Job Summary

Hands‑on Electrical Engineer responsible for designing electrical and control panels used in liquid cooling system products with both high and low voltages. Works with a small team of mechanical, refrigeration and manufacturing engineers throughout the full product development process, from early concept through production support. Responsible for electrical component selection, schematic and wire run list creation, control solution design (functional control logic and PID control loops for temperature, flow and pressure) and PCBA / PLC control firmware.

May develop firmware directly or collaborate with a separate software engineer. Will test and debug system under development and ensure the product’s electrical hardware and firmware meet functional and performance requirements, delivering on schedule and on budget.

• Control System Design & Integration: develop control system architectures; design and implement control algorithms to dynamically adjust cooling capacity based on real‑time data; integrate sensors, controllers, actuators to monitor and control cooling systems; create and update electrical schematics and control diagrams.
• Programming & Commissioning: program and configure controllers; develop HMI interfaces tailored to system cooling operations; commission, test, and validate control systems; troubleshoot and resolve control system issues.
• Collaboration & Project Management: work closely with cross‑functional teams; participate in design reviews, providing technical insights on cooling control challenges and opportunities; assist planning, scheduling and budgeting for data center cooling projects and retrofits.
• Documentation & Support: develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for control system designs and programming changes; provide ongoing support and troubleshooting for production cooling systems; develop and execute verification test plans.
• Compliance & Safety: ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and safety regulations (e.g., UL/CE guidelines).

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electro‑Mechanical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degrees or certifications (e.g., HVAC, refrigeration) a plus.
• Experience: 5+ years designing, programming, and maintaining control systems; 3+ years hands‑on PLC programming, HMI development, and integration of sensor networks; experience with communication protocols (RS‑232, RS‑485, Ethernet, SNMP, REST APIs).
• Skills &
  
  Competencies:
  
  Strong understanding of control systems, automation, and cooling fundamentals; proficiency in creating and interpreting electrical schematics and control logic diagrams; excellent analytical, troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills; effective communication skills; working knowledge of engineering tools (PLM software, MRP software, mixed‑signal oscilloscopes, DVMs).

Base compensation: 125k–160k, bonus eligible.
