Electrical Engineer

The electrical engineer is responsible for the electrical system design, component selection as well as wiring design and documentation. The role requires the interpretation of requirements, engineering, review and validation of the design.

The electrical engineer will work closly with the mechanical and software teams to ensure a cohesive and integration solution is created.

Key Responsibilities

• Electrical & Panel Design: Produce control panel schematics, single-line diagrams, I/O lists, BOMs, cable schedules, and termination drawings. Select PLCs, safety relays, power supplies, contactors, and sensors based on load, safety, and operational conditions.
• PLC & HMI Development: Program and commission PLC/HMI sequences, interlocks, alarms, manual modes, and automated equipment handshakes (Modbus TCP/RTU, Profinet, EtherNet/IP, digital I/O).
• Safety Circuit Engineering: Design and validate emergency-stop chains, interlocks, reset logic, and safe-state behavior according to risk assessment standards.
• Subcontractor & Panel Oversight: Manage panel builders and electrical contractors; conduct loop checks, insulation/continuity testing, and redline reviews before site handover.
• Site Commissioning & Troubleshooting: Lead field I/O checkout and isolate intermittent power, grounding, sensor, or industrial communication faults.

Qualifications & Core Competencies

• Education: Degree or Diploma in Electrical, Electronic, Mechatronics, Controls, or Automation Engineering.
• Experience: 5+ years in industrial electrical design, machinery, PLC controls, or automation commissioning.
• PLC Platforms: Hands-on experience with at least one major ecosystem (Siemens, Omron, Beckhoff, Schneider, Rockwell, Mitsubishi, or Codesys).
• CAD Tools: Familiarity with electrical drafting software (EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, or equivalent).
