Electrical Engineer II
The Electrical Engineer II is responsible for the design, documentation and execution of medium- and low-voltage switchgear and power distribution projects.
This role will interpret customer requirements, develop complete electrical design packages and coordinate closely with engineering, project management and manufacturing teams to ensure projects are technically accurate, compliant and ready for production.
The position requires someone comfortable taking ownership of projects from order release through design completion and production support.
Responsibilities
• Design and review electrical systems including one-line diagrams, three-line diagrams and control schematics
• Develop power and control designs for medium- and low-voltage switchgear and related power distribution equipment
• Prepare submittal drawings, construction drawings, bills of material and equipment documentation
• Perform AC and DC load calculations for control power and backup systems
• Ensure designs meet applicable electrical codes, industry standards and project requirements
• Review customer specifications against quoted scope and equipment requirements
• Identify technical gaps, discrepancies or design issues before release to manufacturing
• Participate in internal design reviews and project readiness meetings
• Manage engineering changes, redlines and documentation revisions
• Prepare complete design packages for customer review and production release
• Coordinate with mechanical and applications engineering teams to ensure electrical and mechanical designs remain aligned
• Work closely with project management, sourcing and production teams throughout the project lifecycle
• Participate in customer technical discussions when clarification or design review is required
• Support technical problem solving during manufacturing and production
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes and standardize designs
• Provide technical guidance to junior engineers or designers when required
Requirements
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
• 3 to 7 years of relevant electrical or electro-mechanical engineering experience
• Experience working within manufacturing, switchgear, power distribution or a similar engineered-product environment
• Strong ability to develop and interpret electrical schematics, one-line and three-line diagrams
• Working knowledge of protection relays, utility metering, communications and circuit monitoring systems
• Experience with electrical CAD software and preparation of complete design packages
• Ability to manage multiple projects and changing priorities
• Strong documentation, coordination and problem-solving skills
• Proactive approach with accountability for assigned work
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications
Equivalent practical experience may be considered in place of formal education where appropriate.
Preferred Experience
• Experience with medium- and low-voltage metal-clad or metal-enclosed switchgear
• Familiarity with power distribution centers or similar packaged electrical systems
• Experience supporting prototype builds or early-stage production
• SolidWorks Electrical or similar CAD experience
• Familiarity with IEEE, UL, NEC and ANSI standards
• Experience working with ERP, BOM management or product data management systems
• Ability to support or mentor less experienced team members
