Troubleshoot and resolve controls issues in production and deployed systems, including occasional travel (<10%) to customer sites.
Assemble and test prototype systems, including execution of verification testing protocols.
Implement design changes to electrical components and control panels.
Create, revise, and maintain electrical schematics (AutoCAD), BOMs, and assembly documentation.
Assist regulatory and compliance efforts including documentation and risk assessment, and support CE registration and international deployments through electrical system design and verification testing.

Candidate Profile:
