Integrate industrial control components—including sensors, motors, valves, and actuators—for precise process control

•

Engineer medium- and low-voltage power distribution systems, including polyphase configurations

•

Develop and document safety circuits, power/control system designs, and technical specifications

•

Lead complex design projects from concept to validated system, independently managing design, prototyping, testing, and evaluation using sound engineering principles

•

Apply advanced CAD skills to rapidly transform concepts into mechanically sound designs suitable for fabrication, prototyping, and manufacturing

•

Evaluate systems and designs using a variety of data analysis tools (e.g., Excel and other platforms), with the flexibility to adopt new analytical tools as needed

•

Provide analytical assessments of mechanical, pneumatic/hydraulic, thermal and control system designs

•

Design and execute tests to assess system performance, from prototype through full-scale integration

•

Conduct failure mode and effects analyses (FMEA) and root cause analyses (RCA); develop and implement corrective action plans

Hands-On Engineering

•

Assemble, troubleshoot, and test mechanical parts and assemblies as well as power systems

•

Support fieldwork and installations, including occasional outdoor tasks

•

Train technicians on wiring practices, troubleshooting, and system operations

Technical Documentation

•

Write and review installation requirements and system documentation

•

Generate mechanical drawings, wiring schematics, and build packages using OnShape and AutoCAD

Collaboration & Communication

•

Coordinate closely with cross-functional team members on system design and integration

•

Develop and communicate cost estimates for engineering work

•

Follow all safety protocols and help maintain a culture of safe practices

•

Take on additional responsibilities as needed in a dynamic, project-driven environment

The ideal candidate should be able to meet the following requirements:

•

BS in Mechatronics Engineering curriculum or 4 years or more of relevant and documented experience with mechanical engineering and automation engineering.

•

Experience in commercial product development in an engineering environment, and ideally in the chemical processing industry

•

Strong mechanical engineering knowledge and proficiency producing designs with OnShape

•

Experience with provisioning PLCs and creating projects for Allen-Bradley (Rockwell) and Inductive Automation Ignition platforms

•

Strong understanding of industrial sensors, motors, valves and actuators as well as development of PID control loops

•

Experience in writing and debugging ladder logic, structured text, and other ISO 61131-3 languages.

•

Strong knowledge of the NFPA 79 and UL 508A standards and their application

•

Willingness to support all team members and perform any job function when necessary

•

Highly motivated, self-starter with a desire to get tasks done on time and without errors

•

Ability to conduct basic physical requirements of climbing ladders, work at elevated heights, ability to lift 40 lbs., and ability to use basic hand tools
