This position is best suited to someone who enjoys a variety of new challenges, a hands-on environment and will accept the challenges and reap the benefits of working with a team that likes to solve difficult problems for our customers. You will have an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to electrical design pertaining to Electrical Switchboard & Switchgear in both the North American (UL) and European (IEC) markets.

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES

Proven exposure and track record as follows:

• Proven experience in a related position / comparable role involving exposure to design engineering and managing multiple ongoing projects
• Bachelor of Engineering College Degree (Electrical)
• Proven understanding of UL standards including but not limited to UL 1558, UL 891, UL 489 & UL 1066.
• Aptitude for problem solving and ability to apply this to electrical control design
• An adaptability to respond to a fast-moving business environment.
• Accuracy and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Display a proactive flexible approach to working within a team environment.

Reporting to the Director of Product Management this position presents an excellent opportunity for a qualified professional pertaining to electrical design and controls engineering functions of power distribution equipment. Responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Work with Electrical design team and CAD in the preparation of detailed design drawings and documentation.
• In depth review of tender information including specifications, single line diagrams and quotations to ensure compliance with customer requirements
• Creation and review of electrical design drawings compiled by design engineers as well as coaching and mentoring junior members of the team
• Contribute to the development of new practices and processes within design team and assist in implementation of these to improve order engineering department performance (reduced cycle time and faster releases to the production floor)
• Using knowledge of NEC and UL standards to ensure products are designed to comply with all relevant regulations and standards (as well as Vertiv product structure)
• Work with the Application Engineering team (pricing & sales) to ensure a design has been created that is cost effective while, meets customer’s requirements and is optimized for design for manufacturing.
• Support Application Engineering (pricing) to ensure that the quotation meets and exceeds all aspects of the customer’s requirements. When exceptions are taken engineer solutions that still provide the intent of the design and clearly articulate how the exception complies with the intent.
• Create customer prototype designs that support the quotation process and securing the order. These prototype design then become the basis of design to hand off to order engineering for project execution and delivery.
• Development of software for control equipment and creation of test scripts to prove out functionality of control schemes. This can then be handed off to order engineering for final design and ultimately operation test on the production floor before shipping to the customer.
• As a part of the R&D team this role will also take customer facing design schemes and apply the lessons learned to new product development activities.
• Codes and Standards activities are also critical and there may be opportunities to represent Vertiv on NFPA (NEC) panels to influence the electrical code in the USA.
• Work with purchasing and operations to create electrical component selection methodology that allows for late-stage configuration of components. This enables stocking strategies and final component configuration in the plant preinstallation.
• Support in the creation of a knowledgebase / item master that feeds the Vertiv configuration and pricing tool.
