Full Job Description
Specific Role:
We're looking for a technically sharp, detail-oriented Applications Engineer to own EMIT Technologies' panel and controls applications as an individual contributor. In this role, you'll translate customer requirements into buildable panel configurations and the documentation that carries them to production, then see them through to a clean start-up in the field. You'll work directly with customer engineers and collaborate closely with Solutions Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, and Sales to deliver panels that are correctly configured, well documented, and ready to build. After an initial ramp alongside our Controls Engineering Manager, you'll also share weekend and off-hours customer call and activation coverage with our Technical Support team. Key Accountabilities:
Work directly with customer engineers to determine panel functional requirements and design panel configurations to match
Participate in customer reviews of functional requirements for new panel applications, and verify requirements with the customer to secure approval before configuration work proceeds
Support Sales and Solutions Engineering in identifying which EMIT products and configurations fit a customer's request, including whether it can be done and what parts are required
Help customers plan how panel functionality will apply to their project
Review IO sheets from Solutions Engineering for technical accuracy and completeness, and create IO sheets directly for requests that don't come through Solutions Engineering
Create panel schematics and resulting bills of materials in SolidWorks (2D), and make electrical drawing changes as needed
Create configuration files, test files, and wire files, plus cause and effect diagrams and sequence-of-operations documentation as required
Partner with Mechanical Engineering to release completed panel documentation to production
Coordinate with Mechanical Engineering on drawing updates and with Software Engineering on new features needed to complete a panel application
Support engine control application scoping, identifying the kits and parts required for a given application
Assist customers at unit commissioning with control changes to meet site-specific requirements, including occasional on-site support
Set up hardware simulations to support field troubleshooting
Share weekend and off-hours activation and customer call coverage with the Technical Support team once initial ramp is complete
