· Prepare setup sheets, operating instructions, program backups, and related technical documentation.

· Support risk assessments and the development of safe operating procedures for automated equipment.

Electrical Drafting and Documentation

· Prepare and revise electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, control-panel layouts, test-setup drawings, and related bills of materials using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or other applicable software.

· Update drawings based on design changes, test findings, equipment modifications, and manufacturing requirements.

· Review drawings and technical documents for accuracy, consistency, and proper revision control.

· Support the preparation of test procedures, work instructions, test reports, technical proposals, and customer documentation.

Cross-Functional Support

· Work closely with Production, Quality, and Continuous Improvement teams on testing, controls, automation, and process-improvement projects.

· Support equipment installation, commissioning, production trials, and technical troubleshooting.

· Communicate project status, test results, technical issues, and required actions clearly to internal teams, customers, vendors, and equipment suppliers.

· Perform other related engineering and technical duties as assigned.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

· Advanced diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology (or equivalent).

· Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience in engineering support, electrical R&D;, product testing, testing coordination, or manufacturing support.
