About the role
We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Electrical Design Engineer with expertise in industrial automation, control panel design, and generator set (GenSet) operations. In this role, you will be responsible for creating production-ready electrical schematics, selecting control hardware, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver integrated automation solutions. The ideal candidate possesses deep, hands-on experience with EPLAN Electric P8, a strong understanding of programmable logic controller (PLC) configurations, and the ability to troubleshoot hardware in both factory and field environments.
Responsibilities- Schematic Creation: Design comprehensive Single Line Diagrams (SLDs), schematic layouts, and control panel internal/external General Arrangement (GA) drawings and structural panel fabrication drafts.
- Harness Design: Prepare production-ready Engine Wiring Harness drawings.
- Component Sizing & Selection: Evaluate, size, and select critical electrical hardware including PLCs, low-voltage switchgear, circuit breakers, relays, HMIs, sensors, and actuators.
- Data & Bill of Materials (BOM): Generate structured project documentation and accurate BOMs within the company's ERP system.
- I/O & Signal Architecture: Architect power distribution circuits and configure PLC signal schemes across Digital Input (DI), Digital Output (DO), Analog Input (AI), and Analog Output (AO) networks.
- GenSet & Logic Knowledge: Apply domain-specific expertise in GenSet operations to help guide PLC architecture and logic development workflows.
- Industrial Networking: Integrate and configure industrial fieldbus protocols, including Ethernet, CAN bus, and Serial Communication
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner actively with software developers, mechanical layout teams, and assembly technicians to ensure seamless physical and logical control systems integration.
- Field Support: Provide timely technical assistance during system installation, site commissioning, and testing phases.
- Root-Cause Analysis (RCA): Perform precise diagnostics and root-cause analysis on hardware failures or electrical faults to quickly deploy engineering fixes.
- Mobility: Maintain a willingness to travel to customer facilities or project sites as business needs dictate.
- Innovation & R&D: Research emerging automation technologies, design methodologies, and advanced electrical components to enhance system performance.
- Value Engineering: Identify opportunities to optimize existing drawing libraries, standardize panel variants, and implement cost-reduction improvements without sacrificing reliability.
- EPLAN P8: Advanced, hands-on engineering proficiency is mandatory (building macro-projects, page navigators, and parts management).
- AutoCAD Electrical: Working knowledge and drafting experience using standard AutoCAD setups.
- ERP Literacy: Familiarity working inside enterprise resource tools for component lifecycle and procurement tracking.
- Primary Internal Interactions: Primary External Interactions: Design Manger Other Cross functional team (SCM, Testing, Manufacturing plant)
- Degree: Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Instrumentation & Control, or a related technical discipline.
- Industry Focus: Proven background working with system integrators, panel builders, heavy machinery manufacturers, or power generation firms.
- Work Experience:
- 3+ years of experience in control hardware design for industrial automation or similar industries.
