Electrical Engineer
About the role
The Electrical Engineer will work within Hadrian's Special Projects division, focusing on the design, build, and integration of industrial systems for robotic machining cells. This role requires expertise in control panel layout and build, machine wiring and harnesses, drive systems, safety circuits, and cell-level industrial power distribution.
Responsibilities
- Design control panels and machine harnesses for robotic machining cells to NFPA 79, UL 508A, and IEC 60204-1.
- Specify and integrate VFDs, servo drives, safety-rated relays / controllers, E-stops, light curtains, and interlocks.
- Design and document 480 V / 208 V / 120 V AC distribution and 24 V DC logic, including transformer / disconnect / UPS sizing.
- Run arc-flash analysis and NFPA 70E labeling for every cell.
- Commission panels and harnesses on the floor — megger, hipot, continuity, insulation, LOTO walkdowns.
- Codify electrical standards — labeling, wire colors, fuse strategies, grounding — into a reusable library.
- Be the on-call electrical owner when a cell goes down; chase drives, power quality, grounding, and harnesses to root cause.
Requirements
- Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on + credentials.
- 3+ years designing and commissioning industrial control panels for automated machinery.
- Fluent in EPLAN Electric P8 or AutoCAD Electrical (SolidWorks Electrical considered).
- Experience with at least one of Rockwell / Siemens / Beckhoff / Yaskawa VFD and servo drives.
- Proven experience wiring and commissioning panels on the floor — not just drawing them.
- Comfortable reading scope / clamp-meter traces and debugging drives, ground loops, and power quality.
What Will Set You Apart
- Licensed PE (Electrical) or on the PE track.
- Led an arc-flash study end-to-end in SKM or EasyPower.
- Built or maintained a company-wide electrical standards / panel library.
- Industrial networks experience at the physical layer — EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, IO-Link.
- High-energy / high-current experience (battery, welding, induction, or similar).
- Experience supporting a greenfield factory power distribution build-out.
