Design, build, wire, and check out control systems for test assets, working from schematics and BOMs through fabrication and documentation.

Troubleshoot electrical and controls issues on test assets and prototype hardware, finding root causes with scopes, meters, and data logs and implementing fixes.

Bring up and commission new test assets in the lab, including point-to-point checkout, sensor and instrument verification, and functional testing of safety interlocks.

Plan and run system-level tests: write test procedures, collect and review data, and report results and issues to the team.

Program and modify PLC and HMI logic for test assets with guidance from senior engineers, and keep eCAD schematics, BOMs, and cable/harness documentation current.

Partner with mechanical, systems, and test engineers and technicians on tight timelines, and champion lab and electrical safety when introducing new processes, prototype hardware, or test methods.

What you'll bring:

Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; Bachelor's with 1+ years experience in control panel design, PLC programming, or test/automation equipment, or Master's with research or professional engineering experience.

Experience with PLC programming (e.g., Beckhoff TwinCAT, Allen-Bradley, or similar) and HMI development, including debugging logic on live hardware.

Ability to read and work from electrical schematics; experience with an eCAD package (AutoCAD Electrical, ePLAN, or SolidWorks Electrical) is a plus.

Hands-on lab skills: panel wiring, troubleshooting with scopes and meters, commissioning hardware, and planning and running system-level tests.

Familiarity with NFPA 70/79 and UL 508A practices for industrial control panels.
