Power the data centers, hospitals, and other mission-critical facilities of tomorrow-designing both rugged rental products and stationary generator-set packages that keep them online. As an Electrical Project Engineer, you'll work in a unique manufacturing and dealer environment, leveraging expert-level AutoCAD and Inventor skills to craft low- and medium-voltage AC layouts, DC controls, and the logic that ties multiple gensets into advanced paralleling switchgear and smart control panels. Juggle multiple high-impact projects, troubleshoot in the test cell, and serve as the go-to authority for production teams and customers alike-making an outsized impact alongside a collaborative squad of engineers, sales pros, and suppliers.

• 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.
• Leverage Caterpillar engineering resources
  • Retrieve and interpret factory application guides, PID data, and software updates; ensure the latest revisions are embedded in each project.
• Enable precise estimating
  • 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.

Education & Experience

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering (preferred) - or at least ten years of hands-on experience in the engine-driven power-generation industry or a closely related technology field with design engineering experience for 5+ years.
• Military veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.

Technical Expertise

• Proficiency with Caterpillar toolsets (CAT ET, CAT Monitoring Software, SIS Web, TMI, EDDC) is highly desirable.
• Working knowledge of diesel- and natural-gas generator sets is preferred; familiarity with lithium-ion energy-storage systems is a plus.
• Thorough understanding of relevant codes and standards-NFPA 70/110, NEC, NEMA, UL, IEEE.
• Expert-level 2D drafting in AutoCAD; 3D modeling experience required (Inventor preferred, or comparable platforms accepted).
• Exposure to generator paralleling switchgear, remote-fuel supply, and remote-cooling systems is preferred.

Other Requirements

• Valid driver's license with a clean record (no more than two minor violations in the last three years and no major violations in the last five years). A motor vehicle driving record check will be conducted for the final candidate.
