Role summary

EMIT Technologies is seeking a detail-oriented Applications Engineer to manage panel and controls applications as an individual contributor. This role involves translating customer requirements into buildable panel configurations and documentation, ensuring successful production and field start-up. You will collaborate with customer engineers and internal teams (Solutions, Mechanical, Software Engineering, Sales) to deliver correctly configured and documented panels. Responsibilities include defining functional requirements, creating schematics and bills of materials in SolidWorks, generating configuration and test files, and supporting commissioning. The role also includes sharing weekend and off-hours customer support coverage after an initial ramp-up period. A Bachelor's degree in a related engineering field or equivalent experience is required, along with a solid understanding of control systems, gas compression principles, and electrical drafting. SolidWorks experience is preferred. The position is primarily office-based with occasional travel and requires standard PPE for site visits.

Specific Role:

We’re looking for a technically sharp, detail-oriented Applications Engineer to own EMIT Technologies’ panel and controls applications as an individual contributor. In this role, you’ll translate customer requirements into buildable panel configurations and the documentation that carries them to production, then see them through to a clean start-up in the field. You’ll work directly with customer engineers and collaborate closely with Solutions Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, and Sales to deliver panels that are correctly configured, well documented, and ready to build. After an initial ramp alongside our Controls Engineering Manager, you’ll also share weekend and off-hours customer call and activation coverage with our Technical Support team.

Key Accountabilities:

Work directly with customer engineers to determine panel functional requirements and design panel configurations to match

Participate in customer reviews of functional requirements for new panel applications, and verify requirements with the customer to secure approval before configuration work proceeds

Support Sales and Solutions Engineering in identifying which EMIT products and configurations fit a customer’s request, including whether it can be done and what parts are required

Help customers plan how panel functionality will apply to their project

Review IO sheets from Solutions Engineering for technical accuracy and completeness, and create IO sheets directly for requests that don’t come through Solutions Engineering

Create panel schematics and resulting bills of materials in SolidWorks (2D), and make electrical drawing changes as needed

Create configuration files, test files, and wire files, plus cause and effect diagrams and sequence-of-operations documentation as required

Partner with Mechanical Engineering to release completed panel documentation to production

Coordinate with Mechanical Engineering on drawing updates and with Software Engineering on new features needed to complete a panel application

Support engine control application scoping, identifying the kits and parts required for a given application

Assist customers at unit commissioning with control changes to meet site-specific requirements, including occasional on-site support

Set up hardware simulations to support field troubleshooting

Share weekend and off-hours activation and customer call coverage with the Technical Support team once initial ramp is complete

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in electrical, controls, mechanical, or a related engineering field, or equivalent hands-on experience

Solid understanding of control systems and control theory

Working knowledge of gas compression principles, valves, and gas process flow

Experience with electrical drafting; SolidWorks experience preferred

Strong technical aptitude with the ability to retain and apply technical details

Exceptional attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and complete documentation

Clear communication skills and comfort working directly with customer engineers and cross-functional teams

Strong work ethic and a self-motivated, solutions-oriented mindset

Willingness to travel occasionally to customer sites and participate in a weekend/off-hours coverage rotation

Primarily office-based role; site and manufacturing floor visits require standard PPE

We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome candidates from all backgrounds.

Pay Range$90,000—$115,000 USD
