Electrical Design Engineer

Qualifications:

• BSEE or equivalent Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (required or strongly preferred).
• 5 years of experience as an electrical project design engineer in industrial equipment, material handling, or closely related industries (less may be considered).
• Hands-on experience with PLC ladder logic programming and industrial controls software, including Siemens PLC and Rockwell PLC (Allen-Bradley) exposure.
• Electrical project engineering competency in electrical design for industrial systems, including control panels and system-level electrical design ownership.
• Knowledge of electrical codes and power/control design practices, including sizing and selection for power components (up to 800 VDC and up to 4160 VAC) and supporting acceptance testing.
• Ability to read, design, and mark up single line diagrams, electrical schematics, panel layouts, and conduit drawings; support as-builts and configuration control.
• Experience troubleshooting and modifying PLC code and HMI programs for automated processes (including creating original PLC programs, not only edits to existing programs).
• Ability to lead or support cross-functional testing and field/shop issue resolution with engineering and service teams.

Responsibilities:

• Lead electrical and controls engineering execution at site and in-office, providing daily technical direction to engineers, technicians, and craft as needed.
• Partner with the project manager and installation leadership to define work scope, maintain schedule, and keep customer acceptance moving forward.
• Troubleshoot and update PLC code and HMI programs to support automated crane or material handling equipment functionality and commissioning needs.
• Create, review, and mark up electrical documentation including single line diagrams, schematics, panel layouts, interconnects, and conduit drawings; return updates to engineering for configuration control.
• Perform electrical sizing and selection calculations for wire, drives, braking resistors, transformers, contactors, and overload protection; support FAT and SAT activities and document outcomes.
