Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities Develop complete electrical control panel designs, including schematics, one-line diagrams, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, bills of materials (BOMs), assembly drawings, and wire lists. Specify, size, and integrate electrical components such as circuit breakers, contactors, transformers, power supplies, PLCs, VFDs, terminal blocks, enclosures, and associated wiring. Design custom cable assemblies and wiring harnesses to support integrated automation and control systems. Create and execute hardware validation plans, test fixtures, and verification procedures to ensure system functionality, safety, and regulatory compliance. Analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve electrical and control system issues by interpreting schematics and system architectures from field devices through PLCs, motor drives, HMIs, and SCADA interfaces. Configure, commission, and debug PLC and HMI applications, including industrial communication networks and SCADA connectivity. Apply applicable electrical codes and safety standards, including NFPA 79, NEC, UL 508A, IEC/EN 60204-1, ISO 12100, and ISO 13849-1, while addressing SCCR, arc-flash, CE, TÜV, and lockout/tagout (LOTO) requirements. Provide technical guidance and engineering support to manufacturing teams, panel builders, suppliers, service personnel, purchasing, and sales throughout project execution. Maintain accurate engineering documentation, manage design revisions through Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), and update product data within PLM systems. Perform root-cause analysis, identify technical risks, and implement corrective actions to improve system reliability and performance. Communicate project progress, technical challenges, and engineering solutions effectively with cross-functional teams, management, vendors, and customers. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by supporting engineering best practices, mentoring team members, and enhancing departmental processes. Travel as required to support customer installations, commissioning activities, troubleshooting, and on-site engineering assistance. Preferred Qualifications Bachelor\'s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, with 3–5 years of experience in industrial automation, controls, or electrical system design. Experience designing and developing automated equipment for industries such as machine building, robotics, semiconductor manufacturing, medical devices, or contract engineering. Strong knowledge of low-voltage industrial control systems and three-phase power distribution up to 480 VAC. Experience designing and validating electrical test fixtures, including instrumentation, data acquisition systems, automated test equipment, and hardware characterization. Hands-on experience with motion control systems, including servo, stepper, and BLDC motors, drives, encoders, motion controllers, and closed-loop tuning. Knowledge of sensor integration, analog and digital signal conditioning, and industrial instrumentation. Experience programming and troubleshooting PLC and HMI systems using Siemens, Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, or similar platforms, including industrial communication protocols such as EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, CANopen, and Industry 4.0/IIoT technologies. Experience with safety PLCs is a plus. Proficiency with electrical design software such as EPLAN Electric P8, AutoCAD Electrical, or SolidWorks Electrical. Experience with schematic capture and PCB design using Altium Designer, KiCad, or similar tools for custom electronic circuits, including power supply and signal conditioning designs. Understanding of electrical safety principles and compliance with standards including NFPA 79, NEC, IEC/EN 60204-1, ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1, UL 508A, CE, and TÜV requirements, including SCCR, arc-flash, and lockout/tagout (LOTO) considerations. UL 508A MTR certification is a plus. Familiarity with embedded systems development and firmware programming in C/C++ to support custom electronic hardware. Experience developing automated test scripts and engineering tools using Python, LabVIEW, or MATLAB. Familiarity with Engineering Change Order (ECO) processes and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems for configuration and design change management. #J-18808-Ljbffr Metric Bio
