Senior Electrical Engineer (SF) (BF0011)

Your Responsibilities:

• Using the rest of the Pyrotronics team as a resource, you will design and develop automation control cabinets. This includes selecting motor controllers and VFDS, designing AC circuits and wiring harnesses, and selecting appropriate PLC cards to interact with all the sensors and actuators. You are then responsible for creating electrical schematics, selecting appropriate components and creating a bill of materials. Then you get to build it! 
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Work closely with mechanical engineers, software developers, and other stakeholders to integrate control systems, motor controllers, VFDs, and industrial sensors into larger automation projects.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues: Identify and troubleshoot control system malfunctions, sensor inaccuracies, and communication problems, implement corrective measures, and perform system testing to ensure optimal performance.
• Documentation and reporting: Create detailed technical documentation, including sensor specifications, sensor integration plans, drawings, specifications, and test reports, to support system integration, maintenance, and future enhancements.
• Implement basic PLC systems: Use the building blocks created by our sensors and controls team to build basic HMIs. 

You Bring:

• 7 years or more of control cabinet design (or similar) professional experience.
• Excitement about getting opportunities to build rapid prototypes, get your hands dirty by working side-by-side with a cross functional team.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Experience in designing cable assemblies.
• Experience with electrical schematic capture tools (We use Zuken).
• Familiarity with programming languages for PLC systems, such as ladder logic or structured text
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot control systems and sensor-related issues.
• Have a proactive, professional and “can do” attitude.
• Passionate about contributing to our mission and growing the company.
• Willing to travel once or twice a year to Ft. Lupton, Colorado to visit with our Colorado team.
• Understanding of automation control systems, motor control principles, electrical circuit design, and industrial sensors
• Proficiency in selecting motor controllers, VFDs, and industrial sensors based on project requirements
• Knowledge of safety regulations and standards related to high-power systems
• Experience designing for or operating near high power equipment (high voltage, large horsepower motors, high force actuators …etc)

Bonus but not required:

• Experience with Codesys

What we offer:

• The anticipated salary range is [IC 3], dependent on factors such as experience within the job, within the industry, education, location, etc
• Stock options
• Health benefits (medical, dental, vision)
• Traditional and Roth 401(k)
• Paid time off, including parental leave
• A yearly professional development stipend
• Healthy snacks and lunches at a sweet workplace with lots of space inside and out
• A chance to pivot into a role in climate!
