Major Responsibilities/Activities:

• Design low-voltage (up to 600 VAC) electrical systems such as power distribution, electrical control, motor control, wire harnesses, sensor application and enclosures using fabrication techniques and in-/out-sourced components in a Lean manufacturing environment. 
• Use higher level electrical engineering principles to make design decisions in the development of own designs as well as in the role of evaluator of designs generated by others. Design cost effective solutions that maximize value for VWS customers by considering factors such as feasibility, risk, component cost, assembly time, reliability, and quality.
• Collaborate with external departments such as Purchasing, Manufacturing Engineering, Marketing, Technical Support, and Sales throughout the development, release, and support of VWS products. Handle changes and problems related to assigned projects.
• Initiate, conduct, and document design reviews at appropriate points in the development process while including appropriate representatives from VWS departments. Review own and others’ product designs for compliance with electrical engineering principles, safety, company standards, product definition, customer requirements as well as applicable specifications and electrical codes, standards, and regulations.
• Coordinate the review and approval/maintenance process for new and existing products to attain and maintain electrical standards compliance (including North American, Australian, and European certifications). Design solutions and generate design output in accordance with project definition, product definition, and applicable national/regional safety and regulatory requirements such as NEC (NFPA-70), NFPA-79, and CE Machinery Directive.
• Develop component and system requirements and test plans. Lead and conduct testing to verify design compliance with specifications. At times participate in a hands-on manner in the building of prototypes and test fixtures, and in conducting testing. 
• Generate product documents needed to communicate designs, including but not limited to one-line drawings, parts lists, bills-of-material (BOM), electrical schematics, point-to-point diagrams, engineering design specifications, solid model parts and assemblies, and engineering drawings.
• Participate in all engineering ISO 9001 quality processes from establishing customer’s requirements to releasing products for sale. Generate design and product documents as well as any other appropriate documentation to verify and communicate design in accordance with VWS design and document control procedures.
• Participate in the research and testing of new products and technologies for VWS. Maintain awareness of changing technology and standards and evaluate these for adoption into new designs and products. 
• Utilize engineering principles to evaluate feasibility of ideas and concepts and generate analysis to support recommendations. Manage risk in proceeding with concepts during the design and development process.
• Perform in-house activities related to external product compliance validation, including being an MTR (manufacturer technical representative) for PDQ’s UL 508A panel shop.
• Act as a technical expert for the company for internal and at times external customers. Provide electrical engineering consultation as needed including but not limited to analysis, opinion, and basic to advanced calculation.
• Communicate with customers, collect customer requirements, create product specifications from requirements, and create time estimates based on specifications.
• Travel to customer locations to perform on-site testing, troubleshooting, and technical support when needed.
• Demonstrate and encourage safe work practices in all activities.
