The Hardware Development Engineer I (HDE I) role focuses on the research, design, and development of electrical and controls sub-components for material handling systems. This entry-level position allows engineers to solve hardware-related engineering problems with guidance from senior team members while gaining hands-on experience in power distribution and controls design. The ideal candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver quality designs and learn industry standards. This role is perfect for early-career engineers passionate about customer-focused design and eager to contribute to innovative solutions.

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, physics, or equivalent.
• 2+ years of hardware design and validation of components, subsystems, and systems experience.
• Knowledge of engineering practices for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle.
• Experience with hardware/software integration and real-time systems.
• Familiarity with UL 508A panel design standards or NFPA 70E.

• Assist in the design of electrical sub-components for power and controls systems.
• Support the development of electrical layouts, schematics, and panel designs under guidance.
• Learn to apply modular and scalable design principles that prioritize reliability and performance.
• Build and test prototypes of electrical and controls sub-components to validate designs.
• Evaluate designs through analysis and testing, troubleshooting issues as they arise.
• Work effectively with product managers and engineering peers on design discussions.
• Document research and design decisions clearly for future engineers.
