About The Position

Hadrian is seeking an Electrical Engineer for its Special Projects division, focusing on machine build, panel layouts, and industrial systems. The role involves owning the electrical design and build of robotic machining cells, including control panel layout and build, machine wiring and harnesses, drive systems, safety circuits, and cell-level industrial power distribution. The engineer will be responsible for installation and commissioning on the floor, not just design. This is an industrial/machine-build role, not board-level/PCB design. The engineer will collaborate with mechanical, controls, and operations engineers to bring cells from concept to production and establish electrical standards for the automation team.

Requirements

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on + credentials.
• 3+ years designing and commissioning industrial control panels for automated machinery.
• Fluent in EPLAN Electric P8 or AutoCAD Electrical (SolidWorks Electrical considered).
• Experience with at least one of Rockwell / Siemens / Beckhoff / Yaskawa VFD and servo drives.
• Working knowledge of NFPA 79, UL 508A, IEC 60204-1, NFPA 70E, and ISO 13849 / IEC 62061 safety-function design.
• Proven experience wiring and commissioning panels on the floor — not just drawing them.
• Comfortable reading scope / clamp-meter traces and debugging drives, ground loops, and power quality.

Nice To Haves

• Licensed PE (Electrical) or on the PE track.
• Led an arc-flash study end-to-end in SKM or EasyPower.
• Built or maintained a company-wide electrical standards / panel library.
• Industrial networks experience at the physical layer — EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, IO-Link.
• High-energy / high-current experience (battery, welding, induction, or similar).
• Experience supporting a greenfield factory power distribution build-out.

Responsibilities

• Design control panels and machine harnesses for robotic machining cells to NFPA 79, UL 508A, and IEC 60204-1.
• Specify and integrate VFDs, servo drives, safety-rated relays / controllers, E-stops, light curtains, and interlocks.
• Design and document 480 V / 208 V / 120 V AC distribution and 24 V DC logic, including transformer / disconnect / UPS sizing.
• Run arc-flash analysis and NFPA 70E labeling for every cell.
• Commission panels and harnesses on the floor — megger, hipot, continuity, insulation, LOTO walkdowns.
• Codify electrical standards — labeling, wire colors, fuse strategies, grounding — into a reusable library.
• Be the on-call electrical owner when a cell goes down; chase drives, power quality, grounding, and harnesses to root cause.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plans for employees
• 401k
• Relocation support may be provided for certain situations, based on business need.
• Flexible vacation policy
