Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support electrical engineering efforts for water treatment and electrochemical process equipment, including PLC-controlled skid systems.
• Design electrical systems utilizing industrial AC and moderate-voltage DC components.
• Prepare electrical drawings, specifications, documentation, and materials required for commercialization of new equipment systems.
• Participate in client meetings to understand technical requirements and project objectives.
• Contribute to proposal development, pricing strategies, cost estimating for electrical components, and budgeting.
• Perform detailed electrical system and component design, review design drawings, and ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
• Design and specify system instrumentation, PLCs, and control systems.
• Support fabrication, installation, commissioning, and troubleshooting activities, including periodic shop-floor assistance.
• Develop operating manuals, procedures, and technical documentation.
• Collaborate across disciplines, including instrumentation, environmental compliance, process engineering, and mechanical engineering.
• Provide project management support as needed, balancing technical and client requirements.
• Attend trade shows, technical meetings, and industry conferences as required.
• Support domestic projects primarily within the U.S.; occasional international travel may be required (typically less than 25%).

Required Qualifications
