Resumo da oferta

Creature Technology is seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our team in Port Melbourne, designing the electrical systems that power and control our large-scale animatronic creatures from concept through testing, commissioning, and installation.

We welcome Senior Electrical Engineers who can provide technical leadership and project guidance, collaborating with fabrication, controls, mechanical, production, and project teams to deliver reliable systems across the full project lifecycle.

Qualificações

• Hold a tertiary qualification in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Robotics Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.
• Have at least five years’ electrical engineering experience producing controls and power distribution systems for machinery.
• Have delivered electrical designs from concept through to completion.
• Have experience designing machine wiring and developing wiring schematics.
• Have worked with industrial motion equipment and low-voltage systems below 1kV.
• Can use an electrical CAE platform (EPLAN Electric P8 or a comparable) to produce designs, schematics, documentation, and project deliverables.
• Have supported fabrication, testing, installation, and commissioning activities as part of an engineering project.
• Can translate technical and project requirements into practical electrical engineering outputs.
• Are registered as a Professional Engineer in Victoria in Electrical Engineering, or can achieve registration within an agreed timeframe.
• Hold a valid passport that allows you to travel out of and return to Australia.
• Communicate clearly and enjoy working across engineering, fabrication, production, and project teams.

Responsabilidades

• Design controls and power distribution systems for large-scale animatronic creatures and bespoke machinery.
• Develop electrical schematics, cabinet layouts, single-line diagrams, multi-line drawings, and project documentation using an electrical CAE platform.
• Select and evaluate electrical components across design, purchasing, fabrication, testing, and installation stages.
• Complete low-voltage and extra-low-voltage power distribution calculations, including cable sizing, cabinet heat dissipation, and power requirements for DC servo systems.
• Prepare I/O lists and configure terminals with consideration for electrical loads and system requirements.
• Support the design and supervise the manufacture of equipment cabinets, electrical assemblies, prototypes, and first-article builds.
• Work closely with electrical fabrication and other technical teams during wiring, functional testing, fault-finding, commissioning, and installation.
• Maintain bills of materials, technical records, drawings, specifications, and other project deliverables throughout the project lifecycle.
• Apply machinery-safety requirements and hazard-analysis principles to electrical design decisions.
• Coordinate electrical engineering tasks with project managers, engineers, production teams, vendors, and suppliers.
• Review designs and documentation carefully, incorporating technical feedback before formal approval.
• Identify electrical design or integration issues early and help develop practical solutions with the wider project team.
