Electrical Engineer
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to work closely with our mechanical engineering and manufacturing teams to support the design, documentation, assembly, and continuous improvement of our electron beam equipment. This role is ideal for an early-career engineer looking to develop hands-on experience in industrial electrical systems, controls, and machine design while receiving mentorship from senior engineering staff.
The successful candidate will assist in developing electrical schematics and wire run lists, helping to standardize electrical designs for future machine offerings. They will also support the creation of manufacturing work instructions and documentation to ensure efficient wiring and assembly processes. While travel is not expected as part of the role, opportunities for domestic and international travel to customer sites may arise to support installations, troubleshooting, or technical projects.
Primary Duties & Responsibilities
- Assist with the design, documentation, and implementation of electrical control systems under the guidance of senior engineering staff.
- Support the development and standardization of electrical schematics and wire run lists using AutoCAD Electrical.
- Work closely with the mechanical engineering team to ensure seamless integration of electrical and mechanical systems.
- Collaborate with manufacturing to provide technical support during machine wiring, assembly, testing, and troubleshooting.
- Support the development and maintenance of manufacturing SOPs, work instructions, and electrical documentation.
- Assist in evaluating existing electrical controls and wiring methods for opportunities to improve reliability, manufacturability, and performance.
- Help ensure engineering documentation released to manufacturing is complete, accurate, and up to date.
- Assist with migrating engineering documentation into the Autodesk Vault document management system.
- Support third-party controls consultants, including Opto22 programming efforts, to improve machine functionality and diagnostics.
- Assist with the evaluation and implementation of PLC hardware and electrical components for future machine designs.
- Perform electrical testing and validation using common test equipment, including oscilloscopes, multimeters, and waveform/function generators.
