About the role

Senior Electrical Controls Engineer focused on designing and developing electrical control systems for robotic factory automation, from system architecture and component selection through panel design, prototype bring-up, system integration, and production.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the electrical architecture and design of automated systems within the pallet structural system
  • Design industrial electrical control panels, including power distribution, controls, I/O, safety systems, and machine interfaces
  • Develop electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, cable schedules, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation
  • Work closely with safety engineers to support industrial functional safety controls
  • Select and specify PLCs, remote I/O, industrial PCs, motor/servo drives, power supplies, circuit protection, relays, contactors, sensors, and other electrical components
  • Develop PLC and machine-control architectures, including I/O definitions and interfaces between electrical, controls, firmware, and mechanical systems
  • Design AC/DC power distribution and 24VDC control systems, including appropriate circuit protection and power management
  • Design and integrate motors, servo systems, actuators, sensors, encoders, safety devices, and other machine-level electrical components
  • Develop machine safety circuits including E-stops, safety relays/PLCs, interlocks, light curtains, and other protective devices
  • Develop and maintain standardized, modular electrical architectures that can be reused across multiple robotic systems
  • Work with mechanical engineers on electrical enclosure, panel, cable routing, connector, harness, and machine integration requirements
  • Build and bring up prototype control panels and electrical systems, troubleshoot wiring and integration issues, and support system commissioning
  • Work directly with technicians, manufacturing, suppliers, and panel builders to transition designs into production.
  • Participate in design reviews, electrical risk assessments, system validation, and root-cause analysis of electrical and system-level issues
  • Support factory acceptance testing, system commissioning, and deployment of robotic systems
  • Establish electrical engineering processes, standards, design guidelines, and best practices for Mytra's production systems
  • Drive electrical designs from early prototypes through production, balancing performance, reliability, cost, manufacturability, and schedule

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience designing electrical systems for industrial automation, robotics, manufacturing equipment, or complex electromechanical products
  • Strong experience with industrial control panel design and electrical schematics
  • Experience with PLC-based control systems and industrial I/O architectures
  • Experience selecting and integrating motor drives, servo systems, power supplies, circuit protection, relays, contactors, sensors, and safety components
  • Experience with electrical CAD tools for creating schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and electrical documentation
  • Strong understanding of AC/DC power distribution, 24VDC control systems, grounding, circuit protection, and electrical safety
  • Experience creating electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, BOMs, cable schedules, and manufacturing documentation
  • Hands-on experience bringing up, debugging, and troubleshooting automated machinery or robotic systems
  • Experience working with mechanical, firmware/software, controls, manufacturing, and test engineering teams
  • Experience taking electrical designs from prototype through production
  • Strong troubleshooting and system-level problem-solving skills
