Eura Drives is a leading provider of industrial automation and electrical solutions. We specialize in designing, building, and integrating custom motor control centers (MCCs) and control panels for a wide range of industries. We are looking for a skilled and detail-oriented individual to join our production team.

The Electrical Control Panel Designer/Engineer is responsible for the design and specification of motor control panels and systems. This role creates the schematic diagrams, layout drawings, and bills of material that panel builders use for construction. The designer ensures designs are functional, safe, cost-effective, and compliant with all relevant codes and standards.

Key Responsibilities
System Design:
Design electrical control systems based on customer requirements and technical specifications.
Create detailed schematic diagrams (single-line diagrams, ladder logic, interconnection drawings) using CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical).
Design physical layout drawings for enclosures, subpanels, and components.
Component Selection:
Research, select, and specify appropriate components (breakers, contactors, VFDs, PLCs, HMIs, power supplies) based on electrical load, functionality, and environmental requirements.
Create detailed bills of materials (BOM) for procurement.
Compliance and Standards:
Ensure all designs comply with applicable industry standards, including UL 508A, NEC, NFPA 79, and IEC standards.
Perform short-circuit current rating (SCCR) calculations and arc flash studies.
Prepare required documentation for UL certification and other regulatory approvals.

Required Qualifications and Skills
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, OR an Associate's degree with significant relevant experience.
3+ years of experience in designing industrial control panels.
High proficiency in AutoCAD Electrical is essential; experience with EPLAN or SolidWorks Electrical is a major plus.
In-depth knowledge of UL 508A standards and the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Strong understanding of motor control principles (across-the-line starting, reduced voltage starting, VFD control).
Experience with component selection and sizing (wire, disconnects, overloads, transformers).
Familiarity with PLCs, VFDs, and other automation hardware is required.
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
