• Complete electrical design activities from concept through product launch, including development of design specifications, component selection, material and instrument requirements, and electrical documentation.
• Analyze and recommend design approaches, methods, materials, and processes to meet production requirements and improve existing products and processes.
• Define I/O mapping and configure, test, and tune machine control systems, including PID control, VFDs, and motion control components.
• Design and test PC-based computer interfaces and work with computer suppliers to establish hardware specifications for machine applications; create and deploy custom Windows images as required.
• Conduct prototype and experimental runs and compile and evaluate design and test data to develop technical specifications and support design decisions.
• Review and approve engineering inputs, including drawings, specifications, bills of material (BOMs), and other technical documentation; complete engineering documentation through PCO release and follow applicable PCO/Special Order processes.
• Provide electrical engineering support and troubleshooting to manufacturing, technical support, field service, sales, and customers related to product design, testing, installation, operation, and performance.
• Work directly with customers and internal teams to gather requirements, evaluate feature requests, troubleshoot issues, and develop appropriate technical solutions.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineering, software engineering, technical support, project management, and other functions throughout all phases of projects.
• Assist with quotations and cost estimates for special/custom products and projects.
• Plan, organize, and execute technical projects, monitoring progress, identifying potential schedule disruptions, and coordinating engineering resources to ensure timely completion.
• Independently analyze and resolve complex technical problems and provide technical guidance and consultation to engineering staff and other departments.
• Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and mentor and share knowledge with team members.
• Perform light sub-assembly and other hands-on activities as needed to support product development, testing, and troubleshooting.
• Work independently with minimal supervision and lead small, lower-risk engineering projects as assigned.
• Demonstrate expertise in at least one machine platform and serve as a technical resource for that platform.
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and demonstrate a commitment to ITW values, accountability, collaboration, customer focus, and professional development.

Core Competencies:

• Ability to plan, organize and conduct technical projects within the time and financial constraints set for projects.
• Knowledge of electrical systems for communication, sensor functions and PID control.
