R&D Electrical/Controls Manager

Munters is a global leader in climate solutions for mission-critical processes. We offer innovative, efficient and sustainable solutions for customers in industries where controlling indoor humidity, temperature and energy efficiency is mission critical. Climate control systems often account for a large percentage of energy consumption in many of our customers’ operations. With an optimal climate system, we can help them to more efficiently use energy or water resources and thereby reduce their climate and environmental impact.

Sustainability is an important part of Munters’ business strategy and value creation. We pride ourselves on fostering a dynamic and inclusive work environment where interns are valued members of the team and are given meaningful projects to work on.

The Electrical Panel Design Engineer will be responsible for developing and maintaining intelligent electrical panel designs for Munters chiller and data center products. This role will establish and implement a standardized panel design methodology using AutoCAD Electrical, with a focus on generating accurate electrical design data that can support panel manufacturing, BOM generation, wiring-kit development, and future wiring automation. The role will also support the evaluation and implementation of Solid Works Electrical as a potential long-term platform for integrating electrical and mechanical design.

This position requires a highly experienced electrical panel designer with strong practical knowledge of industrial control panels, intelligent electrical CAD, electrical component libraries, and manufacturing requirements. The individual must be capable of developing panel layouts using actual manufacturer component models, including vendor STEP files, while ensuring designs are practical, manufacturable, and automation ready.

• Develop detailed electrical panel layouts for chiller and other data center products using AutoCAD Electrical.
• Create intelligent panel designs using actual electrical components and manufacturer data, including vendor STEP/3D models where appropriate.
• Develop and maintain electrical component libraries, footprints, symbols, and associated intelligent design data.
• Establish standardized panel layout practices for component placement, DIN rail, Panduit, wiring, terminal blocks, clearances, mounting, and manufacturability.
• Ensure panel designs accurately reflect the components and configurations required for production.
• Work closely with Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Product Engineering, Project Engineering, and Production to ensure designs are complete and production-ready.
• Incorporate production and first-build feedback into controlled design updates and continuously improve panel designs.

• Develop panel design methodologies that provide the electrical data required to support automated wiring-kit generation and production.
• Establish the design data structure necessary to capture wire connectivity, terminal information, component identification, wire types, wire sizes, labeling, and related manufacturing information.
• Work with the R&D team to develop the interface between electrical panel design and Komax wiring automation.
• Help eliminate manual post-release development of wiring kits by ensuring required wiring information is captured as part of the electrical design process.
• Support the longer-term objective of extending automated wiring data from panel wiring to complete system wiring harnesses.
