Analyze customer, regulatory, and internal requirements to derive electrical system and sub‑system requirements.
Develop electrical system architectures, including power distribution, protection, control, and communication interfaces.
Prepare and interpret electrical specifications, single‑line diagrams, schematics, and technical drawings.
Ensure requirements traceability through the full development lifecycle using appropriate tools (e.g., DOORS or similar).
Design and specify components and systems such as power supplies, harnesses, switchgear, drives, sensors, actuators, and control hardware as applicable to the product.
Develop construction, installation, and manufacturing specifications for electrical systems and components.
Integrate electrical systems with mechanical, software, and control systems, resolving interface and compatibility issues.
Support PCB and hardware design activities by providing system‑level requirements and interface definitions.
Perform detailed electrical calculations (load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, cable sizing, grounding, etc., as relevant) to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Evaluate system requirements, capacity, cost, and project needs to develop electrical system plans and design options.
Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and customer specifications (e.g., IEEE, NESC, IEC, industry‑specific standards).
Participate in risk assessments and design reviews focusing on safety, reliability, and maintainability of electrical systems.
Develop system and sub‑system test plans, procedures, and acceptance criteria for electrical systems.
Support and conduct lab, bench, and in‑field tests to verify that designs meet functional and performance requirements.
Analyze test data, identify root causes of issues, and implement corrective design or configuration changes.
Support certification, qualification, and regulatory compliance activities, including documentation and test evidence.
Collaborate with project managers, systems engineers, and manufacturing teams to ensure designs are delivered on time, within budget, and to quality standards.
Provide technical input for supplier selection, design reviews, and vendor component evaluations.
Support production, installation, commissioning, and operations teams with technical guidance and troubleshooting for electrical systems.
