Position Overview:

The Senior Electrical Designer is a technical subject‑matter expert within the Equipment Design Engineering (EDE) department, responsible for leading the execution of complex electrical designs for OEM equipment used in data center and mission‑critical applications.

This role goes beyond drafting execution and includes technical ownership, cross‑discipline coordination, mentoring, and drawing quality leadership. The Senior Electrical Designer ensures electrical designs are code‑compliant, manufacturable, standardized, and production‑ready, while actively contributing to continuous improvement of EDE electrical design practices and standards.

Key Responsibilities:

What you will do:

• Lead the development of complex electrical layouts and detailed production drawings for OEM equipment, including power distribution, control panels, enclosures, conduit routing, grounding, and cable management.
• Serve as a technical authority for electrical design execution within EDE projects.
• Ensure designs comply with CEC, NEC, UL, CSA, customer, and internal EDE electrical standards.
• Coordinate closely with mechanical designers and engineers to ensure proper integration, access, serviceability, and clash‑free layouts.
• Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Safety, and electrical installation best practices into all designs.
• Lead and participate in design reviews, DXF overlays, and drawing quality checks prior to release.
• Support and mentor junior electrical designers, providing guidance on standards, methods, and best practices.
• Investigate and resolve manufacturing issues, NCRs, and field feedback related to electrical design.
• Contribute to the development, refinement, and adoption of EDE electrical design standards, templates, and best practices.
• Support engineering change requests (ECRs) and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Interface with Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and Project Engineering to resolve build issues and improve design robustness.

Design Execution & Working Approach:

• Execute electrical designs using PTC Creo and EDE‑approved tools and workflows.
• Apply standardized electrical parts, installation methods, and documentation practices.
• Independently manage the electrical scope on projects with minimal supervision.
• Follow EDE processes for drawing release, document control, and revision management.
• Maintain clear, accurate, and well‑structured documentation to support production and service.
• Collaborate effectively in a multi‑discipline EDE environment.

What we are looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, OR a Technical/Associate Degree or Diploma with equivalent experience.
• 5 + years of experience in equipment design, manufacturing engineering, or DFM‑focused roles.
• Senior‑level experience delivering production‑ready OEM equipment designs and drawings.
• Proficiency in PTC Creo 9, with working knowledge of Windchill PLM and SAP.
• Working knowledge of electrical codes and standards (CEC, NEC, UL, CSA).
• Demonstrated ability to independently solve complex technical problems and drive alignment across stakeholders.
• Experience supporting manufacturing builds, issue resolution, and design changes.
• Strong communication skills and ability to clearly document and defend technical decisions.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in HVAC, data center equipment, enclosures, modular systems, or large‑scale industrial equipment.
• Familiarity with rate‑driven or high‑volume manufacturing environments.
• Exposure to power distribution, control panels, and industrial equipment wiring.
• Professional designation or eligibility is an asset.
