An Electrical Engineer designs, develops, and tests products and systems that use or produce electricity, including power generators, electric motors, radar and navigation systems, and communication systems. Works on larger electrical systems rather than small electronic products or devices.
Design and detail complete industrial control systems, translating mechanical schematics and customer requirements into practical electrical solutions. Create electrical schematics, system drawings, engineering calculations, bills of equipment, and technical documentation. Develop and support PLC/controller software and graphical user interface (HMI/GUI) code for industrial equipment. Select and specify electrical components, instrumentation, networking hardware, and purchased equipment. Own the electrical scope of assigned projects, including schedules, subcontractor coordination, bid-package documentation, transmittals, and document control. Partner directly with customers to establish design goals, clarify requirements, participate in design reviews, and communicate technical solutions. Collaborate with mechanical engineering, estimating, fabrication, software, installation, suppliers, and contractors throughout the project lifecycle. Follow designs through equipment fabrication and software testing, then support installation, site verification, startup, debugging, and commissioning. Diagnose and resolve electrical hardware, software, networking, and installation issues—both before they occur and when rapid field support is needed. Maintain project schedules and ensure electrical deliverables remain accurate, coordinated, and ready for execution.
Your Skills:
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering. 5-10 years of related experience designing electrical systems for industrial controls and control panels. Hands-on knowledge of PLC programming, HMI/GUI programming, computer operating systems, industrial networking, and process control. Experience with industrial networks such as EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, DeviceNet, or comparable technologies. Ability to read and interpret electrical and mechanical schematics and apply NEC and applicable local codes; knowledge of DIN standards is a plus. Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and engineering-calculation skills, with the ability to define technical problems and develop practical solutions. Experience specifying electrical components and supporting industrial equipment through fabrication, installation, startup, and debug. Ability to understand and maintain project schedules while managing multiple priorities, documentation, and technical deliverables. Clear verbal and written communication skills for working with customers, engineers, estimators, contractors, suppliers, and cross-functional teams. Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; ability to learn Microsoft Visio. SAP knowledge is a plus. Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-moving, continuously evolving engineering environment. Apply now
