Designer, Development - Electrical

Participate in new product development as part of a multi-discipline design team. Design the electrical systems that form part of automated machinery. The design team including you are responsible to:

• Understand design requirements taking into account business requirements, customer discussions, internal and industry standards
• Solve technical problems such as resolving conflicting requirements, improving reliability, addressing cost constraints, and other challenges
• Mitigate risks by activities such as failure mode analysis, risk assessment, design adjustments, and validation test planning.
• Complete detailed design of electrical sub-systems including power system sizing, servo equipment sizing, control circuit design, and 3D modelling of electrical equipment and cables on the machine
• Participate in team design reviews as projects progress, and check design documentation before release
• Prepare documentation for manufacturing including bills of materials, assembly drawings, cable fabrication drawings, wire preparation schedules, and work instruction
• Support assembly, test, and installation. Refine designs based on lessons learned
• Work closely with global engineering, manufacturing, and service teams to ensure designs are robust, manufacturable, serviceable, and aligned with customer expectations worldwide.
