What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical Design Engineer position at Podium Automation?
Podium Automation is reimagining industrial control panel manufacturing through software-enabled design and automated fabrication. We're building technology to create a new industrial supply chain - reducing lead times for critical electrical equipment from months to days. We've raised over $23M from top-tier investors including Construct Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Transition Ventures, Sunflower Capital, Banter Capital, and SV Angel.
We are seeking a full-time electrical engineer to work across control panel design, build, and test. You will have the opportunity to work across the end-to-end process in a variety of operations from electrical design to enclosure modification through final testing.
What You’ll Do
There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):
Compensation Range: $70K - $100K
We are seeking a full-time electrical engineer to work across control panel design, build, and test. You will have the opportunity to work across the end-to-end process in a variety of operations from electrical design to enclosure modification through final testing.
What You’ll Do
- Translate customer design requirements into build-ready UL 508A compliant electrical schematics
- Build out Podium’s component database and standardized symbol library
- Test, implement, and provide feedback on new software tools that help speed up the schematic creation process
- Support our operations in answering technician questions and turning those questions into process improvement sprints
- Support the automation of the panel build process through testing of new methods and tools, and ensuring necessary information is digitized during the design phase.
There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):
- Win for the customer. We sit on the same side of the table as our customers - their wins are our wins. We’re building the vendor we always wished we had.
- Default to transparency. We believe in honesty, transparency, and kindness. It’s about how you get things done and not just what gets done.
- Speed is a feature. We move fast and take ownership. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
- Win and lose as a team. Individuals drive inputs, teams drive outputs. We celebrate success together but aren’t afraid to fail and iterate. We own outcomes together and don’t deflect blame.
- Must have completed a 4-year degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering or a related field
- 1-2 years of work experience in electrical engineering with good understanding of electrical fundamentals (AC vs DC voltage, function of overcurrent protection devices, sizing of wiring)
- Familiar with DTM, E3, EPLAN, or AutoCAD Electrical
- Available to work in-person in Brooklyn, NY (in person, 5 days/week)
- Experience working in a UL 508A panel shop or designing industrial control panels
- Mechanically inclined and experience doing light sheet metal modification work and wiring
