Job description

Accentuate Staffing is working with a growing engineering and manufacturing organization that develops custom electrical, controls, and power-distribution solutions for industrial, data-center, and utility environments. This Electrical Design Engineer will support the design and refinement of engineered electrical systems while working closely with engineering, production, quality, field-service, and customer teams.The ideal candidate will bring strong electrical drafting skills, a solid understanding of control and power circuits, and the ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment. This role will focus heavily on electrical schematic development, design revisions, production support, troubleshooting, and maintaining accurate as-built documentation.

Responsibilities:

1. Create and revise electrical schematics and related design documentation for industrial control panels, switchboards, and other engineered power-distribution products using electrical CAD software.
2. Collaborate with engineering teams to develop and improve control and power circuits for new and existing products and applications.
3. Work directly with production personnel to refine designs for manufacturability, accuracy, efficiency, and cost-conscious execution.
4. Incorporate customer-requested changes into electrical designs while ensuring drawings and documentation accurately reflect approved project requirements.
5. Provide technical and troubleshooting support to production, quality, and field-service teams when electrical or controls-related issues arise.
6. Document shop-floor and field modifications, maintain drawing revisions, and produce accurate final as-built electrical drawings.

Requirements:

1. Minimum 2 years of related electrical design, controls, power-distribution, or industrial control-panel experience; relevant power or controls experience is preferred.
2. Strong electrical CAD skills; experience with AutoCAD Electrical is highly desirable.
3. Solid understanding of industrial controls, electrical power circuits, schematics, and electrical design principles.
4. Familiarity with UL 508A industrial control panel requirements; knowledge of related power-distribution standards is beneficial.
5. Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
6. Must be a U.S. citizen and able to travel occasionally to customer or vendor locations as project needs require.
