About the Role

We're seeking an experienced Electrical CAD Designer to support a major upgrade project at a large-scale scientific research facility. In this role, you'll develop detailed electrical designs, schematics, models, and supporting documentation that translate engineering concepts into manufacturable products supporting engineering, manufacturing, assembly, and installation activities for a cutting-edge accelerator upgrade.

This is a hands-on, on-site position working closely with electrical and mechanical engineers, project managers, and other technical staff.

What You'll Do

Electrical CAD Design

Create and maintain electrical models, wiring diagrams, schematics, and panel layouts using approved CAD software (AutoCAD Electrical, Autodesk Inventor, KiCad, or similar)

Review and revise designs based on engineering feedback, design reviews, and approved engineering changes

Manufacturing and Assembly Documentation

Generate bills of materials, wire and cable lists, and supporting documentation for manufacturing and assembly activities

Prepare documentation with sufficient detail to support manufacturing, assembly, or installation

Engineering Coordination and Design Integration

Collaborate with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, project managers, and other project personnel to ensure designs meet technical requirements and integrate with applicable product assemblies

Participate in design coordination and design-review activities as requested

Design Standards and Document Control

Perform work in accordance with applicable industry standards, codes, and internal quality requirements

Maintain organized design files, libraries, and revision-controlled documentation within Windchill or similar systems

Deliverables May Include

Electrical CAD models

Electrical schematics

Wiring diagrams

Panel layouts

Bills of Materials (BOMs)

Wire and cable schedules

Manufacturing and assembly documentation

Engineering drawing revisions

Revision-controlled design documentation

Design packages supporting fabrication, assembly, testing, or installation

Qualifications

Required

Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Drafting/Design, or a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience

Minimum of 5 years of professional experience producing electrical CAD designs using Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD Electrical, KiCad, or equivalent software

Demonstrated experience developing manufacturing-ready electrical documentation, including schematics, wiring diagrams, bills of materials, and wire/cable schedules

Experience developing and maintaining revision-controlled engineering documentation within a PLM or PDM system

Working knowledge of electrical engineering principles, electrical components, schematic development, and wiring practices

Familiarity with applicable industry standards and codes relevant to electrical design activities

Preferred

Experience supporting national laboratories, research facilities, particle accelerators, or other complex scientific or industrial engineering projects

Experience using Autodesk Inventor for three-dimensional electrical or electromechanical design

Experience integrating electrical and mechanical CAD models

Experience using Windchill for engineering document and configuration management

Experience supporting fabrication, assembly, installation, or commissioning of complex engineered systems

Additional Details

This role is expected to be performed primarily on-site due to the need for direct interaction with engineering personnel, facility access, and use of specialized engineering systems

Travel is not anticipated as a routine part of this role

Candidates must be able to comply with all applicable site access, safety, security, and cybersecurity requirements
