R&D Electrical Systems & Test Engineer
Build. Test. Troubleshoot. Improve.
At Munters , we’re helping industries around the world become more energy efficient and sustainable through innovative air treatment solutions. Our technology supports critical applications across manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food, agriculture, and other industries.
We’re looking for a curious and hands-on R&D Electrical Systems & Test Engineer who enjoys solving problems, working with industrial equipment, and bringing new ideas to life.
This isn’t a role where you’ll spend all day behind a computer. You’ll have the opportunity to design electrical and control systems, work with PLCs and instrumentation, build and modify prototypes, troubleshoot equipment, conduct testing, and see your projects progress from an initial idea to a functioning system.
What You’ll Do
As part of our R&D team, you’ll:
Design electrical control systems, including schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, bills of materials, and electrical calculations
Develop, modify, and troubleshoot PLC and HMI programs , primarily using Siemens and Allen-Bradley platforms
Support the build, testing, modification, and commissioning of control panels, prototypes, and test systems
Troubleshoot electrical and control systems involving PLCs, VFDs, sensors, motors, instrumentation, and industrial communications
Install and configure controls hardware and electrical components
Plan and conduct engineering tests, analyze data, document results, and recommend improvements
Help maintain and continuously improve our R&D laboratory and testing capabilities
Take ownership of projects from concept and design through testing and completion
Collaborate with mechanical engineering, manufacturing, product management, service, and other teams to solve technical challenges
Create and maintain drawings, BOMs, test procedures, reports, and other engineering documentation
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone with:
A B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology , or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience
Approximately 2–5 years of relevant experience in electrical engineering, controls, automation, or industrial equipment
Experience designing electrical control systems and creating schematics and wiring diagrams
Experience working with PLC-based controls
Hands-on experience troubleshooting electrical and controls equipment
Familiarity with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
The ability and interest to work directly with equipment in an R&D, laboratory, manufacturing, and field environment
Even Better If You Have
Experience with Siemens and/or Allen-Bradley PLCs
Experience with AutoCAD Electrical or similar electrical design software
Knowledge of UL 508A and UL 1995
Experience with VFDs, sensors, instrumentation, motors, industrial communications, or data acquisition systems
Exposure to HVAC, air-handling, or industrial dehumidification equipment
Experience with SolidWorks
These are valuable additions, but we recognize that great candidates may not check every box.
What Will Help You Succeed
You’ll enjoy this role if you’re someone who:
Likes to build, test, troubleshoot, and figure out how things work
Enjoys a mix of computer-based engineering and hands-on work
Takes ownership and follows projects through to completion
Is curious, resourceful, and comfortable tackling unfamiliar technical problems
Wants to learn new controls technologies and PLC platforms
Enjoys collaborating with different engineering and business teams
Can adapt as R&D priorities and technical challenges evolve
Additional Details
Occasional travel of approximately 5%
Hands-on work with electrical systems, laboratory/test equipment, prototypes, and industrial equipment is an important part of the position
