As an Electrical Designer at RND Automation, you will play a key role in the development and design of custom automation electrical systems for various packaging and robotic workcells. You will work closely with assemblers, electrical and mechanical engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure that electrical designs meet both functional and regulatory standards. Your work will contribute to the successful delivery of high-quality, efficient, and safe electrical systems.

To achieve this goal, the position is responsible for creating electrical enclosure designs and single-line electrical schematics, analyzing and correcting redline prints, troubleshooting and debugging electrical designs, and determining material and component specifications based on job requirements. This role involves adhering to RND standards for both process and component selection, as well as collaborating with the team to establish or modify these standards as necessary.

Duties and responsibilities:

• Design & Development: Create detailed electrical design drawings and schematics using AutoCAD Electrical and Inventor. Design enclosure layouts and determine cable lengths for all equipment on machine.

• Technical Analysis: Perform load calculations, thermal calculations, and other technical evaluations to ensure system efficiency and compliance with codes and standards. Verify conformance of components to customer specifications

• Collaboration: Work closely with project managers, engineers, electricians, and assemblers to integrate electrical designs into overall project plans. Provide technical guidance and support during the build/debug phase. Actively participate in project design reviews and huddles

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all designs comply with national electrical codes and standards. Stay updated on changes in regulations and industry best practices.

• Documentation: Prepare and maintain accurate project documentation, including electrical bill of materials, specifications, and change orders.

• Problem Solving: Identify and resolve design issues or discrepancies in collaboration with the project team. Propose and implement design modifications as necessary.

• Quality Assurance: Conduct design reviews and quality checks to ensure accuracy and adherence to project requirements. Maintain and help to set standards for electrical component selection and use

• Client Interaction: Communicate effectively with clients to understand their needs and preferences. Present design concepts and adjust based on feedback.

Daily Activities:

• Attend project huddles.

• Develop electrical drawings and schematics.

• Design enclosure layouts and determine cable lengths

• Answer questions about design from engineers and electrical assemblers.

• Perform safety risk assessments for machines

• Research project-specific technologies and how to implement them into RND machines.
