Job description

Working under the direction of the NPD Manager the NPD Electrical Engineer II develops, designs, and validates new products with a primary focus on AutoCAD Electrical deliverables and rules-based product selection and configuration. The role builds scalable, automated drawings and BOMs, integrates design data between the configurator, CAD, and ERP, and supports verification and manufacturing readiness to meet schedule, quality, safety, and cost targets. The positions collaborates daily with Mechanical, Manufacturing/Production Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain and adheres to stage-gate processes and the company's Quality and Environmental Management Systems.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Rules Driven Design Automation -- Build/maintain AutoCAD Electrical templates, symbol libraries, parametric blocks, wire numbering/cross references, and drawing standards. Encode selection rules to automatically generate one lines, schematics, panel layouts, and BOMs from a configurator/rules engine.
• Electrical Design and Calculations -- Perform sizing and selection of power components (up to 600V 3-phase), short circuit/protection and conductor sizing, and low-voltage control wiring for relays/sensors/VFDs.
• Documentation & Change Control -- Produce and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, interconnects, and BOMs. Drive ECOs within PLM; collaborate with Supply Chain on alternates and cost.
• Verification and Release - Author electrical DVP&R test plans; execute bench/lab validation and support pilot builds. Participate in DFMEA/PFMEA and convert actions into design/test updates
• Compliance Collaboration -- Prepare drawing/component documentation to support Compliance (e.g., UL/CSA/IEC, EMC/EMI, and NEC/NFPA 70/70E). Coordinate submittals and follow ups with Compliance
• Manufacturing Support -- Partner with Production Engineering to ensure safety, manufacturability, testability, reliability, and cost targets are met. Triage build issues and implement corrective actions.
• Provide engineering performance data for the final product configuration in support of marketing literature development.
• Conforms to all Quality and Environmental Management System policies, objectives and obligations.
• Performs other related duties and responsibilities as assigned.

Qualifications

Areas of design engineering knowledge required include, but are not limited to:

• Three phase power up to ~600 V; low voltage control wiring; panel layout and wiring conventions.
• AutoCAD Electrical expertise (symbol libraries, parametric blocks, project properties, PLC I/O footprints, cross referencing, reports).
• Rules based configuration/CPQ or engineering rules engines; attribute mapping to drawings and BOMs.
• Working knowledge of UL/CSA/IEC, EMC/EMI fundamentals, and NEC/NFPA 70 & 70E

• Good communication skills
• High technical proficiency, intense focus on details, good organizational skills, and an ability to manage multiple projects in a stand-alone work environment.
• 3-5 years of experience and an Electrical Engineering or similar degree
