Electrical Engineer #ESF5900
About The Position
What you will be doing: Lead the system-level development of electrical monitoring and safety subsystems, from concept through validated prototype and production readiness. Define functional requirements, system architecture, interfaces, thresholds, and failure modes for electrical systems and subsystems. Develop and maintain system documentation, including functional block diagrams, interface definitions, and installation schematics. Own test planning and validation, including defining test requirements, coordinating supplier-executed testing, reviewing results, and authoring test reports. Support third-party certification efforts and compliance activities in accordance with ASME A17.1, ASME A17.5, and applicable electrical codes and standards. Serve as the primary technical interface with suppliers and manufacturing partners, ensuring solutions are technically sound, cost-effective, and manufacturable. Support day-to-day engineering needs related to traction machines, belt-driven systems, motors, and VFD-based equipment. Participate in technical risk assessment activities, including patent awareness, cost evaluation, and supplier capability reviews.
Requirements
