as-built documentation)

• Create new electrical system drawings for both high-voltage and low-voltage circuits

• Select electrical and control components for new and existing systems

• Create and maintain bills of materials (BOMs) tied to schematics and assemblies

• Practice disciplined document control for schematics and BOMs (revision control, accurate as-built records)

• Program and modify PLCs

• Program, configure, and troubleshoot stepper motors and servo drives

• Diagnose issues on existing equipment

• Connect to devices (motors, cameras, PLCs, drives, etc.) via serial port or other interfaces and use vendor/proprietary software to communicate, configure, and debug

• Support integration of new equipment and learn new systems with little supervision

• Take on new technical challenges as products and processes evolve

Required Qualifications

• Electrical engineering background (degree or equivalent practical experience)

• Hands-on PLC programming experience

• Proven ability to create and edit electrical drawings in AutoCAD (schematics, panel layouts, high- and low-voltage systems)

• Experience with component selection and creating/maintaining BOMs

• Strong document-control habits for schematics and BOMs (revisions, accuracy, traceability)

• Experience programming stepper motors and/or servo drives

• Minimum 1 year of relevant work experience (recent graduates will not be considered)

• Strong electrical troubleshooting skills on complete systems, not just individual components

• Self-motivated, able to work with little supervision, and willing to learn new technologies

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience with laser systems — helpful but not required

• Python programming experience

• C++ programming experience

• Experience programming robotic systems (Fanuc preferred; other brands also valued)

• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (Modbus, EtherNet/IP, etc.)

• Experience with machine vision / cameras or other smart devices

Must be a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Permanent Resident (Green Card Holder).

Candidates must currently be located in the United States. Candidates located outside of the United States will NOT be considered. Laser Photonics Corporation does not provide visa sponsorship.
