Senior Electrical Engineer

About the company Our client is a robotics and automation company. The role Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the electrical side of heavy-duty machinery, covering design, documentation, physical build and debugging. You will help the engineering group move from individual prototype units toward a repeatable production process, collaborating with technicians and colleagues from other disciplines. What you'll do

• Diagnose, integrate and scale the electrical systems of large machines, from power and motion components to sensing, control and cabling.
• Produce and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, harness designs and supporting documentation that set shared standards for later builds.
• Spend time on the shop floor handling cable routing, installation, system bring-up, testing and fault resolution with technicians and fellow engineers.
• Rework electrical subsystems as needs change, using field learnings to make designs sturdier and simpler to build in volume.
• Help the organization shift from prototype units to repeatable production as manufacturing capacity grows.
• Work side by side with mechanical, software, manufacturing and hardware colleagues so the electrical design fits the complete machine.
