The CREO Electrical Design Specialist is responsible for developing and maintaining production-ready electrical designs for OEM equipment used in data center and mission-critical applications.
This position has a strong focus on PTC Creo and the integration of electrical systems into the complete 3D product definition. The role supports the development of electrical equipment layouts, electrical components, cable and wire harness routing, assemblies, drawings, BOMs, and associated manufacturing documentation.
Working closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and Project Engineering, the Electrical Equipment Designer ensures designs are accurate, code-compliant, manufacturable, serviceable, standardized, and fully integrated into the overall equipment design.
Key Responsibilities:
What you will do:
- Develop electrical equipment designs using PTC Creo, including 3D component placement, assemblies, cable routing, and wire harnesses.
- Create and maintain production-ready 3D models, drawings, harness documentation, and BOMs.
- Integrate electrical components into complex equipment assemblies while considering fit, clearance, accessibility, manufacturability, and serviceability.
- Develop cable and wire harness routing, connector definitions, termination points, and manufacturing documentation.
- Ensure designs meet applicable CEC, NEC, UL, CSA, customer, and EDE standards.
- Support design reviews, engineering changes, prototype builds, and production issue resolution.
- Apply DFM/DFA principles to improve electrical installation, assembly, and repeatability.
- Support standardized Creo electrical components, libraries, templates, and design practices.
- Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and Production to deliver robust, production-ready designs.
What we are looking for:
- Diploma or degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering.
- Strong proficiency with PTC Creo or comparable 3D CAD software.
- Experience with electrical equipment design, 3D electrical integration, cable routing, or wire harness development.
- Ability to interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, engineering drawings, and technical specifications.
- Experience developing production drawings and structured BOMs.
- Understanding of electrical components, connectors, cables, terminal blocks, control devices, and electrical panels.
- Strong understanding of manufacturability, assembly, and engineering change control.
- Strong communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Creo Cabling and/or Creo Schematics.
- Experience developing 3D wire harnesses and flattened/nail-board harness drawings.
- Experience with Windchill PLM and SAP.
- Experience with data center, HVAC, modular equipment, industrial machinery, or other complex OEM products.
- Familiarity with CEC, NEC, UL, and CSA requirements.
- Experience with DFM/DFA, VAVE, modularization, or design standardization.
