Description
Responsibilities
-
Electrical Design & Product Development: Design electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and architectures using eCAD tools (e.g., EPLAN) for robotic tool changer systems. Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, FMEAs, and ensure compliance with functional safety standards (Performance Level / Safety Integrity Level). Maintain technical documentation including BOMs and performance reports.
-
Test Engineering & Validation: Define comprehensive test plans and test cases covering functional, electrical, safety, and failure scenarios.
-
Automated Test Bench Development: Design and build custom test bench setups equipped with power, load simulation, signal emulation, and Data Acquisition (DAQ) hardware.
-
Test Automation & Data Handling: Develop automated test sequences (using Python) to ensure repeatable and scalable testing processes. Implement data logging concepts, analyze failure trends, and generate detailed validation reports.
-
System Integration & Debugging: Integrate systems with PLCs, robotics, and industrial communication protocols (Profinet, EtherCAT, IO-Link, etc.). Diagnose electrical, software, and mechatronic issues using root cause analysis.
-
Compliance & Standards: Strictly follow all company safety, quality, and environmental protocols.
Qualifications & Requirements
-
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
-
Experience: Background in electrical design, test engineering, and automation preferred.
-
CAD Tools: Competency with eCAD software (EPLAN preferred).
-
Programming & Scripting: Strong preference for Python experience used in test automation.
-
Controls & Automation: Familiarity with PLCs, fieldbus protocols (Profinet, EtherCAT, IO-Link), and DAQ systems.
-
Functional Safety: Understanding of safety performance standards (PL and SIL).
-
Key Competencies: Strong analytical and hands-on problem-solving skills with the ability to collaborate across global R&D teams.
