    Job Description

    Is this you?

    • Do you think in schematics and panel layouts?
    • Have you balanced breaker/fuse coordination curves and wire sizing to perfection?
    • Can you translate a concept into a fully certified build that passes hipot and functional testing on the first go?

    Your Mission

    Own the design and delivery of industrial control cabinets that are robust, code-compliant, and production-ready. Collaborate across mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing functions to ship safe, reliable systems.

    What You Will Do

    • Engineer industrial control panels that comply with NEC (NFPA 70) and UL 508A.
    • Produce complete EPLAN (or equivalent) schematics, panel layouts, and BOMs.
    • Select connectors, wire harnesses, branch protection (breakers, fuses), and power conversion (drives, transformers, rectifiers).
    • Specify and validate designs for up to 600V AC and 2000V DC.
    • Guide third-party panel fabricators from design transfer through acceptance.
    • Plan and execute high-voltage testing: hipot, insulation resistance, and functional verification.
    • Partner with mechanical teams on enclosure choice, thermal strategy, and integration.
    • Lead DFMEA contributions, identifying risks and mitigation actions.

    What You Bring

    • BS in EE/ME (5+ years) or MS (3+ years) in a relevant field.
    • Fluency with EPLAN or comparable panel design tools.
    • Demonstrated experience delivering to NEC and UL 508A.
    • Practical high-voltage testing experience with rigorous safety practices.
    • Mastery of branch circuit protection coordination, wire sizing, and power conversion fundamentals.
    • Track record managing vendors through fabrication and acceptance.
    • Comfort with PLM (Arena, Teamcenter), Jira, and Jama.
    • Self-directed, able to drive projects with minimal oversight.

    Bonus Points

    • Work in a UL 508A Recognized Panel Shop or hands-on UL listing experience.
    • NFPA 70E certification or arc flash study background.
    • Exposure to industrial automation, EV charging, energy storage, or semiconductor tools.
    • ETAP experience for protection coordination simulations.

    Proficiencies

    • 120/208/240/480 V systems
    • DFM/DFA
    • Mechanical design & engineering, blueprint reading
    • EPLAN

    Tools You’ll Touch

    • CAD: AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Catia, Pro-E / Creo, Siemens NX
    • PLC systems

    Why This Role

    You’ll be the technical steward ensuring panels move from well-structured schematics and BOMs to hardware that’s safe, thermally sound, and easy to assemble—every time.
