Electrical Engineer

The Electrical Engineer I serves as a key technical liaison between electrical design, engineering, and production teams. This role is responsible for interpreting electrical design intent, supporting production teams during all phases of build and testing, documenting changes, and ensuring the final product aligns with approved electrical schematics. The engineer will provide hands‑on oversight to ensure wiring layout quality, device placement accuracy, and proper implementation of electrical systems throughout the production lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

Design Coordination & Documentation

• Collaborate with engineering teams during early design phases to determine optimal equipment placement and ensure ease of access and maintenance.
• Maintain and distribute the most current versions of electrical drawings to production teams, ensuring outdated revisions are not used.
• Review proposed changes to electrical drawings and assist in evaluating their technical impact.
• Update electrical drawings (e.g., AutoCAD) to reflect approved deviations or as‑built conditions.

Production Support

• Work closely with production teams to plan routing of conduit, cables, and junction boxes.
• Assist in assessing proposed deviations from electrical drawings, ensuring changes improve safety, performance, or serviceability.
• Document all approved modifications during the build process to maintain accurate as‑built records.
• Troubleshoot electrical wiring and layout issues encountered during production.

Testing & Quality Assurance

• Perform point‑to‑point wiring tests and other relevant verification procedures.
• Compare test results to design documentation and ensure alignment with specifications.
• Support third‑party testing and respond to questions regarding wiring layout and device configuration.
• Validate test findings and incorporate required updates into final documentation.

Technical Support & Communication

• Provide input on needed electrical or electronic components required during production.
• Assist in developing accurate electrical functionality descriptions and instructions for user manuals.
• Communicate clearly across engineering, production, and quality teams to ensure alignment throughout the project timeline.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in electrical design within the power or related industry.
• Strong understanding of power systems, protection, and control.
• Proficiency in creating and editing electrical drawings using AutoCAD or similar tools.
• Experience working with electrical relays, wiring design, and testing procedures.
• Effective communication, problem‑solving, and documentation skills.
