- Design and schematically capture all electrical circuits of a new factory automation system or a modification to an existing factory automation system.
- Use corporate approved CAD tools to design all electrical subsystems including panels, enclosures and cabling. Use those CAD tools to produce complete assembly documentation for the new subsystems.
- Where necessary, select PLC components per corporate standards and integrate these PLC components into new electrical subsystems.
- In cooperation with the software development team, participate in the programming of PLC components. This programming may include foundational functions of the PLC system as well as diagnostics.
- Take all reasonable measures to ensure maximum safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of a new electrical design.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineers, software engineers, project managers, and production staff in the troubleshooting and debugging of a newly assembled system.
- Support and advise the Technician team during assembly of a new system.
- Participate in the ongoing improvement of the design environment and processes, including research and evaluation of new CAD tools and hardware diagnostic instruments.
- Stay updated with the latest industry trends, technology advancements, and regulatory requirements.
- Offer technical support and training to staff.
- Establish and maintain a working relationship with all vendors who provide electrical components and technical services.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor s degree in electrical engineering or a related electrical degree.
- Minimum 4 years of experience in electrical engineering related to factory automation and industrial system integration.
- Strong experience collaborating with Management and Engineering teams to create requirements and specifications for factory automation systems.
- Strong experience electrically integrating disparate industrial components and machinery into factory automation systems, including the design of any custom circuitry, panels and cabling required for integration.
- Strong experience designing PLC-based factory control systems.
- Strong experience electrically integrating industrial safety components into factory automation systems.
- Strongly proficient in electrical schematic capture of entire electrical systems using software tools such as AutoCAD, Microsoft Visio, or similar.
- Strongly proficient in mechanical CAD modeling and design tools such as SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor.
- Strongly proficient in the use of oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
- Strong understanding of electrical assembly processes and documentation, including electrical panels, electrical enclosures, and cables.
- Experience working with vendors to identify suitable components for factory automation and to provide support for purchased components.
