If you are passionate about precision, thrive on solving complex real-world challenges, and want to be part of a close-knit engineering team, this is your opportunity to impact the future of manufacturing technology.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end electrical hardware design of industrial equipment, including power distribution (AC 120V–600V and DC 24V–60V), wiring, enclosures, and component selection.
• Use EPLAN to develop schematics, cable routing, and layouts that meet NEC, UL, and CE requirements.
• Document and manage all supporting materials: BOMs, terminal layouts, grounding plans, and vendor specifications ensuring quality handoff to electricians and compliance with risk assessments and safety standards.
• Collaborate with mechanical and manufacturing engineers to integrate electrical systems into practical, serviceable machines and support builds with shop-floor and checkout testing, troubleshooting, and problem resolution.
• Specify and validate electrical components (motors, relays, breakers, power cables, etc.) for reliability in demanding environments while continually improving documentation and engineering processes.
• Collaborate with the automation engineer to support integration, ensuring hardware designs align with control architecture and process needs.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 7–12 years of experience in industrial hardware design with a deep understanding of power circuits, panel layout, and regulatory compliance.
• Strong working knowledge of EPLAN for schematic and layout development.
• Applied understanding of NEC, UL, and CE codes.
• Experience in specifying and integrating industrial hardware including transformers, motors, relays, and electrical protection components in machine systems.
• Commitment to design compliance and thoroughness.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with power circuits for high temperature-controlled systems, furnaces, or vacuum systems is a plus.
• A hands-on, systems-level mindset with strong communication skills.
• Passion for real-world problem-solving and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment.
