Role summary

Podium Automation is seeking a full-time Electrical Design Engineer to join their team in Brooklyn, NY. This role involves working across the end-to-end process of control panel design, build, and test. Responsibilities include translating customer requirements into UL 508A compliant schematics, building component databases, testing new software tools, and supporting the automation of the panel build process. The ideal candidate has 1-2 years of experience in electrical engineering with a strong understanding of electrical fundamentals and familiarity with design software like EPLAN or AutoCAD Electrical. Experience in a UL 508A panel shop is a plus.

Podium Automation is reimagining industrial control panel manufacturing through software-enabled design and automated fabrication. We're building technology to create a new industrial supply chain - reducing lead times for critical electrical equipment from months to days. We've raised over $23M from top-tier investors including Construct Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Transition Ventures, Sunflower Capital, Banter Capital, and SV Angel.

We are seeking a full-time electrical engineer to work across control panel design, build, and test. You will have the opportunity to work across the end-to-end process in a variety of operations from electrical design to enclosure modification through final testing.

What You’ll Do

  • Translate customer design requirements into build-ready UL 508A compliant electrical schematics

  • Build out Podium’s component database and standardized symbol library

  • Test, implement, and provide feedback on new software tools that help speed up the schematic creation process

  • Support our operations in answering technician questions and turning those questions into process improvement sprints

  • Support the automation of the panel build process through testing of new methods and tools, and ensuring necessary information is digitized during the design phase.

Who You Are

There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):

  • Win for the customer. We sit on the same side of the table as our customers - their wins are our wins. We’re building the vendor we always wished we had.

  • Default to transparency. We believe in honesty, transparency, and kindness. It’s about how you get things done and not just what gets done.

  • Speed is a feature. We move fast and take ownership. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

  • Win and lose as a team. Individuals drive inputs, teams drive outputs. We celebrate success together but aren’t afraid to fail and iterate. We own outcomes together and don’t deflect blame.

What We’re Looking For

  • Must have completed a 4-year degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering or a related field

  • 1-2 years of work experience in electrical engineering with good understanding of electrical fundamentals (AC vs DC voltage, function of overcurrent protection devices, sizing of wiring)

  • Familiar with DTM, E3, EPLAN, or AutoCAD Electrical

  • Available to work in-person in Brooklyn, NY (in person, 5 days/week)

Nice To Have

  • Experience working in a UL 508A panel shop or designing industrial control panels

  • Mechanically inclined and experience doing light sheet metal modification work and wiring
