Job summary

Hadrian, a leader in autonomous manufacturing, seeks an Electrical Engineer to own electrical design and build of robotic machining cells. You’ll focus on control panel layout, wiring, drive systems, safety circuits, and on-floor commissioning rather than board-level design.

You’ll collaborate with mechanical and controls engineers to scale cells from concept to volume, defining electrical standards for the team. This is a hands-on, on-site role in a fast-growing aerospace/defense tech company.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on credentials.
• 3+ years designing and commissioning industrial control panels for automated machinery.
• Fluent in EPLAN Electric P8 or AutoCAD Electrical (SolidWorks Electrical considered).
• Experience with at least one of Rockwell / Siemens / Beckhoff / Yaskawa VFD and servo drives.
• Working knowledge of NFPA 79, UL 508A, IEC 60204-1, NFPA 70E, and ISO 13849 / IEC 62061 safety-function design.
• Proven experience wiring and commissioning panels on the floor — not just drawing them.

Responsibilities

• Design control panels and machine harnesses for robotic machining cells to NFPA 79, UL 508A, and IEC 60204-1.
• Specify and integrate VFDs, servo drives, safety-rated relays / controllers, E-stops, light curtains, and interlocks.
• Design and document 480 V / 208 V / 120 V AC distribution and 24 V DC logic, including transformer / disconnect / UPS sizing.
• Run arc-flash analysis and NFPA 70E labeling for every cell.
• Commission panels and harnesses on the floor — megger, hipot, continuity, insulation, LOTO walkdowns.
• Codify electrical standards — labeling, wire colors, fuse strategies, grounding — into a reusable library.
• Be the on-call electrical owner when a cell goes down; chase drives, power quality, grounding, and harnesses to root cause.
