Job description

We are seeking a technically rigorous Electrical Engineer with deep expertise in low- and medium-voltage power distribution systems within a switchgear OEM or equipment manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in switchgear, motor control centers (MCCs), transformers, and mission-critical infrastructure such as data centers, along with working knowledge of UL508A industrial control panel design.

This position focuses primarily on power distribution engineering, with control panel integration serving as a supporting capability.

Required Responsibility

• Power Distribution Systems (Primary Focus)
• Design, engineer, and support the manufacturing of:
• Low- and medium-voltage switchgear (UL891, UL1558)
• Switchboards and panelboards (UL67)
• Motor Control Centers (MCCs)
• Distribution transformers (dry-type and liquid-filled)
• Develop and review single-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, and interconnection drawings.
• Perform:
• Short circuit analysis
• Arc flash hazard analysis (IEEE 1584)
• Load flow and voltage drop calculations
• Ensure proper equipment SCCR alignment and bus bracing requirements.
• Evaluate breaker selection, trip units, and coordination schemes.
• Support equipment submittals, factory testing, and customer technical reviews.
• Interface with utilities, consulting engineers, EPC firms, and data center operators.
• Support FAT, commissioning, and field troubleshooting when required.

Industrial Control Systems (Secondary Focus – UL508A)

• Design and review UL508A control panels associated with switchgear and MCC applications.
• Generate control schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts.
• Perform SCCR calculations in accordance with UL508A.
• Integrate PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, protective relays, and monitoring systems.
• Support UL inspection requirements and maintain panel compliance documentation.
• Provide technical support to manufacturing teams for proper control wiring practices.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in power distribution engineering.
• Demonstrated experience in:
• Switchgear and switchboard design
• MCC systems
• Transformer applications
• Data center power distribution architecture
• Working knowledge of UL508A control panel design.
• Strong knowledge of:
• NEC (NFPA 70)
• NFPA 70E
• IEEE 1584 (arc flash)
• IEEE 242 (coordination)
• Experience with SKM, ETAP, EasyPower, AutoCAD Electrical, or similar tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a switchgear OEM manufacturing environment.
• UL508A MTR (Manufacturer Technical Representative).
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or EIT certification not required but would be a bonus
• Experience with Tier III / Tier IV data center infrastructure.
• Knowledge of UL98, UL1066, and protective relay integration.
• Strong understanding of short circuit withstand ratings and bus bracing.
• Expertise in protective device coordination and selective coordination strategies.
• Clear understanding of upstream/downstream equipment rating relationships.
• Practical knowledge of grounding, bonding, and fault current pathways.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, and field service teams.
• Detail-oriented with a compliance-driven engineering mindset.

Must be authorized to work in the US, this is not a remote position, hybrid schedule will be considered after six months.
