Electrical Engineer, Actuator Test Infrastructure
Recruiter Fit Breakdown & Candid Summary
1
This role is for a hands-on electrical engineer who thrives in a lab environment, focusing on power electronics, motor drives, and instrumentation for robotics.
2
The ideal candidate balances high-level system architecture with the grit of wiring, debugging, and commissioning test-cell hardware.
3
Candidates who prefer purely theoretical design or lack experience with high-current/high-voltage industrial test environments will not be a good fit.
4
This is a critical infrastructure role requiring a mix of safety-conscious engineering and rapid, iterative development.
Role Responsibilities
- 1Own the electrical architecture of dynamometer and actuator test cells, including power distribution and motor drives.
- 2Specify, integrate, and tune motor drives and load machines for actuator performance testing.
- 3Design and document electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts.
- 4Integrate multi-modal instrumentation (torque, position, thermal, vibration) into DAQ and control systems.
- 5Develop and validate safety circuits, including E-stops, interlocks, and fault detection systems.
- 6Maintain lab hardware, diagnosing EMI, grounding, and power-quality issues.
