ELV Engineer (Extra-Low Voltage Engineer)

Responsibilities

• On-Site ELV Cabling & Equipment Installation:

  • Lay cables, pull wiring through conduits, crimp connectors/terminals, and terminate distribution/junction boxes for low-voltage and extra-low-voltage (ELV) systems (e.g., 5V, 12V, 24V, 48V).
  • Handle the physical mounting, securing, and neat cable routing of on-site hardware (e.g., sensors, CCTV cameras, emergency stop switches, power supply modules, control boxes).

• Hardware Wiring & Electrical Safety Testing:

  • Read and interpret electrical schematics and ELV construction drawings accurately; independently wire PCBs, motor drivers, and power modules.
  • Conduct pre-power-up safety checks using multimeters, clamp meters, and current-limiting DC power supplies to verify insulation, short circuits, polarity, and correct voltage levels, ensuring personal and equipment safety.

• System Integration, Testing & Commissioning (T&C):

  • Collaborate with project teams and software/algorithm engineers to physically connect and run basic signal continuity/communication tests on industrial sensors (e.g., RS485/Modbus), controller boards, and communication buses.
  • Set up power distribution, hardware emergency stop (E-Stop) safety loops, and fuse protection circuits for low-voltage test benches.

• Troubleshooting & Maintenance:

  • Troubleshoot and rapidly repair hardware issues—such as wire aging, damage, cold solder joints, or loose connections—on smart devices (e.g., AGVs/smart vehicles, robotic dogs, drones, automated site equipment).
  • Perform routine hardware inspections and preventive maintenance; manage and submit requests for spare parts procurement.

• Site Management & Testing Support:

  • Strictly adhere to site low-voltage health and safety protocols; maintain detailed testing and troubleshooting logs.
  • Support the project team with equipment handovers, site inspections, and trial run operations.

Requirements

• Education:

  • Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation, or a related field.

• Experience & Skills:

  • 1–3 years of hands-on experience in ELV engineering, security systems, M&E installation, or site equipment maintenance (outstanding fresh graduates are welcome to apply).
  • Hands-on Craftsmanship: Proficient in schematic-based wiring, soldering, and wire harness/terminal crimping; skilled in using standard electronic testing tools (e.g., multimeters).
  • Wiring Standards: Familiar with anti-interference (EMC/EMI) cable routing standards; maintains good cable management practices (cable ties, clear labeling, sleeving).
  • Communication Protocols: Basic working knowledge of industrial communication interfaces (e.g., RS485, RS232, Modbus, CAN bus), including proper pinout wiring (A/B lines, GND) and basic baud rate settings.

• Nice-to-Haves:

  • Valid Malaysia-recognized electrical safety certificate or Wireman license is a strong plus.
  • Prior wiring and maintenance experience with drones, robotics, PLCs, or industrial control cabinets is an advantage.
