Engineering Technician Level 1
The Engineering Technician reports to the Test Engineering Team Lead onsite at Rockwell Automations Headquarters in Milwaukee, WI. You will work directly hands-on in an electrical test lab, building and configuring MCC and switch gear test samples. You will implement UL and IEC compliance testing in high-current environments. You will strictly observe electrical safety and LOTO requirements while doing so. The role includes precise documentation of test setups and results, close collaboration with development and high-current lab engineers, and maintaining a 5S-driven, safe, and organized lab environment to support reliable test execution.
Build and configure Motor Control Centers (MCCs) and switch gear test samples according to engineering drawings and specifications. Assemble electrical and mechanical components to support standardized and custom test configurations. Prepare test setups for high-current, high-power electrical testing. Conduct electrical tests following applicable standards, including: UL 845 UL 891 IEC 61439-1 IEC 61439-2. Complete common electrical tests such as: short circuit testing, arc flash testing, temperature rise testing, dielectric (hi-pot) testing.
Support safe operation of equipment in high-current laboratory environments. Document test procedures, setups, results, and observations. Capture test data, anomalies, and deviations in formal test records. Support traceability and compliance documentation requirements. Follow all electrical safety, LOTO, and laboratory safety procedures. Maintain a clean, organized, and audit-ready workspace. Apply 5S principles to lab organization and test areas. Support a culture of safety in high-energy test environments.
Work with development engineers to support design verification activities. Partner with high-current lab engineers during complex or hazardous testing. Provide hands-on technical support during failure investigation and root cause analysis. Communicate test status, issues, and findings.
The essentials - you will have: hands-on experience with electrical and mechanical assembly, power and control wiring, test instrumentation and lab equipment. Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and mechanical drawings. Mechanical aptitude and hands-on troubleshooting skills. Demonstrated understanding of electrical safety practices, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, safe work practices for high-energy systems.
