Electrical Design Engineer

Essential Responsibilities

• Electrical Design & Documentation
• Develop and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and cabinet layouts for motor operator systems in accordance with company standards and applicable codes.
• Create and revise 2D/3D drawings and models using AutoCAD and SolidWorks for existing and new product designs.
• Generate and maintain engineering documentation, including specifications, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and revision-controlled drawings.
• Support engineering change activities, including design updates and documentation revisions.
• Support the development and refinement of printed circuit board (PCB) designs under the supervision of senior engineers.
• Aid in schematic capture, component placement reviews, and layout verification to ensure compliance with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturability requirements.
• Participate in PCB design reviews, providing input on component selection, signal routing considerations, grounding, and power distribution.
• Engineering Support & Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Work under the guidance of senior engineers on assigned design and development projects.
• Provide technical support to manufacturing and field installation teams, including design clarification, troubleshooting, and implementation support.
• Aid in component selection and alternate sourcing, evaluating form-fit-function and updating documentation as required.
• Prototyping, Testing & Validation
• Support the development of functional prototypes, samples, and demonstration units to validate design intent.
• Perform engineering verification and validation testing in the lab under supervision.
• Gain familiarity with ANSI, IEC and applicable industry standards and their application to product design and testing.
• Aid in verification and functional testing of new PCB designs, documenting results and observations.
• Continuous Improvement & Product Optimization
• Participate in product usability, reliability, and value improvement initiatives through the Value Improvement (VIP) system.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering processes, drafting standards, PCB design practices, and documentation workflows.
• Support continuous improvement efforts focused on manufacturability, quality, and lifecycle performance.

Minimum Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a closely related engineering field.
• Experience: 0–2 years of relevant engineering or technical experience (internships and co-ops acceptable).
• Ability to read, interpret, and develop electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
• Demonstrated proficiency with AutoCAD for electrical drafting and documentation.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team-based engineering environment.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and perform effectively in a fast-paced, manufacturing-oriented environment.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, Outlook).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SolidWorks and AutoCAD in an engineering or manufacturing environment.
• C, C++, Java is a plus.
• Working knowledge of electrical standards and codes, such as ANSI, UL, IEC, IEEE, or NEC (NFPA 70).
• Familiarity with PCB design fundamentals using tools such as Altium Designer, including schematic capture, layout concepts, and component libraries.
• Hands-on experience using electrical test equipment, such as multimeters and oscilloscopes.
• Exposure to industrial control systems, motor automation, switchgear, or panel design is desirable.
