Electrical Engineer

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join Hadrian's Special Projects division. This role is focused on machine build, panel layouts, and industrial systems — you will own the electrical design and build of our robotic machining cells: control panel layout and build, machine wiring and harnesses, drive systems, safety circuits, and cell-level industrial power distribution. You will install and commission on the floor, not throw drawings over the wall.

This is not a board-level / PCB design role — we are looking for an industrial / machine-build EE who has spent time inside real cells, panels, and control cabinets.

You will partner directly with mechanical, controls, and operations engineers to take cells from clean-sheet concept through volume production, and set the industrial electrical standards the rest of the automation team inherits.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design control panels and machine harnesses for robotic machining cells to NFPA 79, UL 508A, and IEC 60204-1.
• Specify and integrate VFDs, servo drives, safety-rated relays / controllers, E-stops, light curtains, and interlocks.
• Design and document 480 V / 208 V / 120 V AC distribution and 24 V DC logic, including transformer / disconnect / UPS sizing.
• Run arc-flash analysis and NFPA 70E labeling for every cell.
• Commission panels and harnesses on the floor — megger, hipot, continuity, insulation, LOTO walkdowns.
• Codify electrical standards — labeling, wire colors, fuse strategies, grounding — into a reusable library.
• Be the on-call electrical owner when a cell goes down; chase drives, power quality, grounding, and harnesses to root cause.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on + credentials.
• 3+ years designing and commissioning industrial control panels for automated machinery.
• Fluent in EPLAN Electric P8 or AutoCAD Electrical (SolidWorks Electrical considered).
• Experience with at least one of Rockwell / Siemens / Beckhoff / Yaskawa VFD and servo drives.
• Working knowledge of NFPA 79, UL 508A, IEC 60204-1, NFPA 70E, and ISO 13849 / IEC 62061 safety-function design.
• Proven experience wiring and commissioning panels on the floor — not just drawing them.
• Comfortable reading scope / clamp-meter traces and debugging drives, ground loops, and power quality.

WHAT WILL SET YOU APART

• Licensed PE (Electrical) or on the PE track.
• Led an arc-flash study end-to-end in SKM or EasyPower.
• Built or maintained a company-wide electrical standards / panel library.
• Industrial networks experience at the physical layer — EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, Profinet, IO-Link.
• High-energy / high-current experience (battery, welding, induction, or similar).
• Experience supporting a greenfield factory power distribution build-out.
