KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Electrical CAD Design & System Integration

• Independently develop and maintain electrical schematics, panel layouts, and wiring designs for complex industrial systems using EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical and/or Edge Electrical.
• Design and document power distribution, protection, grounding, and control circuits supporting power distribution and cooling platforms.
• Ensure electrical designs meet functional performance, safety, reliability and serviceability requirements across operating conditions.
• Resolve electrical packaging and integration challenges in coordination with mechanical layouts, thermal constraints and enclosure architectures.

Configuration Aware Design & Lifecycle Execution

• Execute configuration controlled electrical designs supporting multiple product variants, options and regional variations.
• Maintain stability and traceability of electrical designs as engineering changes are introduced.
• Implement engineering changes (ECR/ECNs) efficiently while preserving compliance, backward compatibility and production continuity.
• Ensure accurate synchronization between schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, BOMs and PLM system records throughout the product lifecycle.

Standards, Compliance & Safety

• Design electrical systems that are compliant with applicable IEC, UL and regional standards, as well as customer specific specifications.
• Apply sound engineering judgment to ensure electrical safety, fault protection, arc mitigation, grounding and clearance/creepage requirements.
• Support internal and external compliance activities by providing accurate documentation and responding to design related findings.

Panel Layout, Wiring & Manufacturing Support

• Develop detailed panel layouts including component placement, wire routing and labeling aligned with mechanical constraints and thermal considerations.
• Ensure wiring designs are manufacturable, accessible and service-friendly, with clear documentation for production.
• Support prototype builds, production ramp up and manufacturing issue resolution through direct design updates and clarifications.

Cross Functional Technical Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering to ensure electrical mechanical fit, clearance, airflow and thermal compatibility.
• Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and production teams to address build issues, component substitutions and all feedback.
• Participate in technical design reviews and release readiness activities as a senior technical contributor.
• Contribute through execution to the continuous improvement of electrical CAD practices, documentation clarity and configuration discipline.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
• 8+ years of hands-on electrical CAD design experience with industrial or infrastructure class equipment.
• Strong proficiency in EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical and/or Edge Electrical.
• Demonstrated experience designing power distribution and control systems for complex, multi-variant products.
• Working knowledge of IEC, UL, and regional electrical compliance requirements.
• Ability to independently execute and own complex electrical designs with minimal oversight.

Preferred Experience

• Electrical design experience for power and cooling systems, switchgear, transformers, busway, PDCs, CDUs, chillers, or thermally intensive infrastructure
