Apply to Electrical Engineer I

About the role

An industrial automation employer is seeking an early-career electrical engineer to help prepare and maintain the electrical documentation used to build automated equipment and production systems. Working with the Controls Engineering Manager and experienced engineers, you will complete assigned design work, use established engineering methods, and build practical knowledge of machine electrical standards. AutoCAD Electrical and accurate hardware documentation are central to this position.

Responsibilities

Plan assigned work with your manager and mentors, track deadlines, and raise questions, technical concerns, or schedule issues promptly.
Help develop machine electrical designs that balance safe operation, reliability, serviceability, ease of fabrication, and installed cost. Evaluate components according to project needs without relying on a single supplier.
Use customer requirements, equipment layouts, controls architecture, and input/output information to prepare electrical deliverables with engineering guidance.
Produce and revise schematics, enclosure layouts, distribution and network drawings, I/O documentation, material lists, cable and terminal schedules, device identification, and installation details in AutoCAD Electrical or comparable software.
Document power distribution, motors and drives, control and safety circuits, industrial communications, grounding, bonding, and field wiring within your assigned scope.
Coordinate electrical interfaces and component needs with mechanical and controls engineers, purchasing, production, quality, panel builders, and service personnel.
Participate in reviews, record decisions and technical risks, check drawings and material lists, and resolve reviewer comments before release.
Use approved CAD templates, symbols, component libraries, checklists, and engineering tools. Maintain drawing revisions in the product data management system.
Support engineering change requests, orders, and notices. Follow ISO 9001 procedures and requirements for configuration control, document release, inspection, and process improvement.
Assist with panel construction, equipment wiring, inspections, factory acceptance testing, installation, and drawing-related troubleshooting under engineering supervision.
Update the electrical content of operating and maintenance manuals, including parts data, inspection instructions, troubleshooting guidance, and spare-parts recommendations.
Complete other appropriate assignments from the manager and travel when required. Candidates must be able to obtain and retain a U.S. government security clearance.

Education and experience

Candidates may qualify through any of these education and experience combinations:

A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electrical engineering technology, automation engineering, mechatronics, or a related field, with zero to two years of relevant machine electrical design experience.
An associate degree in electrical design or a related technical field, with at least three years of directly relevant machine electrical design experience.
A high school diploma or equivalent, with at least five years of directly relevant machine electrical design experience.

Required capabilities

Practical ability to create and read machine electrical drawings and supporting documentation using AutoCAD Electrical or a comparable application.
Basic understanding of machine power systems, control and safety circuits, motors and drives, grounding and bonding, wire sizing, and overcurrent protection.
Introductory knowledge of NFPA 79 and UL 508A, with awareness of NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, and machine safety considerations.
Familiarity with revision control and engineering change workflows, including ECRs, ECOs, and ECNs.
Exposure to selecting electrical components, calculating loads, sizing conductors and protective devices, laying out panels, inspecting panels, or marking up drawings. Experience may come from work, internships, coursework, labs, or technical projects.
Ability to translate approved requirements and engineering direction into accurate documentation that production teams can use.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Outlook, and Teams, with particular strength in Excel and PowerPoint.
Careful organization, attention to detail, dependable follow-through, and sound judgment about when to seek help.
Clear communication with engineering colleagues, technicians, electricians, panel builders, suppliers, and other project contributors.
A collaborative approach, openness to feedback, practical problem-solving skills, and an interest in improving CAD methods, standards, libraries, and release processes.

Helpful additional experience

Familiarity with industrial electrical and control products from established manufacturers, such as Rockwell Automation, Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, Eaton, Phoenix Contact, WAGO, Rittal, or nVent HOFFMAN, and the ability to compare alternatives for a project.
Work involving automated equipment, system integration, panel building, motor and drive systems, or industrial communications.
Interest in regulated manufacturing applications, including defense, energetics, hazardous locations, robotics, or high-speed automation.

Invitation to Self-Identify as a Veteran

This employer is a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA), which requires Government contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment: (1) disabled veterans; (2) recently separated veterans; (3) active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans; and (4) Armed Forces service medal veterans. These classifications are defined as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following:
- a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or
- a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran’s discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed above, please indicate by checking the appropriate box below.

As a Government contractor subject to VEVRAA, we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Why are you being asked to complete this form?
We are a federal contractor or subcontractor required by law to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We are also required to measure our progress toward having at least 7% of our workforce be individuals with disabilities.

Because a person may become disabled at any time, we ask all of our employees to update their information at least every five years.

Identifying yourself as an individual with a disability is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer will be maintained confidentially and not be seen by selecting officials or anyone else involved in making personnel decisions. Completing the form will not negatively impact you in any way, regardless of whether you have self-identified in the past. For more information about this form or the equal employment obligations of federal contractors under Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
