Electrical and Control Design Engineer, OneMHS - Electrical and Control Engineering, Arch and Design

About the role

We are seeking a motivated Hardware Development Engineer I (HDE I) to contribute to the research, design, and development of electrical and controls sub-components for material handling systems within One MHS (One Material Handling Systems). In this entry-level role, you will solve straightforward hardware-related engineering problems with guidance from senior team members, gaining hands-on experience in power distribution, controls design, and industrial communication protocols.

Responsibilities

• Assist in the design of electrical sub-components for power and controls systems related to MH projects, including 3-phase and single-phase power distribution elements
• Support development of electrical layouts, schematics, and panel designs under guidance from senior engineers
• Design hardware sub-components that match defined specifications and requirements, incorporating PCB layout best practices and EMI/EMC compliance considerations
• Learn and apply modular and scalable design principles that prioritize reliability, maintainability, and performance
• Develop component and assembly drawings, bill of materials, and supporting documentation using CAD modelling software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks)
• Support the design and implementation of industrial communication networks utilizing EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, and PROFINET protocols under senior engineer guidance
• Assist in developing control system architectures incorporating IPCs, PLCs, and SCADA systems
• Learn to specify, configure, and integrate Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and associated interfaces within material handling systems
• Assist in the selection, specification, and integration of sensors, encoders, safety circuits, and safety devices in accordance with applicable safety standards
• Build and test prototypes of electrical and controls sub-components to validate designs against specifications
• Evaluate designs through analysis and testing; troubleshoot, research root causes, and resolve defects when problems arise
• Work with suppliers to understand feasibility of fabrication and manufacturing (DFM, tolerance analysis)
• Assist the team in making trade-off decisions regarding materials, availability, and cost
• Support compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) / NFPA 70 and other applicable standards
• Research how proposed solutions impact the product (cost, functionality, quality, durability, performance) and communicate findings to stakeholders

Requirements

• 2+ years of hardware design and validation of components, subsystems and systems experience
• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, physics or equivalent

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of engineering practices and patterns for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, certification, and livesite operations
• Experience with hardware/software integration and real-time systems
• 3+ years of in material handling equipment (MHE) or automation environments experience, or experience and strong technical background in relevant fields of automated or non-automated material handling equipment
• 2+ years of PLC/SCADA integration experience, or Bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, automation engineering, or equivalent
• Experience with electrical systems
• Knowledge of electrical engineering principles including switchgear, UPS, transformers, and circuit breakers
• Knowledge of AutoCAD 3D
• Experience with design, wire-framing, and prototyping tools
• Experience with DFM (Design for Manufacturing) or tolerance analysis
• Familiarity with UL 508A panel design standards or NFPA 70E
