Design and commission systems of electrical and fluid controls for a variety of applications including welders, robots, assembly, conveyance and transfer systems. Apply knowledge, principles and techniques in engineering and computer science to generate required hardware design schematics and develop software system programming and documentation. Facilitate build process by troubleshooting connection issues. Commission and debug equipment on build shop and/or end user sites. Understand customer specifications (corporate and plant), standards, and local and/or national electric codes for use in designing hardware schematics and software programs. Construct electrical and fluid schematic packages by laying out I/O, designing magnetic circuits, fusing, control panel layouts, bills of material, and cable layouts. Perform the required sizing calculation for power, heat dissipation, wire sizing, fusing, etc. Perform the required calculations for network layout and traffic analysis. Research, develop and customize new hardware and software interfaces. Utilize existing customer and internal standards as well as references from previous projects to develop and customize all required application specific software (i.e. PLC ladder logic, HMI files). Coordinate and review with Controls Project Engineer, Controls Technical Leaders, and colleagues to maintain consistency within a given project. Check hardware schematics and software programs for errors. Perform commissioning and debugging for intermediate to complex machine applications.
