We are seeking a motivated Electromechanical Design Engineer I to design electrical and mechanical sub-assembly components of low-voltage power distribution equipment, including UL 891 switchboards, UL 508A industrial control panels, and UL 845 motor control centers (MCCs). This position involves developing electrical schematics, creating 3D models of electrical enclosures and busbar systems, and preparing detailed engineering drawings for manufacturing. The ideal candidate will have prior hands-on experience creating electrical schematics and working with 3D mechanical CAD software. This individual will collaborate to develop accurate, production-ready designs while interpreting UL standards for electrical equipment manufacturing. With special emphasis on design for manufacture (DFM). This position will require operating in the SolidWorks ecosystem including Schematic and 3D.

What you'll do:

Electrical Design & Schematics

Create and modify electrical single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, control schematics, and connection diagrams.

Developing sub-assembly level electrical designs for switchboards, motor control centers, and industrial control panels.

Prepare electrical component layouts and wiring documentation.

Component selection, including circuit breakers, contactors, motor starters, transformers, and protective devices for sub-assembly application.

Update electrical drawings based on engineering revisions and customer requirements.

Collaborate to ensure electrical designs meet applicable standards and specifications.

3D Mechanical Design & Enclosure Modeling

Create 3D CAD models of electrical enclosures, switchboard assemblies, and MCC structures.

Develop models of sheet-metal components, mounting plates, doors, covers, brackets, and internal supports.

Prepare detailed 2D fabrication drawings from 3D models.

Design enclosure layouts, equipment placement, and mechanical assembly drawings.

Develop sheet-metal flat patterns and drawings for manufacturing.

Revise designs to address fabrication requirements and assembly considerations.

Busbar Design

Develop 3D models of copper and aluminum busbar arrangements.

Prepare busbar fabrication drawings, including dimensions, hole locations, bends, and mounting details.

Model busbar supports, insulators, and connection assemblies.

Coordinate busbar layouts with enclosure designs and electrical component locations.

Maintain up to date understanding of applicable electrical clearance, current-carrying, and short-circuit bracing requirements under senior engineering supervision.

Engineering & Manufacturing Support

Prepare and maintain engineering drawings and bills of materials (BOMs).

Develop manufacturing drawing packages.

Coordinate with fabrication, assembly, and production personnel to resolve drawing-related issues.

Incorporate engineering revisions and manufacturing feedback.

Support senior engineers with design reviews, documentation, and project requirements.

Training Requirements

General safety training required by the company.

Electrical safety awareness training, if the role will be near energized equipment.

What you bring:

Required Qualifications

Education

Bachelor's of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering from an ABET accredited University.

Prior hands-on experience creating electrical schematics and wiring diagrams is required.

Experience in designing for UL 891, UL 508A, and UL 845 compliance.

Experience developing 3D CAD models of mechanical components or assemblies.

Basic understanding of electrical circuits, power distribution, and industrial control equipment.

Basic knowledge of busbar design and power distribution equipment.

Familiarity with the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Familiarity with mechanical drawings, dimensions, tolerances, and manufacturing processes.

Ability to interpret electrical diagrams and mechanical engineering drawings.

CAD Software

Working proficiency in AutoCAD or AutoCAD Electrical, or comparable electrical drafting software.

Ability to produce accurate 2D engineering drawings and 3D models.

Preferred Qualifications

Working proficiency in SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, or comparable 3D mechanical design software.

Experience working for a switchboard, switchgear, MCC, or industrial control panel manufacturer.

Exposure to sheet-metal enclosure design or electrical equipment fabrication.

Experience preparing fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and bills of materials.

Experience working in a custom electrical equipment manufacturing environment.

Physical Demands/ Work Environment:

Physical Demands

Regularly required to sit for extended periods and to use a computer, keyboard, mouse, and multiple monitors for CAD design and drawing work.

Regularly required to stand, walk, bend, reach, and stoop, including while on the production floor.

Frequently required to lift and move light materials, such as drawings, binders, and small components, up to 10–15 lbs.

Occasionally required to lift or move up to 25–50 lbs, such as sample parts, busbar sections, or component assemblies.

Must be able to read detailed drawings and schematics on screen and in print. Specific vision abilities include close vision and the ability to distinguish colors.

Must be able to communicate in person, by phone, and by video with coworkers and production staff.

Occasionally required to climb, kneel, or crouch to inspect equipment, such as switchboards, MCC sections, or enclosures under assembly.

Work Environment

Work is performed primarily in an office environment.

Regular time (for example 10–25%) in a production and manufacturing environment, with exposure to noise, metal fabrication (laser, punch, bend, weld), dust, and moving equipment.

Must wear required personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, hearing protection, and safety shoes, when on the shop floor.

Occasional site visits or travel, only if applicable
