Job Highlights
About the Role
The Electrical Controls Engineer selects and specifies electrical and control components for HVAC equipment. They create updated and new designs for production‑ready HVAC features and define specifications for each component. Collaboration with sustaining designers and engineers ensures seamless integration of product designs across systems. Core duties include developing and modifying electrical diagrams, reading schematics, and recommending changes to optimize designs. The engineer provides guidance and oversight to electrical designers, establishes testing, operation, maintenance, and repair procedures, and conducts testing and troubleshooting to verify safety and functionality. They work with engineering and operations to implement engineering change notices, support prototype and initial production phases, and coordinate part shortages, test fixtures, and prototypes. Additional responsibilities involve cost estimating, bill of materials creation, electrical CAD modeling, documentation, supporting ePlan programs, DFMEAs, PFMEAs, FEA, seismic evaluations, and ensuring compliance with codes such as UL, CE, NEC, IBC, and NFPA. • Develop and modify electrical diagrams and control system designs for production HVAC units. • Analyze schematics and recommend design changes for optimization. • Provide design guidance and oversight to electrical designers on project releases. • Establish procedures for testing, operation, maintenance, and repair of equipment. • Test and troubleshoot electrical/controls products to ensure safety and proper function. • Implement engineering change notices (ECNs) in collaboration with engineering and operations. • Support production teams during prototype builds and initial production launches. • Coordinate part shortages, develop test fixtures, and create prototypes. • Generate cost estimates and develop bills of materials for electrical/controls components. • Perform electrical CAD modeling, simulations, and prepare technical documentation. • Support ePlan program development and conduct DFMEAs, PFMEAs, FEA, and seismic evaluations. • Ensure designs comply with applicable electrical codes and standards (e.g., UL, CE, NEC, IBC, NFPA). • Maintain professional knowledge through workshops, publications, and society participation.
