Sr Electrical Design Engineer information

What is a Sr Electrical Design Engineer?

Senior Electrical Design Engineers are experienced professionals who lead the design, development, and implementation of electrical systems for a variety of projects, such as buildings, products, or industrial equipment. They are responsible for creating detailed electrical schematics, selecting materials, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and coordinating with other engineering teams. Their role often includes supervising junior engineers, troubleshooting complex issues, and optimizing designs for efficiency and safety. A Sr Electrical Design Engineer typically has several years of experience and a strong background in electrical engineering principles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Sr Electrical Design Engineer?

To thrive as a Sr Electrical Design Engineer, you need an in-depth knowledge of electrical engineering principles, circuit design, and a relevant bachelor's or master's degree, often with a Professional Engineer (PE) license. Proficiency with CAD software (such as AutoCAD or Altium), simulation tools, and familiarity with industry standards and codes are typically required. Strong problem-solving, project management, and communication skills help you lead teams and collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders. These competencies are crucial for delivering reliable, innovative solutions and ensuring compliance in complex engineering projects.

What are some common challenges Sr Electrical Design Engineers face when working on multidisciplinary teams?

Sr Electrical Design Engineers often collaborate with professionals from mechanical, software, and systems engineering backgrounds. One common challenge is ensuring seamless integration of the electrical design with other system components, which requires effective communication and thorough documentation. Balancing project timelines while addressing design revisions and maintaining compliance with industry standards can also be demanding. Successful engineers proactively coordinate with team members, participate in regular design reviews, and stay adaptable to evolving project requirements.

  • A relaxed, respectful culture that encourages collaboration, autonomy, and innovation


What You’ll Do
As the Senior Electrical Design Engineer, you will be a key member of our Electrical & Instrumentation Department, collaborating with engineers, project managers, designers, and administrative staff. You’ll help bring ideas to life by developing electrical designs and drawings for a wide variety of industrial facilities and process plants.
Your responsibilities will include:

  • Designing electrical systems including power distribution, control systems, and lighting for industrial environments
  • Developing single-line diagrams, wiring schematics, cable schedules, and layout drawings
  • Collaborating with other disciplines to ensure project success
  • Participating in occasional field work and construction support, including site visits and field verifications
  • Mentoring and providing on the job training to junior level engineers


What We’re Looking For

  • Strong knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
  • Solid understanding of power distribution systems, MCCs, cable sizing, power correction, variable frequency drives, transformers, switchgear, and lighting design
  • Familiarity with single-line diagrams and P&IDs
  • At least 5 years of electrical design or drafting experience, ideally in industrial processing environments
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD and REVIT
  • Experience using ETAP, SKM or EasyPower
  • Professional Engineering (PE) license highly desirable
  • Must live in the greater Dayton area.


All applications will be kept confidential.
