Responsibilities

Design electrical control systems for new machinery, system upgrades, and retrofit projects, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Develop comprehensive electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, I/O drawings, panel layouts, and bills of material for industrial control systems.
Create and maintain accurate electrical documentation using SolidWorks Electrical, updating designs and records throughout the project lifecycle.
Maintain precise engineering documentation and incorporate design revisions as requirements, standards, or conditions change.
Select and specify PLCs, safety controllers, HMIs, VFDs, relays, contactors, power supplies, circuit protection devices, sensors, actuators, and other control components appropriate for each application.
Develop control-panel designs and support panel fabrication, inspection, and testing to verify proper assembly and functionality.
Program, modify, test, and troubleshoot industrial PLC systems to implement machine-control and process-control functions.
Develop machine sequences, interlocks, permissives, alarms, diagnostics, and process-control logic to ensure efficient and safe operation.
Program and modify HMI applications, including operator interfaces, alarms, and diagnostic screens, to support clear and effective machine operation.
Interface new control systems with existing OEM machinery and controls, ensuring compatibility and seamless integration.
Evaluate existing equipment when electrical documentation is incomplete, outdated, or unavailable, and create or update documentation as needed.
Develop and troubleshoot PLC programs for industrial automation and machine-control applications, resolving issues in logic and I/O.
Troubleshoot PLC I/O, remote I/O, industrial networks, VFDs, sensors, actuators, and other control-system components to restore and optimize system performance.
Use electrical schematics, PLC diagnostics, and appropriate test equipment to identify and correct electrical and control-system problems.
