Electrical Engineering Project Tech

About the position

This role involves working independently or collaboratively with engineers and designers to develop and implement design solutions. The candidate will learn about proprietary Electronic Cross Linking (ECL) equipment, including high voltage power supplies, accelerators, and supporting equipment as well as design and test improvements to equipment, and lead safety risk assessments. The candidate will be responsible for project execution including ECL equipment assembly, checkout and start-up of control systems. The individual will provide global troubleshooting support. The candidate will also manage project documentation, direct contractors, and maintain communication with project engineers and managers.

Responsibilities

• Work alone or in a team environment with other engineers and designers to identify, formulate, and implement design solutions.
• Learn about proprietary ECL equipment including high voltage power supplies, accelerators, cables, and supporting equipment.
• Apply process and equipment troubleshooting knowledge in plant, lab, and corporate environments.
• Provide troubleshooting support to equipment technicians in facilities worldwide to return failed equipment to production.
• Design, fabricate, test improvements to ECL equipment by identifying and evaluating new technologies that can be incorporated into the existing processes to improve yield, decrease downtime, and/or reduce cost.
• Lead or take part in safety risk assessments and implement corrective actions.
• Uphold radiation safety in project execution and engage actively with RSO community on safety related issues.
• Support the development and training of standard operating procedures as well as preventative and predictive maintenance documentation.
• Generate Electrical CAD drawings for control systems including cabinet layout designs as templates.
• Design electrical power distribution systems including 480V 3-phase, 110 VAC, and 24VDC systems within control cabinets as templates to account for technology advancements.
• Finalize drawings, cabinet design, power distribution, etc. for each project derived from template.
• Troubleshoot, checkout and start-up of control system PLCs (mostly Allen Bradley), HMIs, and industrial networks.
• Build, test and ship project equipment from the lab; assemble, install, and start up ECL equipment at facilities worldwide.
• Maintain Bill of Materials for equipment and control systems.
• Use Office 365 skills to organize and track purchase orders for equipment and controls and effectively execute projects.
• Direct electrical and mechanical contractors on site to install equipment as part of project execution.
• Maintain communication with project engineer and project managers for smooth project execution, scheduling downtime, etc.
• Create RACI charts for projects, communicate with and manage stakeholders effectively as part of project execution along with highlighting risks and opportunities for improvement with use of tools such as SmartSheet.

Requirements

• Associate's degree in an applicable technical field and 5-8+ years of directly related technical experience required OR Bachelor's degree in an applicable technical field and 3-4+ years of directly related engineering or technical experience required.
• Strong communication skills across multiple disciplines, including management.
• Experience in generating and updating Electrical CAD drawings.
• Ability to interpret, design, and note field changes for mechanical and electrical drawings.
• Experience or willingness to work with electrical distribution systems (480V 3-phase, 110 VAC, 24VDC).
• Experience or willingness to work with PLCs (mostly Allen Bradley), HMIs, and industrial networks.
• Self-motivated with the ability to learn and suggest improvements.
• Able to work effectively in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment, take initiative and drive for results to exceed customer expectations.
• Proficiency in Office 365.
• Ability to lift, handle and maneuver ECL equipment as needed.
• Able to handle multiple projects.
