Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain electrical panel layouts and control panel designs for Battery Systems, UPS, and EMS products
- Create and revise electrical schematics using AutoCAD Electrical
- Generate and maintain BOMs directly from schematics, ensuring accuracy between design and procurement data
- Collaborate with electrical, controls, and mechanical engineers to incorporate design changes and resolve interferences
- Support drawing standardization, symbol libraries, and title block/template consistency across projects
- Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback from engineering and manufacturing
- Coordinate with suppliers and manufacturing on panel build questions and drawing clarifications
- Maintain revision control and documentation standards across schematic packages
Core Qualifications
- 7 plus years of control panel design experience, carrying complete drawing packages from concept through released production revision
- Strong working knowledge of AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN P8, including symbol libraries, project templates, and device tagging schemes
- PLC and I/O hardware design: I/O lists, module and rack selection, I/O allocation, 24VDC power budgeting, fusing and distribution, analog signal conditioning, shielding and grounding
- Network interface drawings: Ethernet and Modbus TCP topology, fiber and copper runs, managed switch and port assignments, IP address schedules, panel to panel communications
- Wiring detail: terminal block schedules, wire numbering conventions, cable and conduit schedules, interconnect and field wiring diagrams
- Component database management: part numbering, manufacturer and vendor data, obsolescence tracking, revision history
- Applied familiarity with NEC (NFPA 70) for panel, feeder, and overcurrent protection decisions, conductor sizing, and enclosure choices
- Practical UL 508A knowledge: SCCR determination and documentation, listed and recognized component selection, spacing and clearance, wire bending space, field wiring terminal markings
- Emergency stop and safety circuit design: dual channel monitored wiring, safety relay selection, NFPA 79 and ISO 13849 awareness, monitored contactors, reset logic
- Familiarity with switchgear interfaces: breaker close and trip control circuits, CT and PT wiring, 125VDC control power, interposing relays, permissives, interlocks
- New product development experience, ideally on smart AI UPS or similar power products, concept through prototype, verification, and production release with ECO and ECN discipline
Nice to Have
- Experience with both AutoCAD Electrical and EPLAN P8, or migrating a drawing standard between them
