About the job
Responsibilities
- Participate in initial equipment conceptual development while balancing product specifications, process requirements, layout complexity, cost, and lead-time constraints.
- Design NFPA 79, NEC, and UL 508A-compliant industrial electrical control panels and create electrical, pneumatic, and fluid schematics.
- Simulate processes to assess automation proposals for cooling plants, electrical distribution, and liquid-cooling loops.
- Architect, write, and debug organized, documented, maintainable, and reusable PLC code for critical infrastructure.
- Create simple HMI screens for complex plant and facility systems with sufficient troubleshooting feedback.
- Manage electrical cabinet builds, field wiring, pneumatic systems, and fluid plumbing.
- Select and size electrical and electromechanical components, including VFDs, servo motors, and controllers.
- Deploy automated processes and equipment into live campus operations, including BMS, EPMS, SCADA, and PLC systems serving chillers, CDUs, pumps, and power distribution.
- Establish and maintain project schedules and budgets.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline.
- At least 1 year of professional experience designing and commissioning industrial automation and controls systems.
- Ability to work onsite in the Memphis, TN / Southaven, MS area.
- Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
- Willingness to travel to other locations.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Skills and Experience
