L1 Electrical Panel Builder

Responsibilities:

• Builds the electrical panel based on Electrical Schematics and Layout drawings

• Installs the electrical panel on the robot

• Installs and wires all sensors

• Installs Pneumatic components such as valves, air preparation/storage, and plumbing based on Pneumatic Schematics and Layout drawings

• Creates “red-line” drawings and keeps them updated throughout the life of the robot

• Maintains the Electrical and Pneumatic systems of all robots in the fleet

Requirements:

• Must meet fundraising, outreach, and attendance requirements

• Basic use of hand tools

• Test & Measurement tools

• Know basic DC Circuits

• Wiring and assembly techniques/best practice

• Intro to Electrical & Pneumatic Schematics

• CAD Electrical Schematic knowledge is preferable

Comfortable with the following (able to be tested and pass with satisfaction):

• Crimping
• Questions/Component Identification:
  
• Basic Wire Management
• Basic Schematic Usage

L2 Electrical Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Mentor (L1) Electrical/Panel Builders

• Oversee electrical and pneumatic work in the shop

• Works with the other Managers to select electrical and pneumatic components

• Designs Electrical Schematics and Panel Layout based on team Standards & Best Practices

• Designs Pneumatic Schematics and Panel Layout based on team Standards & Best Practices

• Responsible for updating the Engineering Workbook and maintaining project documentation
