Hardware Design Engineer

What You'll Do

• Define the LV architecture, single-line diagrams, interface requirements, and concept of operations during preliminary design.
• Produce wiring diagrams, schematics, cable schedules, load lists, I/O lists, and supporting analyses through detailed design.
• Own first-article build, electrical checkout, troubleshooting, first energization, and commissioning during test.

You'll Own

• The electrical design of every support system on the turbine:
  • LV power distribution, conversion, control, and protection across 480VAC skid distribution, machine control and actuation, instrumentation, and 12–28VDC electronics
  • Cable, harness, junction-box, connector, and control-panel architecture for skid-mounted industrial equipment
  • Grounding, bonding, shielding, and EMI/EMC design practices across power, control, and instrumentation wiring
• Electrical interfaces with the turbine control system, including I/O definition, signal types, device power, permissives, and fault feedback
• Motor control systems, including VFDs, soft starters, contactors, overload protection, and control relays
• Fuel system electrical integration, including valves, actuators, heaters, instrumentation, and gas-conditioning equipment
• Lube oil system electrical integration, including pumps, heaters, coolers, level, temperature, and pressure instrumentation, and local controls
• Starting system electrical architecture, including starter motor interfaces, auxiliaries, permissives, and control circuits
• SCR and emissions system electrical integration, including injection systems, heaters, controls, instrumentation, and safety interlocks
• Cooling system electrical integration, including radiator fans, cooling tower interfaces, pumps, VFDs, instrumentation, and controls
• Enclosure and balance-of-plant electrical systems, including HVAC, lighting, fire detection, suppression interfaces, access control, and safety interlocks

What You'll Need

• Experience designing and commissioning LV electrical systems for industrial equipment — turbines, compressors, generators, or similar rotating machinery.
• Hands-on fluency with motor control, instrumentation wiring, and control panel design in 480VAC and 12–28VDC environments.
• The ability to produce clean, buildable drawings: schematics, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, and I/O lists that a technician can follow without a phone call.
• Comfort working across mechanical, controls, and instrumentation teams — and translating between them when needed.

Where You'll Thrive

• Find first-energization day more exciting than intimidating.
• Have strong instincts about how systems should be laid out, and you'd rather voice a concern early than quietly inherit someone else's mistake.
• Be equally at home at a desk producing drawings and on the floor tracing a wiring problem.
• Want to see your work run — not hand it off.
