Electrical Engineer (Systems Integration & Industrial Controls)

Job Description We are seeking a versatile, hands-on Electrical Engineer to support and evolve a complex, large-scale inspection system deployed in high-security environments. This role will act as a key contributor—filling a critical gap left by a senior team member—and requires a "jack-of-all-trades" mindset with strong ownership of electrical design, system integration, and documentation. You will work within a highly experienced team (many with 20+ years tenure) while helping modernize and scale existing systems as part of a major system refactoring initiative. Key Responsibilities

•  Lead electrical design efforts across system-level and subsystem components
•  Support reactivation and modernization of a large-scale MEP system (MEP 2.0 initiative)
•  Translate ambiguous or high-level requirements into clear electrical designs and subsystem specifications
•  Develop system architectures using block diagrams and progressively refine into detailed designs
•  Own full documentation lifecycle: schematics, wiring diagrams, BOMs, interface control documents (ICDs), and engineering change requests (ECRs)
•  Design and integrate electrical systems including:
•  Industrial control panels (NEMA enclosures, DIN rail assemblies)
•  PLC-based automation systems (IEC 61131)
•  Power distribution, sensors, and data acquisition components
•  Integrate COTS components (computers, networks, sensors, cameras, etc.) into cohesive system designs
•  Support system-level integration across mechanical, software, and operational domains
•  Design test fixtures and support validation activities
•  Release designs to manufacturing and support production replication
•  Troubleshoot systems using standard lab equipment (oscilloscopes, DMMs, etc.) System Environment
•  Large-scale, fixed inspection systems deployed at border crossings
•  Equipment includes sensors, traffic control systems, cameras, and X-ray scanning technologies
•  Systems span hundreds of feet and connect to centralized command and operations centers
•  Industrial machinery environment with high voltage, hydraulics, and embedded infrastructure Core Technical Focus
•  Electrical system design (analog & digital)
•  Industrial controls and machine design
•  PCB design (secondary focus; primarily system-level wiring and integration)
•  Power systems and distribution
•  Data acquisition and instrumentation
•  System integration and architecture using COTS components
•  Engineering documentation as a primary deliverable We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day.
