Role summary

Seeking an Electrical Engineer II with 2-5 years of experience in electrical system design, development, and manufacturing. Responsibilities include designing electrical systems, developing schematics, supporting validation and integration, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Requires experience with ECAD tools, electrical control systems, and hands-on testing. Familiarity with PLM systems and industrial standards is preferred. This role involves hands-on work and contributes to new product introduction and continuous improvement initiatives.

Responsibilities

  • Design and document electrical systems and components, including cables, wire harnesses, industrial control panels, and cable routing solutions.
  • Develop and maintain electrical schematics, System Interconnect Diagrams (SIDs), and related engineering documentation.
  • Support electrical system validation activities by developing test plans, executing tests, and documenting results.
  • Assist with system-level integration, testing, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis of electrical and electromechanical systems.
  • Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain teams to support prototype builds, production issues, and outsourced electrical assemblies.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives focused on product reliability, manufacturability, quality, and cost reduction.
  • Participate in New Product Introduction (NPI) activities, including prototype development, design verification, and production readiness efforts.
  • Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), drawings, procedures, and other product release documentation.
  • Support component lifecycle management activities, including obsolescence reviews and alternative part qualification.
  • Provide technical support to manufacturing, field service, quality, and other engineering teams.
  • Participate in MRB activities and dispositioning of nonconforming material.
  • Create and support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and assist in implementing design changes through the change control process.
  • Contribute to engineering projects under the guidance of senior engineers and engineering management.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
  • 2-5 years of experience in electrical system design, development, manufacturing, or sustaining engineering.
  • Experience using ECAD tools such as AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar software.
  • Experience developing electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and control panel documentation.
  • Familiarity with electrical systems used in industrial equipment, automation systems, semiconductor equipment, additive manufacturing systems, or similar capital equipment.
  • Hands-on experience with prototyping, system integration, testing, troubleshooting, or manufacturing support.
  • Working knowledge of electrical control systems, PLCs, motion control systems, industrial networking, AC/DC power distribution, and machine safety concepts.
  • Experience with Mechanical CAD tools such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD for electrical panel layouts and cable routing coordination.
  • Familiarity with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Product Data Management (PDM) systems such as Propel, Arena, Agile, or SolidWorks PDM.
  • Understanding of engineering documentation practices, drawing standards, and change management processes.
  • Familiarity with IEC, UL, CE, or other industrial equipment standards is a plus.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently on assigned tasks while collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
  • Willingness to work hands-on with system assembly, integration, and testing activities.
  • Demonstrated initiative, adaptability, and a desire to grow technically in a fast-paced engineering environment.
