Job Summary:

We are seeking a talented and detail-oriented Electrical Design Engineer with strong expertise in designing electrical systems for manufacturing machines. The ideal candidate should be proficient in AutoCAD Electrical (E_CAD 2024) and EPLAN, possess strong knowledge of electrical components, servo motors, drives, PLC I/O modules, sensors, motion devices, and be capable of producing complete and accurate Bill of Materials (BOMs), Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), and other essential electrical design documentation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts using AutoCAD Electrical (E_CAD 2024) and EPLAN.
• Prepare detailed Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), control wiring diagrams, and cable schedules.
• Select appropriate electrical components such as circuit breakers, relays, sensors, actuators, servo motors, drives, and motion control devices based on application requirements.
• Design and document PLC I/O modules wiring for machine controls.
• Generate complete and detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) for procurement and manufacturing.
• Ensure all designs comply with applicable standards (IEC, NEC, UL, CE) and machine safety regulations.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical designers, controls engineers, and manufacturing teams for integrated design and execution.
• Support prototype assembly and troubleshoot electrical systems during build and commissioning phases.
• Continuously review and optimize electrical designs for performance improvement and cost efficiency.
• Maintain thorough electrical documentation, design revisions, and implement change management processes.
• Participate actively in design reviews and contribute to project planning and execution with technical insights.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 48 years of hands-on experience in electrical design for manufacturing equipment, Special Purpose Machine (SPM) or industrial machinery.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Electrical (Preferably E_CAD 2024) and EPLAN for electrical schematic design.
• Strong knowledge in selection and application of electrical components (e.g., contactors, relays, sensors, drives, servo motors).
• Sound understanding of sensors (proximity, photoelectric, vision sensors) and motion control devices (servo motors, Drives).
• Experience in creating BOMs, SLDs, control panel layouts, machine cabling, wire duct design, and detailed wiring schematics.
• Familiarity with industry standards and practices such as IEC, NEC, UL, and safety regulations.
• Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and a structured, methodical approach to design work.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in PLC/Automation system integration including basic knowledge of PLC wiring, I/O module configuration, and troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of designing machine safety systems (Emergency Stops, Safety Relays, Light Curtains, etc.).
• Exposure to 3D electrical design tools such as SolidWorks Electrical is an advantage.
• Exposure or understanding of Mechanical Design and Drawings.
• Basic understanding of project management principles and working within structured project environments.
