Electrical Engineer I-1854

An Electrical Engineer II at a PSM manufacturing company will design, develop, and maintain electrical systems while ensuring compliance with safety regulations. This mid-level engineering role requires balancing technical design with the rigorous safety standards of Process Safety Management (PSM), which is essential in industries that handle highly hazardous chemicals.  Typical responsibilities Systems design and development: Design, simulate, and test electrical systems, components, and circuits for new and existing manufacturing equipment. Create and revise electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and layouts using CAD software like AutoCAD or EPLAN. Process Safety Management (PSM) and compliance: Actively participate in PSM activities, including Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs) and Pre-Startup Safety Reviews (PSSRs), to ensure that electrical designs meet all applicable safety standards, such as those from OSHA and NFPA. Automation and controls: Design and program control systems using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), with specific experience in platforms like Allen-Bradley or Siemens often required. Optimize control systems for efficiency and reliability. Manufacturing support: Provide technical support to manufacturing and maintenance teams to troubleshoot electrical issues and resolve equipment failures. Develop maintenance and testing procedures for electrical equipment. Project management: Plan and execute small to medium capital projects related to equipment upgrades and process improvements, including creating budgets, timelines, and procurement specifications. Cross-functional collaboration: Work with mechanical, software, and other engineering disciplines, as well as production and management, to ensure projects meet all requirements. Documentation and reporting: Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, engineering reports, and records throughout the project lifecycle.  Required qualifications Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. Experience: Typically 2–5 years of related electrical engineering experience, often with a background in manufacturing or industrial settings. Experience in a PSM-regulated environment is essential for this specific role. Technical skills: Proficiency in electrical CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN). Experience with industrial automation, including PLCs, HMIs, and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). Knowledge of electrical power distribution systems, instrumentation, and control networks. Familiarity with industry codes and standards, such as NEC, NFPA, and IEEE. Soft skills: Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills. Excellent communication skills for collaborating with technical and non-technical teams. Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a dynamic environment.
