The Will-Burt Company • Orrville, OH • 9h ago

SUMMARY: The Will-Burt Company is the global market leader original equipment manufacturer for telescoping mast products and systems integration used in a variety of markets including defense, first responder rescue, commercial and more. Join a creative work environment integrating and designing new and improved electro-mechanical products. Projects revolve around Will-Burt's diverse telescoping mast product lines and their use in integrated systems (for example, a trailer with a mast and tilt with power management supporting a radar and surveillance suite). The U.S. engineering team consists of approximately 22 members including two Senior Electrical Engineers.

MAIN JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

Control System Design: Design control systems to operate in harsh outdoor off-road vehicle environments. Select the appropriate off-the-shelf control products and sensors and combine in-house designed PC boards to specify a system control. The controls design has diversity to be tailored to a range of applications and is used globally on programs. Control systems are needed for individual mast product control as well as full system integrations using mast products. The engineer is responsible to design and build (or oversee build) proto@types for use in qualification testing or customer evaluations.

Controls Programming: Will-Burt does all control programming in-house. Typically, new product controls utilize J-1939 CANbus and CANopen protocols. Legacy products use serial RS-485 communications. Programming is done in a variety of ways including C and the international standard CODESYS for example.

Integration: Oversee the electrical system design to support customer integrations. This includes powering and operating Will-Burt equipment as well as providing power and required data interfaces to customer payload equipment. This customer equipment can range from simple payloads to complex radar and surveillance packages. Some examples of power systems are generators, shore power, solar/wind and battery management systems. Will-Burt also offers camera and mobile DVR integrations including HD-SDI, IR and IP cameras on positioners. This position also gets involved in business capture activities to support bid proposals on new programs.

CAD & ERP Documentation: Will-Burt legacy control designs/schematics are documented in Autodesk AutoCAD. Mechanical systems are modeled in Inventor. It is desired (not required) to migrate to Inventor to support electrical design activities. PCB designs are done in Autodesk EAGLE. Design documentation is entered in the ERP system Infor Cloud Suite Industrial (Syteline).

Testing (Break Stuff): Will-Burt has an engineering test lab to facilitate product qualification. Testing parts to failure is typically part of the process. There is a Test Lab Coordinator that can assist with building proto@types and performing product testing. The engineer in this position can take as much of a "hands-on" approach as desired during the proto@type build and testing phases. Third party test labs are also used to qualify products.
