This role involves designing electrical power and controls subsystems to meet design, safety, and regulatory requirements, then taking them from prototyping to manufacturing.  The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on engineering capability with effective technical leadership and clear communication.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary Electrical Engineer for new press module design projects, partnering with Mechanical Engineers and Industrial Controls Engineers.  Make design decisions, recommend and specify component selection, and create bills of materials.
• Participate in design reviews, sharing key decisions, challenges, and learnings.
• Create comprehensive schematic and assembly design drawings in AutoCAD and related documentation to enable manufacturing and troubleshooting of electrical cabinets, custom cables, and related subassemblies.
• Release and manage design drawings and documentation.
• Drive prototyping of designs, perform validation testing, and make changes based on learnings.  Design and perform tests to qualify and characterize key components, both off-the-shelf and internally-designed.
• Design and lead the assembly of functional test equipment to assist our manufacturers in validating press modules.
• Address component end-of-life and assurance-of-supply issues by selecting and qualifying alternate components, and following change management processes to implement design changes.
• Provide R&D support for manufacturing and field issues.
• Develop deep expertise in PWI’s image pipeline electronics, signal flow, and overall press architecture.

In addition, the broad responsibilities of our R&D electrical architecture team provide opportunities to develop or apply skills in other areas such as PCB design and diagnostics code development.

Education & Experience Recommended

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, ECE, or related subject.
• Minimum 3-5 years of experience developing industrial machinery or similar designs from concept to production.
• Demonstrated track record of taking designs from concept through prototyping to manufacturing.

Preferred Certifications
NA

Knowledge & Skills

• 2D CAD software such as AutoCAD or AutoCAD Electrical.
• Voltage, current, and power measurements using a DMM and clamp-on current probes.
• Signal measurements using an oscilloscope.
• Balanced three-phase power design.

Helpful Additional Experience

• 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks or Creo Elements.
• Power measurements and analysis using a power quality meter.
• Familiarity with Python or other scripting/programming language.
• Overcurrent protection circuit design and coordination.
• Industrial controls design and code development, including PLCs (programmable logic controllers) and motor controllers.
• Familiarity with NFPA 79 (Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery).
• Familiarity with motors and controllers, including VFDs (variable frequency drives).
• Machine grounding principles.
• Familiarity with EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) principles and best practices as they apply to industrial machinery.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on design, lab validation, manufacturing partnership, and real-world system ownership.
