  • Develop, program, debug, and integrate PLC sequences, I/O, and motion control for lab setups, prototypes, and production machines.
  • Design electrical cabinets, cabling, and system connectivity, including component selection, cable routing, and integration.
  • Perform hands-on electrical integration, testing, troubleshooting, and modifications of machines and R&D platforms.
  • Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams throughout the development lifecycle.
  • Support the transfer of new designs from R&D to production and provide ongoing engineering support for prototypes and medium-volume production machines.
  • Manage and work closely with subcontractors, electrical cabinet manufacturers, and suppliers.

 

What you bring

  • B.Sc. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
  • 7+ years of electrical engineering experience, with a strong background in the design and development of multidisciplinary machinery.
  • Proven experience leading end-to-end electrical engineering activities in a multidisciplinary environment.
  • Strong hands-on experience with PLC programming, I/O, and motion control.
  • Experience in electrical cabinet and cable design, including proficiency with relevant electrical CAD tools.
  • Strong knowledge of industrial electrical systems, wiring practices, and standards.
  • Demonstrated integration experience, from early prototypes through product release.
