This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on innovative projects that integrate electrical engineering principles with modern system design. Candidates should possess a strong background in electrical systems, system design, and mechanical knowledge, with experience in CAD and simulation tools. The position is paid and suitable for both experienced professionals and interns eager to develop their expertise in electrical building services.
Responsibilities
- Develop detailed electrical system designs using AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, and SolidWorks.
- Perform root cause analysis to troubleshoot electrical issues within building systems.
- Create schematics and system diagrams for various electrical installations and control panels.
- Utilise programming skills in Python, C++, Perl, and firmware development for automation and control solutions.
- Design and implement control logic using programmable logic controllers (PLCs) for building automation systems.
- Conduct signal processing and debugging of electronic circuits to optimise system performance.
- Analyse system requirements and develop comprehensive system design documentation.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers to integrate electrical components with mechanical systems.
- Apply surface mount technology (SMT) techniques such as soldering for circuit assembly.
- Use simulation tools like Simulink and MATLAB to model system behaviour and perform performance analysis.
- Ensure compliance with safety standards through thorough testing and validation of electrical systems.
- Support the realisation of projects from concept through to installation, including schematic creation and verification.
