Job Summary:

The Electrical Engineer I supports the design, development, and optimization of low and medium voltage power systems under the direction of senior engineers. The Electrical Engineer I develops foundational technical skills through guided participation in engineering tasks across the design, manufacturing, and testing phases.

Key Responsibilities:

Assist (and develop under guidance) in the engineering and design of switchboard and switchgear to customer specifications, supporting the development of detailed electrical designs for components under senior engineer direction.
Support the creation of drawings, elevations, and electrical schematics considering power distribution, protection, and control requirements.
Assist (and develop under guidance) in the specification and selection of electrical components (e.g., circuit breakers, relays, transformers) based on performance criteria, applicable standards, and project requirements.
Support the development of Sequences of Operation (SOO) documents and assist (and develop under guidance) in verifying system functionality against design intent.
Assist (and develop under guidance) senior engineers throughout the manufacturing and testing phases, supporting technical coordination for assigned equipment designs.
Support collaboration with test and field service teams to verify physical system operation against the final design and written SOO.
Assist (and develop under guidance) with Factory Witness Tests (FWT) by supporting troubleshooting activities and communicating observations to the engineering team.
Provide engineering and technical support to manufacturing under the direction of senior engineers, contributing to the optimization of production and industrial engineering practices.
Support assigned project tasks within the design and validation phases, assisting (and developing under guidance) with technical coordination between procurement and production as directed.
Assist (and develop under guidance) the engineering team in supporting Sales and Project Management with technical inquiries and proposal preparation.
Participate in Engineering Review meetings, developing familiarity with client and regulatory specifications as they apply to switchgear and switchboard design.
Support the development and maintenance of design calculators and internal tools, contributing to engineering workflow improvement efforts.

Qualifications:

Entry-level or early-career experience in Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field required.
Previous field service exposure or coursework in power systems is a plus.
Familiarity with automation, test systems, or electrical assemblies is preferred.

Core Competencies:

Foundational knowledge of applicable electrical standards, including UL, NEC, ANSI, IEEE, and other relevant standards related to switchgear and switchboard electrical design.
Developing knowledge of power distribution systems, switchgear, switchboards, controls, and complex distribution systems.
Basic proficiency or coursework experience with electrical design tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks Electrical, or EPLAN.
