TL;DR · Electrical Design Engineer, Electric Power

JOB TITLE: Electrical Design Engineer - Electric Power The Electrical Design Engineer joins the North American Diesel Solutions Engineering team to develop innovative electrical subsystem solutions for industry-leading products. This role involves the design, development, and validation of electrical subsystems that meet regulatory requirements and business objectives. Key responsibilities include leading technical activities from requirements definition through product implementation, providing technical guidance on regulatory standards, and communicating results to global customers and suppliers. The successful candidate will utilize Computer-Aided Design and Engineering tools to produce and simulate product design drafts. Required skills include analytical thinking, product design knowledge, and the ability to build three-dimensional models. The role addresses technical challenges in the electric power sector, specifically focusing on diesel engine and genset electrical design, AC power distribution, and DC system design.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and validate electrical subsystems that meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
  • Lead technical activities from initial requirements definition through to final product implementation.
  • Build three-dimensional models and use automated tools to design or modify product components.
  • Test and evaluate alternative means of production and build complex product prototypes.
  • Provide technical guidance on regulatory standards, product requirements, and new design ideas.
  • Monitor complex product design processes to ensure all functional requirements are met.
  • Control design and development costs through effective resource coordination and improvement plans.
  • Communicate technical results and design trade-offs to global customers, suppliers, and internal teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or Electrical Engineering Technology.
  • Knowledge of technology and application methods to provide solutions to significant technical challenges.
  • Extensive experience in analytical thinking to determine root causes and quantify costs, benefits, and risks.
  • Extensive experience in CAD/CAE tools to produce, analyze, simulate, and test product design drafts.
  • Extensive experience in product design to convert customer requirements into functional product designs.
  • Working knowledge of product design and development to build 3D models and complex prototypes.
  • Experience with ProE/Creo electrical programs (preferred).
  • Experience with electrical codes (UL, NEC, CSA), engine/genset design, AC/DC systems, and FMEA (preferred).
