  • Analyze customer applications and specifications to design various panels.
  • Create mechanical layouts, single line, three line, schematic, power, and control diagrams.
  • Develop bills of materials, engineering instructions, and wiring drawings.
  • Take full technical execution responsibility for assigned projects and discuss design requirements with customers and drafting support teams.
