Key responsibilities

  • Analyze requirements and develop electrical system architectures, specifications, and technical drawings.

  • Design, specify, and integrate electrical components and systems, supporting testing, validation, and troubleshooting activities.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure electrical system delivery, compliance, and support during production and operations.

Job description

POSITION SUMMARY:
The Electrical Systems Engineer is responsible for the design, integration, and validation of electrical systems and sub‑systems for the company’s products, ensuring performance, safety, and regulatory compliance throughout the product lifecycle. This role applies an interdisciplinary, collaborative approach to define requirements, develop architectures, coordinate interfaces, and support testing and certification activities.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:
You can keep this as the core description and adjust the domain (automotive, industrial, aerospace, etc.).

1. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND ARCHITECTURE
  • Analyze customer, regulatory, and internal requirements to derive electrical system and sub‑system requirements.
  • Develop electrical system architectures, including power distribution, protection, control, and communication interfaces.
  • Prepare and interpret electrical specifications, single‑line diagrams, schematics, and technical drawings.
  • Ensure requirements traceability through the full development lifecycle using appropriate tools (e.g., DOORS or similar).
2. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DESIGN AND INTEGRATION
  • Design and specify components and systems such as power supplies, harnesses, switchgear, drives, sensors, actuators, and control hardware as applicable to the product.
  • Develop construction, installation, and manufacturing specifications for electrical systems and components.
  • Integrate electrical systems with mechanical, software, and control systems, resolving interface and compatibility issues.
  • Support PCB and hardware design activities by providing system‑level requirements and interface definitions.
3. ANALYSIS, CALCULATIONS, AND STANDARDS COMPLIANCE
  • Perform detailed electrical calculations (load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, cable sizing, grounding, etc., as relevant) to ensure safe and reliable operation.
  • Evaluate system requirements, capacity, cost, and project needs to develop electrical system plans and design options.
  • Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and customer specifications (e.g., IEEE, NESC, IEC, industry‑specific standards).
  • Participate in risk assessments and design reviews focusing on safety, reliability, and maintainability of electrical systems.
4. TESTING, VALIDATION, AND TROUBLESHOOTING
  • Develop system and sub‑system test plans, procedures, and acceptance criteria for electrical systems.
  • Support and conduct lab, bench, and in‑field tests to verify that designs meet functional and performance requirements.
  • Analyze test data, identify root causes of issues, and implement corrective design or configuration changes.
  • Support certification, qualification, and regulatory compliance activities, including documentation and test evidence.
5. PROJECT AND CROSS‑FUNCTIONAL SUPPORT
  • Collaborate with project managers, systems engineers, and manufacturing teams to ensure designs are delivered on time, within budget, and to quality standards.
  • Provide technical input for supplier selection, design reviews, and vendor component evaluations.
  • Support production, installation, commissioning, and operations teams with technical guidance and troubleshooting for electrical systems.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of design methods, tools, and standards within the electrical engineering function.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
  • Typically 3–7 years of experience in electrical systems design, integration, or similar engineering roles (adjust years for your level I/II/Senior).
  • Demonstrated experience with design and analysis of electrical power or control systems in an applicable industry (e.g., automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, energy).
  • Proficiency with electrical design and analysis tools (e.g., CAD/ECAD, ETAP/PSSE/PSLF or similar, SPICE‑based tools).
  • Strong understanding of electrical engineering principles, including circuit design, power distribution, grounding, and protection.
