## What you'll get to do Develop control system architectures and schematics for new and revised products. Design and specify electrical panels, enclosures, wiring harnesses, I/O layouts, and component selection for production and serviceability. Create and maintain electrical (AC & DC power, control) schematics, and work with other designers/engineers to release backplane assembly and wire harness drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs) and manufacturing work instructions. Develop and troubleshoot Carel PLC software for chiller control. Ensure control panel and system designs meet UL requirements (e.g. UL60335-2-40) and support UL certification/submission activities; coordinate with testing labs or certifying bodies as needed. Perform risk assessments, design reviews, and DFMEA for control systems; implement safety controls and interlocks per applicable standards. Support product validation: develop test plans, perform commissioning, debug field issues, and iterate designs for manufacturability and reliability. Collaborate with mechanical and manufacturing teams to balance cost, manufacturability, and performance for low-to-mid volume production. Provide technical support for customers and field service teams; create troubleshooting guides and training material. Work with suppliers and manufacturing to support production ramp-up, product & process development, and cost reduction. Create / process Engineering Change Requests (ECR’s) and Orders (ECO’s). Troubleshoot field and production issues; provide root-cause analysis and corrective actions. Ensure product designs meet applicable regulatory, safety, and quality standards. Support project planning, schedule tracking, design reviews, and documentation. ## What will make you successful Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, or equivalent experience. 5+ years’ experience in controls engineering or related role, focused on product design for low-to-mid volume manufacturing. Hands-on PLC program
