Responsibilities
Electrical Design
- Design control panels and electrical systems for industrial automation and robotic applications.
- Develop schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, cable schedules, and bills of materials.
- Define electrical architecture and select power-distribution, control, motion, sensing, and safety components.
- Design electrical interfaces for robots, tooling, conveyors, vision systems, and peripheral equipment.
System Integration & Build Support
- Collaborate with Mechanical Design, Controls & Software, Robotics, and Vision Engineers to define complete system requirements.
- Coordinate I/O, communications, power, triggering, lighting, cable routing, enclosures, and operator-interface requirements.
- Support panel fabrication, machine wiring, end-of-arm tooling integration, system testing, and commissioning.
- Participate in design reviews and troubleshoot electrical issues during assembly and startup.
Safety, Standards & Vendor Support
- Participate in machine-safety risk assessments and develop electrical designs that address identified hazards.
- Design safety circuits, emergency-stop systems, interlocks, disconnecting means, and protective devices.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable electrical codes, customer requirements, and industry standards.
- Work with vendors to evaluate component ratings, compatibility, availability, and compliance.
Success in the First 12 Months
- Produce accurate, buildable electrical designs and revision-controlled documentation using I2T standards.
- Complete assigned engineering work on schedule while meeting technical, safety, and customer requirements.
- Support panel fabrication, machine wiring, integration, and commissioning with timely issue resolution.
- Develop stronger capability in control-panel design, component selection, machine safety, and applicable standards.
Qualifications
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.
