Full Job Description
Essential Duties & Responsibilities Electrical Design & System Architecture
Own the design and specification of electrical components and subsystems, including motors, control boards, VFD interfaces, wiring harnesses, power supplies, and communication modules.
Define and document electrical architectures for fan systems, including power distribution, control, protection, and communication topologies.
Create and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, PCB documentation, and BOMs; review PCB layouts for best practices in power electronics, EMC, creepage/clearance, and manufacturability.
Apply sound engineering principles and DFx (DFM, DFT, DFA) to deliver designs that are reliable, safe, and compliant with regulatory standards.
Lead and participate in formal design reviews with electrical, mechanical, firmware, manufacturing, and compliance teams.
Motor Drives, VFD-Integration & Control
Lead integration and tuning of VFD-driven systems for HVLS and motor applications.
Collaborate closely with embedded/firmware engineers on motor-control strategies and hardware interface requirements.
Analyze and resolve complex issues related to inrush current, overcurrent faults, EMI/EMC interactions, harmonics, and thermal performance.
Evaluate new drive technologies and components for performance, cost, and long-term reliability.
Testing, Validation & Compliance Leadership
Define and execute test plans for electrical performance, reliability, safety, environmental, and system-level behavior.
Drive DOE airflow testing strategy, electrical efficiency validation, and regulatory compliance.
Lead EMC/EMI pre-compliance and compliance efforts in collaboration with internal and external labs.
Ensure designs meet UL, IEC, DOE, FCC, and internal quality standards; interpret data and drive corrective actions.
Networking, Communications & Systems Integration
Architect and implement robust industrial communication interfaces (Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet, EtherCAT preferred).
Specify and guide development of communication modules and translator PCBs.
Support integration with HMIs, VFDs, and supervisory systems to ensure reliable system-level behavior.
