What will you do?

• Perform electrical analysis, design, and development work for water-cooled chiller components and systems.

• Create and maintain wiring diagrams, panel diagrams, electrical schematics, and control schematics to support product development and manufacturing.

• Prepare instrumentation specifications and detailed engineering documentation for assigned projects.

• Generate and update ECNs and BOMs with accuracy and attention to engineering requirements.

• Troubleshoot and debug electrical systems, circuits, and design issues, and support resolution through to closure.

• Collaborate with manufacturing, design, and cross-functional teams to improve system performance and reliability.

• Support technical decisions with clear documentation, practical design input, and timely communication.

How will you do it?

• Take ownership of your work with accountability, safety, and integrity, ensuring electrical designs are accurate and ready for execution.

• Stay close to the engineering and manufacturing details, so you can identify issues early and remove obstacles before they affect delivery.

• Ability to create and interpret electrical and control schematics.

• Ability to troubleshoot and debug electrical and control circuits.

• Understanding of process and machine control fundamentals.

• Experience preparing technical documentation such as wiring diagrams, panel diagrams, instrumentation specifications, ECNs, or BOMs.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to manage technical requirements, task assignments, tracking, and follow-up.

• Ability to manage workload effectively and deliver accurate work within agreed timelines.

• Good English communication skills for electrical engineering work.

Nice to Have

• Experience with water-cooled chiller systems or refrigeration package design.

• 3-D modeling experience.

• Experience with AutoCAD, Inventor, or PRO/E.

• Exposure to SAP or other MRP software.

• Experience supporting manufacturing, procurement, or cross-functional engineering teams.

What do we offer?

• Comprehensive benefits package.

• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
