Electrical & Controls Design Hardware Engineer, One MHS - Electrical and Control Engineering, Architecture and Design
We are seeking an experienced and highly motivated Electrical & Controls Engineer to serve as a technical contributor for electrical power systems and controls engineering within One MHS (One Material Handling Systems). This role will be responsible for the complete design, development, and implementation of electrical power distribution and control systems for material handling projects, focusing on safety, scalability, and operational excellence.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in electrical power system design, controls engineering, industrial communication protocols, and automation platforms for complex material handling systems including conveyance and sortation. You will work closely with cross-functional teams - including mechanical engineering, software, and project management to deliver robust electrical and controls solutions while ensuring compliance with NEC code and industry standards.
Key Responsibilities Power Systems Design & Distribution- Design all power and controls systems related to MH projects, including 3-phase and single-phase power distribution systems.
- Develop electrical layouts, schematics, control architectures, and panel standardization for material handling applications.
- Design modular and scalable power distribution systems that prioritize reliability, maintainability, and performance.
- Establish best practices for panel placement, grounding, and safety circuit design.
- Develop single-line diagrams, power distribution schematics, and panel schedules to support facility and equipment power needs.
- Design and implement industrial communication networks utilizing Ether
CAT, Ethernet/IP, and PROFINET protocols. - Develop control system architectures incorporating Industrial PCs, PLCs, and SCADA systems.
- Specify, configure, and integrate Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and their associated interfaces.
- Select, specify, and integrate sensors, encoders, safety circuits, and all safety devices in accordance with applicable safety standards.
- Design and implement safety systems including light curtains, safety relays, E-stops, and safety PLCs.
- Conduct in-field installation audits to verify compliance with design specifications, quality standards, and NEC code requirements.
- Review and approve electrical and controls drawings, specifications, and submittals.
- Audit electrical system designs to identify opportunities and develop superior solutions.
- Ensure all designs and installations comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) / NFPA 70 and other applicable standards.
- Stay current with NEC code revisions, NFPA updates, and industry regulatory changes.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams - including mechanical, software, and project management to deliver fully integrated solutions.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior electrical and controls engineers.
- Support commissioning, troubleshooting, and startup activities as needed.
- Develop and maintain electrical and controls design standards and best practices.
- Support development of electrical implementation documentation and ensure effective knowledge transfer.
A day in the life: design power distribution systems and control architectures while specifying VFDs, sensors, encoders, and safety devices. Implement industrial communication networks, conduct in-field audits, and mentor junior engineers while driving continuous improvement in design standards and documentation processes across the OneMHS program.
Basic Qualifications- Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
- 4+ years of experience in electrical and controls design for industrial or material handling systems.
- Deep understanding of Ether
CAT, Ethernet/IP, and PROFINET communication protocols. - Strong knowledge of VFD selection, programming, and interface design.
