• Produce complete and accurate project documentation, including bills of material (BOMs), system tagging, and wire labeling schedules.
• Develop and enhance AutoCAD Electrical tools to improve design standardization, accuracy, and efficiency.
• Create, maintain, and optimize AutoLISP routines to automate repetitive design tasks.
• Maintain and continuously improve electrical CAD libraries, templates, and drafting standards.
• Deploy new design tools and provide guidance or training to peer electrical designers as needed.
• Review and validate electrical designs to ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and project specifications.
• Support design reviews and collaborate with project and controls engineers to resolve technical issues.

Required Qualifications

• Associate degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Drafting and Design, or a related discipline.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in electrical design, preferably in a project‑based or systems‑integration environment.
• Advanced proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical.
• Experience developing and maintaining AutoLISP scripts.
• Strong working knowledge of electrical standards and codes (e.g., NEC, IEC).
• High attention to detail with strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills and the ability to collaborate across disciplines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting PLC‑based control systems and industrial automation projects.
• Familiarity with additional electrical design platforms such as EPLAN or Solid Works Electrical.
• Exposure to ERP systems, engineering change management processes, or document control workflows.
