- Select and specify electrical components, including CTs, VTs, protection relays, meters, FT switches, and circuit breakers.
- Collaborate with mechanical designers to optimize electrical component layouts.
- Provide technical support to manufacturing and quality teams to resolve design and production issues.
- Process engineering change orders (ECOs) using 3DEXPERIENCE.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable CSA, IEEE, and UL standards.
Qualifications
- Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology or a related discipline, including power engineering coursework.
- Minimum 7 years of experience in switchgear design.
- Strong knowledge of protection and control schematics and detailed wiring design for medium-voltage switchgear.
- Experience with electrical CAD tools such as Zuken E3, MicroStation, or Solid Edge.
- Knowledge of electrical protection relays, CTs, VTs, MV breakers, switches, and associated components.
- Experience with ERP systems, including Oracle and 3DEXPERIENCE.
