Job description

We are looking for an Electrical Engineer with strong hands-on experience in electrical hardware and power system design. This role will focus on electrical schematic design, high-power electrical panel design, VFD applications, electric heating systems, component selection, and system integration.

The ideal candidate has a solid understanding of AC/DC electrical systems, power distribution, protection, VFDs, heating control, and UL requirements, and is comfortable taking a design from schematic development through wiring, power-up, testing, and troubleshooting.

Key Responsibilities

• Design electrical circuits, control panels, and power distribution systems for industrial equipment and test systems.
• Create and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, BOMs, and technical documentation.
• Design and support high-power electrical panels, including power distribution, circuit protection, grounding, disconnects, contactors, relays, and related components.
• Select and integrate Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for pumps, motors, and other equipment.
• Design and integrate electric heating systems, including heaters, power controllers, contactors, SSR/SCR devices, temperature protection, and associated power circuits.
• Perform electrical load calculations and properly size breakers, fuses, conductors, contactors, power supplies, and other electrical components.
• Ensure designs follow applicable UL standards, electrical codes, and safety requirements.
• Support panel assembly, wiring review, system power-up, commissioning, testing, and troubleshooting.
• Work closely with mechanical and test engineers to complete system-level design and integration.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 3–5 years of relevant electrical design or hardware engineering experience.
• Experience creating electrical schematics using AutoCAD Electrical, DraftSight, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar tools.
• Good understanding of AC power systems, three-phase power, electrical protection, grounding, and power distribution.
• Familiarity with high-power electrical panel design and component sizing.
• Experience selecting, configuring, or integrating VFDs.
• Familiarity with electric heaters and electrical heating control systems.
• Familiarity with UL standards and electrical safety requirements.
• Strong hands‑on skills with electrical wiring, multimeters, electrical testing, debugging, and system bring‑up.

Preferred Experience

• 208 V / 240 V / 480 V three-phase electrical systems
• High-power test equipment or industrial machinery
• VFD-driven pumps, fans, or motors
• Electrical panel fabrication and commissioning
• UL 508A or related UL standards
• HVAC, thermal management, liquid cooling, or test equipment

What We Value

• Strong hands‑on electrical experience, not only theoretical design knowledge.
• Ability to independently create and review electrical schematics and select appropriate components.
• Understanding of practical considerations such as wire sizing, protection, heat generation, grounding, panel layout, and installation.
• Comfort troubleshooting electrical systems during assembly and commissioning.
• Ability to take ownership of a project from electrical design through build, power‑up, and validation.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and willingness to learn new electrical hardware and technologies.
