- Assist in developing power distribution and control circuits.
- Support electrical component selection, including:
- Circuit protection devices
- Transformers
- Power supplies
- Relays
- Terminal blocks
- PLC hardware
- Other control panel components
- Perform basic electrical calculations and engineering evaluations under the direction of an Electrical Engineer.
- Develop and update electrical schematics and panel layouts using EPLAN.
- Assist with drawing revisions, engineering changes, and documentation updates.
- Produce clear, accurate engineering documentation to support manufacturing.
- Gain experience creating build-ready electrical documentation used directly on the production floor.
- Gain practical exposure to UL 508A, NEC, and other applicable electrical standards.
- Assist engineers in verifying that component selections and panel designs meet applicable requirements.
- Learn how SCCR, heat dissipation, wire sizing, circuit protection, and physical layout considerations impact control panel design.
- Work directly with manufacturing personnel to resolve drawing and design questions during panel fabrication.
- Assist with electrical testing and troubleshooting of completed control panels.
- Support engineers with design updates and corrections identified during manufacturing and testing.
- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives related to engineering documentation, design practices, and manufacturability.
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Electrical Engineering.
- Sophomore or Junior standing preferred.
- Coursework or practical experience with basic electrical circuits, power distribution, and electrical systems.
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics or a strong willingness to learn.
- Basic understanding of electrical components such as circuit breakers, transformers, relays, power supplies, and control devices.
- Previous CAD experience preferred but not required.
- Experience with EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, or similar electrical design software is a plus.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing accurate engineering work.
- Strong problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, project managers, manufacturing personnel, and other team members.
- Self-motivated and capable of managing assigned tasks with appropriate guidance.
- Comfortable working in both office and manufacturing environments.
- Hands-on experience designing real industrial electrical control systems.
- Practical experience using EPLAN and creating production-ready engineering documentation.
- Exposure to UL 508A, NEC, and industrial control panel design requirements.
- Experience working directly with manufacturing, testing, and engineering teams.
- Understanding of how electrical designs progress from customer requirements through engineering, manufacturing, testing, and final production.
- Mentorship from experienced Electrical Engineers working on real customer projects.
- Work on high-quality, custom industrial control systems.
- Gain meaningful engineering experience rather than simply observing projects.
- Collaborate with experienced engineers and manufacturing professionals.
- Contribute to real-world projects from concept through production.
- Build practical skills that complement your university coursework and support your future career growth.
