About The Position

Hands-on Electrical Engineer responsible for designing electrical and control panels used in liquid cooling system products with both high and low voltages. This person would work with a small team of mechanical, refrigeration and manufacturing engineers to bring the new product through its full product development process, which includes early concept through production support. The candidate would be responsible for electrical component selection, schematic and wire run list creation, designing control solutions (functional control logic and PID control loops for temperature, flow and pressure) and PCBA / PLC control firmware. This position would either develop the firmware directly or work with a separate software engineer on the development. The person would work with the full engineering team for testing and debugging of the system under development. The Electrical Engineer will be responsible for ensuring the product's electrical hardware and firmware meets the functional and performance requirements, while working with the team to deliver on schedule and on budget.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electro-Mechanical Engineering, Control Systems Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in designing, programming, and maintaining control systems
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with PLC programming, HMI development, and integration of sensor networks
• Working experience with communications protocols, i.e. RS-232, RS-485, ethernet, SNMP, rest API, etc.
• Strong understanding of control systems, automation, and cooling fundamentals (thermal management, airflow, and load balancing)
• Proficient in creating and interpreting electrical schematics and control logic diagrams
• Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills
• Effective communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams
• Working knowledge of engineering tools: PLM software, MRP software (Oracle cloud a plus)

Responsibilities

• Develop control system architectures
• Design and implement control algorithms to dynamically adjust cooling capacity based on real-time data (e.g., temperature, humidity, load)
• Integrate sensors, controllers, and actuators to monitor and control cooling systems
• Create and update electrical schematics and control diagrams for cooling systems
• Program and configure controllers and develop HMI interfaces tailored to system cooling operations
• Commission, test, and validate control systems, ensuring smooth startup and reliable performance
• Troubleshoot and resolve control system issues
• Work closely with teams to ensure cooling solutions meet performance requirements
• Participate in cross-functional design reviews, providing technical insights on cooling control challenges and opportunities
• Assist in planning, scheduling, and budgeting for data center cooling projects and retrofits
• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation for control system designs and programming changes
• Provide ongoing support and troubleshooting for production cooling systems
• Develop and execute verification test plans
• Ensure that all cooling control systems comply with relevant industry standards and safety regulations (e.g., UL/CE guidelines)

Benefits

• Equal opportunity employer
• Commitment to creating an inclusive environment for all employees
• Focus on continuous learning and professional development in cooling and automation technologies
