Electrical Engineer

Job Title:

Electrical Engineer

Job Description

This role focuses on designing, integrating, and supporting software-driven electrical systems within a small, highly collaborative engineering team. You will define electrical architectures, develop application-level software that interfaces with control systems, and contribute to full machine design and verification. This position offers the opportunity to wear many hats, learn across disciplines, and make a direct impact in a company that has successfully developed an FDA-approved product.

Responsibilities

+ Design and develop electrical systems, including wiring architectures and component specifications, for complex machines and equipment.

+ Create, update, and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and system documentation to ensure accurate and current records.

+ Develop, maintain, and troubleshoot application-level software that interfaces with electrical and control systems, with a focus on Basic-based programming.

+ Investigate and resolve system-level issues that span electrical wiring, hardware components, and software behavior to ensure reliable operation.

+ Contribute electrical expertise within multidisciplinary engineering teams during full machine design and verification activities.

+ Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers to ensure seamless alignment between electrical architecture and mechanical functionality.

+ Assemble and integrate electrical and mechanical components into complete systems, ensuring proper fit, function, and safety.

+ Support system testing and verification, including functional tests, diagnostics, and performance validation of electrical and software-driven systems.

+ Participate in commissioning activities, ensuring that systems operate as intended in real-world conditions.

+ Support field deployments by assisting with installation, troubleshooting, and optimization of electrical and control systems at customer or operational sites.

+ Apply relevant NEC, IEC, or UL requirements when designing and validating electrical systems to support compliance and safety.

+ Communicate effectively with cross-functional team members to identify issues, propose solutions, and drive continuous improvement in system performance.

Essential Skills

+ Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.

+ At least 3 years of experience in electrical system design and software-driven systems.

+ Strong experience with electrical wiring design and the creation and interpretation of electrical schematics.

+ Proficiency with Basic-based programming for application-level software that interfaces with electrical and control systems.

+ Hands-on experience with software debugging, diagnostics, and system integration in an engineering or production environment.

+ Hands-on experience with building, assembling, and testing electrical systems and components.

+ Ability to investigate and resolve system-level issues involving electrical wiring, hardware, and software behavior.

+ Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to analyze complex technical issues and implement effective solutions.

+ Effective cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with mechanical, software, and other engineering disciplines.

+ Working knowledge of NEC, IEC, or UL requirements relevant to electrical system design and safety.

Additional

Skills & Qualifications

+ Experience contributing electrical expertise within multidisciplinary engineering teams on full machine design and verification projects.

+ Background in integrating electrical and mechanical components into cohesive systems.

+ Interest in working in a small company environment where team members often wear multiple hats and contribute across disciplines.

+ Motivation to learn new technologies, tools, and processes in both electrical engineering and software development.

+ Familiarity with compliance and safety considerations in regulated environments, such as those involving FDA-approved products.

+ Ability to support system testing, commissioning, and field deployments, including occasional hands-on work at customer or operational sites.
