Senior Electrical Design Engineer - Podium Automation : Job Details

Podium Automation is a venture-backed, early-stage startup based in Brooklyn, NY reimagining the way we design and manufacture industrial control panels. Our vision is to create a new industrial supply chain to unblock critical hardware innovation across sectors and industries.

We are seeking a full-time Senior Electrical Design Engineer to lead the design of control panel electrical schematics. Reporting directly to the CTO, you will be a thought partner in designing and implementing systems that cut lead time out of every step of the panel design and build process.

What You'll Do

• Translate customer design requirements into build-ready UL 508A compliant electrical schematics
• Build out Podium's component database and develop schematic templates to standardize design methodology, panel layout, and schematic aesthetics
• Test, implement, and provide feedback on new software tools that help speed up the schematic creation process
• Support the automation of the panel build process through testing of new methods and tools, and ensuring necessary information is digitized during the design phase.
• Oversee final validation testing of panels prior to ship
• Be an internal expert on supplier offerings, staying up-to-date on new product features and maximizing the value Podium can supply to its customers through strong manufacturer and distributor relationships

Who You Are

There are 4 values that all Podium employees are expected to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly):

• Customer Obsession: We sit on the same side of the table as our customers and build things to solve their biggest problems
• High Integrity: We strive to be honest, transparent, and kind. We do the right thing even when it's not the easy or obvious path, and believe that how things get done is just as important as what gets done.
• Have Grit: We pick up the broom and have a bias for action. We enjoy doing things outside of our comfort zone, and we roll up our sleeves and take on those challenges head-on.
• Win and Lose as a Team: We work collaboratively and take primary fulfillment from the team's success. While we certainly celebrate individual achievements, we ultimately win as a team.

Required for this role

• Must have completed a 4-year degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering or a related field
• 5+ years of work experience in controls or electrical engineering in industrial automation, including direct experience designing electrical schematics to UL 508A standard
• Familiar with DTM, E3, EPLAN, or AutoCAD Electrical
• Available to work in-person in Brooklyn, NY (in person, 5 days/week)

Preferred for this role

• Certified UL 508A Manufacturer's Technical Representative
• Experience designing panels to UL 698A for hazardous locations (NRBX / NNNY)
• Experience programming PLCs (Beckhoff, Siemens, Allen Bradley)
