What are the responsibilities and job description for the Electrical/Controls Engineering position at MITREC?
Our client are one of the largest and most-well established engineering companies in the United States.
We have a Senior Electrical/Controls Engineer position open in Los Angeles.
This position is responsible for electrical/controls engineering on large-scale projects. Project requirements involve control system design from scratch (hardware/software/network), electrical panel design and power calculations, risk assessment, component selection and configuration, control system programming, and control system installation/commissioning.
Major Responsibilities:
- Responsible for system design from blank sheet of paper to create concept of electrical/control components based on project requirements.
- Experience doing design via drafting software (AutoCAD preferred)
- Provide input, and system modification as needed, for system integration with other project disciplines
- Able to interface with facility design to optimize panel location minimizing voltage drop and designing a more efficient system hardware layo
- Manage vendor scope to verify safety, functionality, and all contract requirements are satisfied
- Ensures design complies with any local or government agency design/implementation codes in addition to client codes/standards
- Project technical risk assessment document generation and mitigation implementation
- Design and analysis for safety-critical parts within a control system
- Designing redundant mitigations in system to increase safety and reliability
- Designing systems with complex motion and integration from automated systems
- Develops documents of system configuration and design. Documents include Description of operation, Detailed control system design description, panel assembly drawings and schematics, termination drawings, network layout, system implementation/acceptance test plans, system routine maintenance/job plans
- Able to perform the following system design calculations/analysis: Short circuit protection, harmonics, noise reduction/cancellation, power consumption, load flow, short circuit protection, protective relay/circuit design, ground fault monitoring, safety system implementation (SIL/PL rating knowledge is preferred)
- Knowledge of ride system design for attractions involving guests is preferred
- Capable of working “off” shifts as needed during installation/commissioning to support project
Job Requirements:
- Must be organized, technically competent, have effective oral and written communications, experienced in working in a multi-disciplined environment and interfacing with engineers, designers, and drafters.
- Education – bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. (Bachelor’s degrees in other disciplines may be acceptable if work experience is directly related to electrical engineering. Disciplines outside of the electrical/controls area will not be considered)
- Experience – 10 years of experience covering most responsibilities listed above. Preferred experience in ASTM standards, attractions industry, and safety engineering.
- Skills –
- Travel – Ability to travel up to 30% worst case (10% worst case with last couple of years of projects).
