- Join a stable, family-owned engineering company where technical decisions matter
Duties & Responsibilities
You'll lead the electrical design of complex industrial machinery, including:
- Design complete electrical hardware systems using EPLAN
- Develop electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and manufacturing documentation
- Design AC (120–600V) and DC (24–60V) power distribution systems
- Specify motors, transformers, relays, breakers, heaters, SCRs, cables, and electrical protection devices
- Develop BOMs, terminal layouts, grounding plans, and installation documentation
- Ensure designs comply with NEC, NFPA, UL508A, CE, NFPA 79, NFPA 86, and ISO 13849 requirements
- Support prototype builds, commissioning, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement
- Partner with Automation Engineering to ensure seamless hardware integration
