• Produce comprehensive wiring schematics, conduit schedules, and panel layouts in AutoCAD and Inventor for diesel and natural gas gensets, ensuring every reference, layer, and legend is unambiguous.

• Size and specify breakers, relays, PLC/HMI hardware, and interface circuits that integrate seamlessly with low to medium-voltage paralleling switchgear and DC control systems.

• Audit project drawings, vendor prints, and specifications against UL, NFPA 70/110, ISO, and customer standards; log variances and close them before release.

• Diagnose elusive startup, commissioning, and controls problems for technicians through root-cause-based recommendations that feed back into design libraries to improve the product.

• Translate application questions into concise recommendations and solutions and document in formal engineering notes.

• Maintain production continuity
  • Follow standard protocols and proven design protocols to ensure consistent high-quality products that meet or exceed customer requirements.
• Manage the submittal dossier
  • Assemble, index, and track all drawings, studies, and data sheets through the approval cycle; document every revision for full traceability.

  • Deliver dimensioned one-lines, BOMs, and labor take-offs to the Sales team so quotes reflect real scope, margin, and risk.
• Design for the exceptional case
  • Apply first-principles analysis to bespoke components or control sequences required by unique site conditions or regulatory environments.
• Control the critical path
  • Use tools and milestone checklists to keep engineering actions on time, document slippage causes, and propose corrective actions proactively.
• Adapt as requirements evolve
  • When priorities shift, re-baseline drawings, calculations, designs, and priorities so the entire team works from a single source of truth.

If precision, thorough documentation, and methodical problem-solving are how you create value, this role will let you practice your craft at a high level of electrical engineering discipline.
