At Goddard, our most important asset is our people. We don't just work together; we thrive together. We foster a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and mutual support. We believe in taking exceptionally good care of each other because great teams build great solutions. If you are someone who embodies the values of accountability, inspiration, dedication, efficiency, innovation, integrity, quality, and reliability, we want you on our team. Come be a part of a workplace where your ideas are valued, your growth is encouraged, and your contributions make a real impact. Join us in shaping the future of transformative technology – together.
- Design industrial control and power panels end-to-end: schematics, one-line diagrams, panel layouts, wire run lists, BOMs, and assembly drawings for machine control, junction boxes, and test fixtures.
- Select and size electrical components: circuit breakers, contactors, transformers, terminal blocks, power supplies, drives, switches, cabinet assemblies, and associated 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 against project requirements and applicable standards.
- Read, interpret, and debug schematics and control system architectures end-to-end — from sensors and signal conditioning through motor drives, controllers, PLCs, and HMIs.
- 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) appropriate to the program, including panel safety considerations such as SCCR, arc flash, and LOTO.
- Provide engineering support to panel vendors, the manufacturing floor, and internal stakeholders across sales, service, and purchasing.
- Document designs accurately for field service and customer support; use ECO (Engineering Change Order) workflows within PLM systems to manage design updates.
- Work semi-independently, take on new challenges, and assist senior engineers in problem identification, root-cause analysis, and structured troubleshooting.
- Communicate technical risks, challenges, and status clearly to internal team members, management, and customers.
- Help shape the culture and technical practices of Goddard's electrical engineering team.
- Travel as needed (valid driver's license and vehicle required).
- BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with 3–5 years of relevant industry experience.
- Low-voltage control systems and power systems up to 480 VAC.
- Test fixture design and hardware test engineering — instrumentation, data acquisition, automated test setup, and characterization.
- Motors and controls: servo/stepper/BLDC drives, encoders, motion controllers, and closed-loop tuning.
- Sensor integration and signal conditioning across analog and digital signals.
- PLC and HMI programming with Siemens, Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, or equivalent platforms (safety PLCs a plus), and industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, CANopen, IIoT / Industry 4.0).
- Electrical design and documentation software: EPLAN Electric P8, AutoCAD Electrical, or SolidWorks Electrical.
- Schematic capture and PCB design (Altium Designer, KiCAD) for custom electronics, including power supplies and signal conditioning.
- Panel safety considerations: SCCR, arc flash, LOTO, and design to global standards (NFPA 79, NEC, IEC/EN 60204-1, ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1, UL 508A, CE, TÜV). UL 508A MTR a plus.
- Embedded systems and firmware development in C/C++ for support of custom electronics.
- Scripting and test automation in Python, LabVIEW, or MATLAB.
- Familiarity with ECO / PLM workflows for design change management.
Benefit from our generous flexible time off policy. We also provide sick leave and bereavement time because we understand that not all time off is for fun.
