Electrical Drafter

About the role

The Electrical Drafter supports the Applications design and documentation of power distribution products and integrated electrical systems, including control panels, panelboards, switchgear, skids, ePods, and other custom equipment packages. This role works closely with Application Engineers to translate layouts, schematics, engineering markups, customer requirements, vendor information, and production feedback into accurate drawings.

Key Responsibilities

• Create, revise, and maintain electrical drawings using CAD tools such as AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar design platforms.
• Develop and update one-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, control schematics, interconnect drawings, cable schedules, device layouts, and related electrical documentation under engineering direction.
• Read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, customer specifications, vendor drawings, and engineering markups.
• Convert design concepts, sketches, and engineer markups into complete, accurate, and manufacturable drawing packages.
• Work closely with Applications Engineers to support design reviews, drawing standards, and design decisions.
• Aid in the development of bills of materials (BOMs) for designed products, ensuring part numbers, quantities, device tags, ratings, and drawing references align with project requirements.
• Support designs for control panels, panelboards, switchgear, switchboards, low-voltage distribution equipment, medium-voltage equipment, and auxiliary electrical systems as applicable.
• Maintain drawing revisions, as released documentation, engineering change updates, and project drawing packages in accordance with internal standards.
• Review drawings for accuracy, consistency, completeness, and alignment with submittal drawings requirements.

Qualifications

• Associate degree, technical certificate, drafting/design certificate, electrical technology background, or equivalent practical experience.
• Minimum of 2 years of electrical CAD, electrical design, drafting, manufacturing design, industrial design, power distribution, automation, construction documentation, or similar experience.
• Strong CAD skills. Experience with AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, and/or SolidWorks Electrical is preferred; experience with other electrical or mechanical design tools will also be considered.
• Basic understanding of electrical components such as breakers, fuses, relays, contactors, CTs/PTs, terminal blocks, transformers, panelboards, control panels, ATS equipment, UPS equipment, and switchgear components.
• Experience creating or maintaining drawing packages, BOMs, drawing revisions, and production support documentation.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and ability to manage multiple design tasks at once.
• Ability to work collaboratively with engineers, procurement, project management, production, quality, and field support team.

Preferred Qualifications

• A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related field is a plus but not required.
• Experience with UL 508A control panels, industrial control panels, panelboards, switchboards, or switchgear design.
• Familiarity with electrical standards and codes such as NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 70E, IEEE C37 series, IEEE 1584, UL 508A, UL 891, UL 1558, UL 857, and UL 67.
• Experience supporting low-voltage or medium-voltage power distribution equipment.

Physical Requirements

• Prolonged periods standing on the manufacturing floor and sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Must be able to lift up to twenty-five pounds at times.
• Prolonged periods sitting, standing, walking, and performing repetitive tasks.

Work Environment

• May work in various settings at the Maverick Power facilities, in offices, in multiple shops, and in commercial buildings.
