Job description

Role: Electrical Engineer

Location: Santa Clara, CA

Duration: 6 months contract

Job Requirements

We are seeking three experienced Electrical Engineers at our Santa Clara, CA facility. In this role, you will support custom engineered-to-order (ETO) bioprocess and automated industrial equipment projects from early design phases through manufacturing, system integration, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT). You will work closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver manufacturing‑ready design packages and provide hands‑on engineering support on the shop floor.

Primary Job Function:

Design & Documentation:

Develop and modify electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, power distribution systems, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) based on customer specifications and project requirements.

Component Selection:

Specify industrial electrical components, instrumentation, safety devices, and control hardware compliant with internal standards and regulatory requirements.

Manufacturing Support:

Provide real‑time engineering support to Manufacturing during equipment assembly and wiring; troubleshoot electrical design, power, and control issues on the floor.

Design Reviews & ECOs:

Lead and participate in technical design reviews, resolve action items, and process controlled engineering changes and drawing revisions within a PLM environment.

Integration & FAT:

Support system integration, commissioning, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) execution alongside Controls and Quality teams.

As-Built Releases: Complete and release final "as-built" electrical documentation packages post-testing.

Work Experience

Demonstrated ability to create clear electrical schematics, control panel layouts, and BOMs using industrial standard CAD platforms (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN).

Strong working knowledge of industrial control panels, 3-phase power distribution, low‑voltage control circuits, and field instrumentation.

Hands‑on experience troubleshooting industrial electrical systems during equipment assembly and testing.

Experience working within formal PLM/PDM environments and controlled Engineering Change Order (ECO) workflows.

Soft Skills: Excellent cross‑functional communication skills; ability to collaborate effectively with Mechanical, Controls, Manufacturing, Quality, and Project Management teams.

Qualifications/Experience/Education Requirements

Basic Qualifications:

Education: B.S. in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or equivalent professional experience.

Experience: 3-7 years of experience in electrical design for industrial automation, custom machinery, process equipment, or engineered‑to‑order (ETO) systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

Prior experience with biopharmaceutical process equipment, single‑use systems (SUS), or process skid design.

Familiarity with regulated manufacturing environments and industrial panel standards (e.g., UL 508A, NFPA 79, CE/IEC).
