    SUMMARY

    We are seeking an experienced Electrical Designer or Electrical Engineer to take ownership of the electrical backbone of our generator enclosures and control systems.  This is a pre-manufacturing design role. You’ll work closely with mechanical designers, project managers, and shop floor teams to make sure our electrical systems are rock solid before a single wire is pulled. You’ll be responsible for translating customer requirements and internal standards into accurate, build-ready electrical designs—including generator wiring diagrams, control panel layouts, conduit runs, and power distribution systems. Your work will be the blueprint for both production and electrical integration.

    • Collaborate with mechanical design and manufacturing teams to ensure complete, aligned documentation packages
    • Apply knowledge of NEC, UL508A, UL891, and UL1558 to designs and material selections
    • Prepare detailed BOMs and support panel and wiring integration
    • Review customer specs, evaluate feasibility, and ensure compliance
    • Participate in design reviews, internal QA checks, and continuous improvement feedback loops

    REQUIREMENTS

    • Strong proficiency in AutoCAD and/or SolidWorks (Electrical a plus)
    • Experience in generator systems, commercial MEP design, or similar industrial electrical environments
    • Ability to read, interpret, and produce detailed electrical drawings
    • Familiarity with NEC, UL508A, and UL891/1558 standards
    • Self-motivation, accountability, and the ability to work quickly without sacrificing quality
    • Power generation, backup systems, or switchgear experience is a plus
    • Degree in Electrical Engineering preferred; equivalent hands-on experience strongly considered
    • PE license not required but welcome
    • Primarily office/computer-based with periodic visits to the shop floor
    • Must be comfortable walking fabrication areas or reviewing in-progress work
    • Occasional travel possible for customer coordination or vendor engagement
