• Design custom system packages, including cabinets/enclosures that integrate breakers, relays, VFDs, PLCs, and supporting components.
• Ensure designs meet electrical, safety, and protection requirements (voltage rating, current rating, air gap parameters, etc.).
PLC, Automation & Software
• Create PLC programs from scratch across multiple platforms (brand-agnostic).
• Develop HMI/SCADA solutions and work with major communication protocols:
o Ethernet/IP, Modbus, Profibus, Ignition, Wonderware, Rockwell, Siemens, etc.
• Participate in new product design, modifications, and integration with sales, marketing, and manufacturing.
Motor Control & VFD Integration
• Select, program, integrate, and tune VFDs for motors from 5 HP up to 7,500+ HP.
• Support motor control applications ranging from simple control loops to highly automated systems.
Power Distribution & Medium Voltage
• Design and integrate components for medium voltage power electronics (1kV–15kV+).
• Support power distribution solutions for data centers, microgrids, and power stations.
Testing, Commissioning & Support
• Support factory testing and occasional commissioning/startup (<25% travel).
• Provide technical support internally (sales, field service) and externally (post-sale engineering questions).
• Assist in the transition from design to manufacturing, including training and prototype testing.
• Review, clarify, and validate deliverables for internal and external stakeholders.
Documentation & Communication
• Create and review technical documents including schematics, P&IDs, point-to-point diagrams, performance curves, shop assembly instructions, and O&M manuals.
• Communicate solutions clearly to engineering teams, customers, and cross-functional partners.
