• Sensor integration and signal conditioning across analog and digital signals.
• PLC and HMI programming with Siemens, Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, or equivalent platforms; industrial communication protocols included.

Responsibilities

• Design industrial control and power panels end-to-end: schematics, one-line diagrams, panel layouts, wire run lists, BOMs, and assembly drawings.
• Select and size electrical components: circuit breakers, contactors, transformers, terminal blocks, power supplies, drives, switches, cabinet assemblies, and wiring.
• Design custom harnessing and interconnection cabling for integrated systems.
• Develop test plans, test fixtures, and test procedures to validate hardware performance, safety, and compliance.
• Read, interpret, and debug schematics and control system architectures end-to-end.
• Configure, test, and debug PLC and HMI software, including network communications for SCADA where applicable.
• Contribute to compliance and risk activities (NFPA 79, NEC, IEC/EN 60204-1, ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1, UL 508A, CE, TÜV).
• Provide engineering support to panel vendors, the manufacturing floor, and internal stakeholders.
