13d•$105,000 - $135,000

About The Position

The Electrical Engineer is a core technical role in Tesco Controls’ product-focused Engineering organization. The position designs and applies manufactured electrical equipment using Tesco standard products and approved OEM equipment, adapting them to project-specific requirements while maintaining manufacturability, listing constraints, repeatability, and commercial discipline. The role encompasses complete equipment-package design, including electrical calculations and schematics, physical layouts, component application, materials and Bills of Materials, manufacturing coordination, testing, and project execution. Controls, PLC/I/O, instrumentation, and communications are treated as interfaces within the complete electrical product. The role requires travel up to 10% of the time and participation in hands-on coordination with manufacturing personnel, including regular shop walks when assigned equipment is in production. Engineers based outside Sacramento are expected to visit the manufacturing facility regularly during active production, as project needs direct.

Requirements

Typically 3–8 years of industrial electrical design, power distribution, motor control, controls equipment, OEM product engineering, panel or switchgear design, or related experience.
Demonstrated experience using SolidWorks for electrical design, or strong directly transferable 3D CAD/model-based equipment-design experience.
Working knowledge of industrial electrical design, including 120/208/240/480 VAC systems, 24 VDC controls, breakers and fuses, conductors, bus, starters, VFDs, transformers and control power, PLC/I/O interfaces, instrumentation, grounding and bonding, enclosure selection, and environmental and thermal considerations.
Ability to read and create one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, panel and equipment layouts, equipment schedules, Bills of Materials, customer specifications, and manufacturer technical data.
Working knowledge of PLC, OIT/HMI, instrumentation, and industrial communications sufficient to coordinate electrical interfaces and produce complete equipment packages.
Ability and willingness to work in a hands-on manufacturing environment, engage directly with the shop during production, participate in FAT, and travel to customer sites when project needs require.
Strong written and verbal communication, disciplined documentation, attention to detail, and a demonstrated bias toward ownership, standardization, and early problem resolution.

Nice To Haves

Experience with SolidWorks Electrical, 3D panel/equipment layout, component libraries, reusable assemblies, BOM generation, and drawing/submittal production.
Familiarity with UL 508A.
Exposure to UL 891 switchboards, MCC equipment and UL 845 modification constraints, NFPA 70/NEC, NEMA, SCCR, and utility/service requirements.

Responsibilities

Design complete electrical equipment and control packages using SolidWorks-based model workflows, approved components, controlled product standards, reusable assemblies, and project-specific configuration rules.
Develop one-lines, three-lines, elementary and control schematics, physical layouts, wiring and interface information, Bills of Materials, submittals, and production engineering data for switchboards, MCCs, VFD lineups, pump-control panels, UL 508A panels, service equipment, and related products.
Apply Tesco standard products to customer specifications, determine required options and modifications, and coordinate approved deviations while avoiding unnecessary one-off designs.
Engineer power distribution, breakers and protection, bus and conductors, disconnects, control power, motor starters, VFDs, PLC/I/O and instrumentation interfaces, environmental controls, grounding and bonding, SCCR, and related electrical functions.
Engineer or support UL 845 MCC modifications under applicable OEM file-extension arrangements, maintaining OEM and listing requirements and coordinating modifications with qualified Manufacturing and Quality personnel.
Coordinate model and design validation with Manufacturing Engineering before customer submittal or release, resolving constructability, access, listing, thermal, material, bus and wiring, and production issues before they become shop NCRs.
Develop electrical material takeoffs and engineering inputs for estimates, procurement, and project execution, using standard assemblies and validated product data where available.
Participate in factory testing, customer witness testing, troubleshooting, field application and startup support, and closeout as assigned.
Work with Project Management on assigned priorities, deliverables, and schedules; promptly elevate technical risks, missing information, product deviations, and resource constraints.
Participate in regular morning shop walks and communicate in person with Manufacturing Engineering and production personnel while assigned equipment is in fabrication, assembly, wiring, or test.
For engineers based outside Sacramento, visit the manufacturing facility regularly while assigned equipment is in active production, as directed by project needs.
