We have a Controls Engineer position open in Orlando, FL. 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.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Responsible for system design from a blank sheet of paper to create the 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, minimize voltage drop, and design a more efficient system hardware layout
• 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 of safety-critical parts within a control system
• Designing redundant mitigations in the 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 the project

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Must be organized, technically competent, have effective oral and written communications, and experience 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)
