• Review customer specifications and translate technical requirements into accurate engineering deliverables.
• Support product development, configuration changes, and design verification from concept through production.

2. Engineering & Production Support

• Provide technical support to Manufacturing, Production, Testing, and Quality teams.
• Troubleshoot electrical design, wiring, controls, and equipment performance issues.
• Prepare and implement engineering change requests and drawing revisions.
• Participate in design reviews, prototype builds, and factory acceptance testing.
• Identify opportunities to improve safety, reliability, manufacturability, and cost.

3. Documentation & Compliance

• Maintain controlled electrical drawings, BOMs, specifications, and revision records.
• Design to applicable customer requirements and relevant UL, NEC, NFPA, IEEE, and ANSI standards.
• Support document control, engineering change processes, and product certification activities.
• Develop technical work instructions, test procedures, and assembly documentation.
• Support inspection, validation, and verification of electrical equipment.

4. Project Coordination

• Coordinate assigned electrical engineering deliverables to meet project schedules.
• Collaborate with Purchasing and suppliers on component selection and technical issues.
• Support Project Managers with technical requirements, changes, and customer questions.
• Evaluate alternative components and value engineering opportunities.
• Communicate design status, technical risks, and changes to stakeholders.

5. Team Support

• Work cross-functionally with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Sales, and Operations.
• Support training for production teams on electrical drawings, wiring, and product changes.
• Contribute to engineering standards, process improvements, and lessons learned.
• Support customer visits, technical reviews, and factory acceptance testing as needed.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• Experience with electrical power distribution equipment, switchgear, or industrial control panels preferred.
• Ability to read and develop electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, and BOMs using AutoCAD Electrical or similar tools.
• Knowledge of relevant electrical codes and standards; experience with ERP/MRP systems preferred.
• Strong electrical troubleshooting, communication, analytical, and cross-functional problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work in a manufacturing environment and occasionally lift up to 25 pounds.
