Job Purpose

As an Electrical Engineering Intern, you will assist in the design, component selection, and documentation of industrial electrical control panels. This includes ensuring all designs meet rigorous safety standards and are optimized for both performance and manufacturability. You will work with Product Development and Manufacturing Engineering to optimize the build, troubleshooting, programming of smart devices ad verify function of the electrical system as part of industrial power generation.

Key Responsibilities

• Component Selection & Specification: Research and select industrial components including circuit breakers, power supplies (AC/DC), disconnect switches, and relays based on load requirements and environmental factors.
• Panel Layout & Wire Routing: Assist in developing spatial layouts for enclosures to ensure proper heat dissipation and logical wire duct routing.
• Schematic Development: Update and maintain electrical schematics, ensuring accurate representation of terminal blocks, I/O mapping, and power distribution.
• Safety & Compliance: Apply UL 508A and NFPA 70 (NEC) standards to designs, focusing on Short Circuit Current Ratings (SCCR) and proper grounding.
• Labeling & Documentation: Create comprehensive wire tagging schedules and panel faceplate labeling to ensure ease of maintenance and operator safety.
• Prototyping & Testing: Support the shop floor during the assembly phase to troubleshoot routing issues and perform initial power-up testing.

What we are looking for

• Education: Currently enrolled in a B.S. or M.S. program in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.
• Technical Skills: * Basic understanding of Ohm's Law and 3-phase power systems.
  • Familiarity with CAD software (AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, or EPLAN).
  • Knowledge of common industrial control components (PLCs, VFDs, contactors).
• Soft Skills: High attention to detail, strong technical writing abilities, and a "safety-first" mindset.

Physical and Environmental Requirements:

• Ability to work in both an office environment and a production/lab setting.
• Occasional use of hand tools for prototyping (wire strippers, crimpers, multimeters).

What we offer

You won't just be "shadowing"-you will be contributing to live projects that power heavy industrial systems. This Co-Op offers a deep dive into the bridge between theoretical circuit design and rugged, real-world application.
