• At least 5 years of experience in electrical/electromechanical design for industrial machinery or semiconductor equipment.
• Experience with electrical CAD/CAE systems, especially EPLAN Electric P8.
• Knowledge of PLC-controlled equipment and industrial communication systems.

Responsibilities

• Develop electrical and electromechanical designs based on defined system requirements, machine architecture and project objectives.
• Translate system and subsystem requirements into electrical architectures, schematics, I/O definitions, wiring concepts and technical interfaces.
• Create and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, cable documentation, I/O overviews and related engineering documentation using EPLAN.
• Design electrical cabinets, control panels and electronic racks, including component layout, internal wiring, electrical interfaces and integration requirements.
• Select and specify electrical and electromechanical components such as power supplies, circuit protection devices, relays, contactors, connectors, sensors, actuators, motors, drives, I/O modules and related hardware.
• Develop cable and wiring solutions, including cable specifications, connector selection, pin assignments, routing requirements and interface definitions.
• Define and maintain I/O overviews and electrical interfaces between sensors, actuators, drives, electrical hardware and machine‑control systems.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, mechatronic and system engineers to ensure proper integration of electrical hardware, cabinets, cables, I/O, drives and other electromechanical components into the overall machine design.
• Apply electrical engineering standards, machine safety principles, and support the implementation of safety circuits and safety‑related hardware.
• Perform electrical engineering calculations and technical assessments to support component selection, power distribution, circuit protection and electrical design decisions Create and maintain complete and structured engineering documentation to support design reviews, manufacturing, assembly, testing, installation and service.
• Participate in design reviews, risk assessments and structured technical problem‑solving activities throughout the development lifecycle.
• Support electrical system integration, testing, debugging, commissioning, verification and qualification activities.
• Troubleshoot electrical and electromechanical issues during development, machine integration and production ramp‑up, working closely with manufacturing and assembly teams.
• Release electrical designs and related engineering documentation for production and contribute to the standardization, reuse and continuous improvement of electrical architectures, EPLAN libraries, component selections and engineering methods.
