Role

As our foundational Electrical Engineer, you will join the Hardware Engineering team at Orbem to establish and lead best practices of electrical design. You will be responsible for advancing the electrical architecture of our complex systems, ensuring they meet required standards in the automation industry. Your mission will evolve from hands-on design and reviewing of product architecture to advising our dedicated electrical engineering team, defining a clear framework and shaping the future of our electrical design.

Your Day-to-Day

Designing and enhancing electrical systems for complex automation, including creating detailed wiring diagrams and electrical distribution across subsystems.
Collaborating with cross-functional teams to elevate our products, ensuring full compliance with electrical standards in the automation industry (both EU and US markets).
Taking ownership of the electrical engineering framework, from initial design and validation to long-term strategy.
Mentoring junior engineers and relevant stakeholders, acting as the subject matter expert for all electrical engineering challenges.

Your Experience and Skills

Vast experience in electrical engineering, particularly in the (food) automation industry.
Proficient in creating and interpreting wiring diagrams and designing electrical distribution boxes, motor control circuits and PLC systems for automation systems (EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, AutoCad Electrical).
Proven expertise with low and high voltage system design.
Strong understanding of relevant regulations and the ability to define guidelines and best practices to be followed by others.
Great collaborative skills and a proactive, “get-it-done” attitude.

What Makes You Stand Out

Experience with RF systems.
A background working with MRI systems or in the food industry.
