Specific Job Tasks

• Apply your electrical engineering knowledge to hands-on projects that connect digital tools, circuit analysis, and controller testing.
• Working alongside experienced engineers, you may contribute to projects such as:
  IoT commissioning tool optimization. Help improve the tools used to configure, connect, and verify IoT-enabled elevator equipment. Explore commissioning workflows, troubleshoot connectivity and configuration issues, and evaluate opportunities to simplify setup.
• Build practical skills in electrical system integration, data analysis, and user-focused problem solving while helping make commissioning more efficient and repeatable.
• Design fusing simulation. Support simulation-based evaluation of fuse selection and electrical circuit protection. Investigate how operating loads, startup currents, and fault conditions affect fuse behavior, and compare results with component specifications under engineering guidance. Connect classroom circuit theory with real design decisions by documenting findings and identifying options for further engineering review.
• New Controller test simulator. Help develop and refine a test simulator for a new elevator controller. Contribute to simulated inputs and outputs, create test scenarios for normal operation and fault conditions, and support troubleshooting of controller responses in a controlled test environment. Gain experience with control systems, hardware-software interfaces, and repeatable testing while documenting results for the engineering team.
