What you'll do

• Translate controls I/O lists, signal lists, and interconnect definitions into complete electrical design packages: enclosure and panel schematics, panel layouts, terminal schedules, cable schedules, harness drawings, connector pinouts, and bills of material.
• Own assigned design packages end to end: derive requirements with controls and system owners, present at design reviews, release drawings through change control, and maintain as-built records.
• Design grounding, bonding, shielding, and isolation for controls, timing, and diagnostic signals in a pulsed power, high-EMI environment, including copper versus fiber selection and clean signal reference grounds.
• Specify and size control power and instrument power distribution, circuit protection, wire and cable, and enclosure components to applicable codes and standards (NFPA 70, NFPA 79, UL 508A).
• Plan and lead handoff to E&IC technicians, including build packages, work instructions, kitting, and build sequencing, and support them through fabrication and installation.
• Develop and execute point-to-point checkout, loop checks, and commissioning procedures with technicians and controls engineers, and capture redlines through to as-built.
• Coordinate electrical interfaces with mechanical, pulsed power, optics, and facilities teams, including rack and enclosure placement, cable routing, penetrations, and power feeds.
• Support installation and commissioning on the floor, troubleshoot wiring and signal issues, and document root cause and design changes.
• Contribute to Electrical Engineering standards: drawing templates, symbol and part libraries, wire labeling and color conventions, and design review checklists.
• Lead small work packages, coordinating with controls, mechanical, and manufacturing teams, and begin mentoring junior engineers and technicians.

What you need

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related STEM field; an advanced degree is a plus.
• Experience: Typically 5+ years of relevant experience in electrical design for control systems, industrial automation, or test facilities, including producing drawing packages that others build from.
• Solid foundation in:
• Control panel and enclosure design and schematic drafting (AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar)
• Grounding, bonding, shielding, and EMI/EMC fundamentals for mixed power and signal systems
• Low voltage power distribution, circuit protection, and wire and cable sizing per NEC, NFPA 79, and UL 508A
• Working knowledge of industrial control hardware, including PLC and EtherCAT I/O, remote I/O, sensors and actuators, signal conditioning, relays, and discrete, analog, and 4-20 mA signals.
• Hands-on experience with field checkout and commissioning: point-to-point verification, loop checks, and troubleshooting with multimeters and oscilloscopes.
• Experience releasing and revising drawings through document or change control and working with PLM or document management systems.
• Ability to work independently on problems of diverse scope, with work reviewed at critical milestones, and to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance if required by future program work; a clearance is not required at the time of hire.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
