About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and technically skilled Electrical Control Design Engineer to join our growing engineering team. This role is ideal for someone with a passion for electrical design, automation systems, and control technologies. You will be responsible for creating precise electrical schematics, selecting components, and preparing technical documentation to support industrial automation and control systems.

This position requires hands-on experience with design software tools like AutoCAD and EPLAN, along with a solid understanding of electrical switchgear, actuators, and control panels. The role also involves performing field-specific calculations and working collaboratively with cross-functional teams including project managers, mechanical engineers, and manufacturing teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain electrical schematics, panel layouts, and wiring diagrams using AutoCAD and EPLAN (or equivalent design software).
• Prepare and manage the Bill of Materials (BOM) for various control systems and electrical components.
• Design and configure control panels, considering functionality, efficiency, and compliance with safety standards.
• Select and specify electrical switchgear, actuators, and other automation components based on application requirements.
• Perform technical calculations related to electrical engineering such as volumetric flow rates, pressure losses, and temperature variations to ensure optimal design and performance.
• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to ensure seamless integration of electrical designs with mechanical systems and automation processes.
• Ensure all designs adhere to industry standards, regulatory requirements, and customer specifications.
• Support manufacturing teams during panel assembly and troubleshooting stages, providing expert input when required.
• Participate in design reviews and provide feedback to enhance system performance and reliability.
• Assist in field commissioning activities as needed, including installation support and onsite design modifications.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Minimum 1+ year of experience in electrical control design or a similar role.
• Proficient in AutoCAD for electrical drafting and layout creation.
• Experience with EPLAN or similar advanced electrical design software is highly desirable.
• Solid knowledge of electrical switchgear, actuators, and industrial automation equipment.
• Familiarity with field-specific calculations (pressure drop, temperature variation, flow rates) in electrical and mechanical systems.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team and communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
• Good organizational skills and attention to detail.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in industrial automation, control systems, or machinery design environments.
• Exposure to international standards (IEC, UL, etc.) and electrical safety norms.
• Hands-on experience in control panel testing and troubleshooting.
