Specific Job Description:

RMSL is seeking an Electro-Mechanical Engineer to lead electrical system design and integration for an exciting and complex project involving a dozen interconnected stations, robotic subsystems, and a large, centralized control panel. While leaning more towards electrical design, this role will require mechanical design experience on SOLIDWORKS to assist with other projects. This position will report to the Automation & Robotics Group Manager and play a critical role in defining and implementing the electrical architecture, documentation, and integration strategy for automated manufacturing systems.

Duties Include:

• Lead the design, documentation, and implementation of complex electrical control systems
• Develop and maintain wiring schematics, panel layouts, cable schedules, and component lists using SOLIDWORKS Electrical
• Design and oversee the build of large control panels and power distribution systems
• Specify and select electrical components, sensors, safety systems, PLCs, HMIs, and communication devices
• Program or assist programming PLCs (Rockwell, Siemens, etc.) and coordinate robot integration efforts
• Generate and maintain comprehensive electrical documentation packages for each system
• Ensure designs meet applicable safety and regulatory standards (e.g., NFPA 79, UL508A, NEC, etc.)
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, test, chemical, software, and automation engineers throughout the design, build, and test phases
• Lead electrical troubleshooting and commissioning of robotic and automated systems
• Mentor and supervise junior engineers or technicians
• Assist in customer interactions and proposal development
• Mechanical prototype designs of products and systems from simple to complex parts and assemblies in CAD(Preferably SOLIDWORKS)
• Work with energetic material process technology – bridge materials formulation/application, component level material consolidation and integration
• Assist in project engineering tasks such as report writing, technical presentations (at customer and public meetings), and technical deliverables tracking
• Interface with RMSL customers, teammates, and partners in a professional manner
• Must be able to work overtime when necessary to meet mission critical goals and timelines

• Strong experience with electrical schematic capture and control panel design
• At least 1 year of experience designing mechanical systems on SOLIDWORKS
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (Ethernet/IP, Modbus, etc.)
• Knowledge of machine safety systems and safety circuit design
• Working understanding of robotics, sensors, motor drives, and power distribution
• Strong documentation and organizational skills
• Comfortable leading technical efforts and guiding junior staff
• Ability to troubleshoot and debug electromechanical systems
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Strong teamwork and leadership capabilities

Highly Beneficial Skills:

• Experience with multi-station or large integrated automation systems
