Electrical Engineer
Overview
This role is responsible for the validation and certification of commercial chiller systems. The position focuses on electrical system design evaluation, instrumentation, test execution, data analysis, and compliance with applicable industry standards. Engineers will work closely with mechanical engineers, lab technicians, and quality teams to ensure chiller performance, safety, and reliability.
Key Responsibilities
Maintain all electrical systems fully functional to test HVAC systems (water‑cooled and air‑cooled chillers)
Plan, execute, and support electrical testing of commercial chillers, including air‑cooled and water‑cooled systems
Troubleshoot control circuits and low‑voltage wiring on water‑cooled and air‑cooled chillers
Develop and review electrical test procedures, wiring diagrams, and control schematics
Set up and validate test instrumentation for voltage, current, power, harmonic distortion, and control signals
Troubleshoot electrical, controls, and communication issues during system testing
Analyze test data and prepare technical reports documenting results, issues, and corrective actions
Support compliance testing to applicable standards (e.g., UL, IEC, AHRI, ASHRAE)
Collaborate with design engineering teams to identify root causes and recommend design improvements
Support factory acceptance testing (FAT), qualification testing, and reliability testing
Ensure testing activities comply with lab safety procedures and electrical safety requirements
Provide technical support during audits, certifications, and customer witness testing
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
Individual contributor, on the job experience in electrical testing, validation, or product development (HVAC or industrial equipment preferred)
Strong understanding of three‑phase power systems, motor drives, starters, and VFDs
Experience with electrical test equipment (power analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, data acquisition systems)
Knowledge of control systems, PLCs, sensors, and communication protocols (Modbus, BACnet, CAN, etc.)
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and wiring diagrams
Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills
Proficiency in technical documentation and test reporting
Familiarity with lab safety standards and electrical codes (NFPA 70 / NEC)
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with commercial chillers, large HVAC equipment, or refrigeration systems
Familiarity with industry standards such as ASHRAE 90.1, AHRI 550/590, UL 1995, IEC 60335
Experience working in an engineering laboratory or test environment
Knowledge of energy efficiency testing and performance certification
Experience with automated test systems and data analysis tools (LabVIEW, Python, MATLAB, or similar)
Professional Engineer (PE) license or EIT certification
Primarily laboratory‑based role with exposure to high‑voltage equipment and rotating machinery
Occasional extended hours during test execution or customer witness testing
Strict adherence to safety protocols and PPE requirements
