Electrical Design Engineer Tysons, VA $100,000-$140,000 per year Full-time | On-site We are recruiting an Electrical Design Engineer for a growing engineering business developing specialized equipment and integrated systems for demanding industrial and government-related applications. This is a hands-on engineering position for someone who enjoys taking electrical designs beyond the drawing stage and seeing them through manufacturing, integration, testing, and commissioning. As an Electrical Design Engineer , you'll work closely with mechanical engineers, suppliers, and manufacturing partners to develop practical, production-ready electrical systems. What you'll be doing Design electrical architectures, power distribution, grounding, protection, and control systems. Produce schematics, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, terminal plans, panel layouts, and Bills of Materials (BOMs). Design wiring and electrical panel/enclosure layouts for complex equipment. Integrate motors, Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), sensors, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) interfaces, and other electrical equipment. Perform electrical load calculations and support power distribution and protection requirements. Consider heat dissipation, cooling, and environmental requirements when designing electrical panels and enclosures. Work with external panel builders, suppliers, and manufacturing partners during build and integration. Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), commissioning, troubleshooting, and technical issue resolution. Collaborate with mechanical engineering on equipment layouts, cable routing, enclosures, and system integration. Produce clear, production-ready electrical documentation. What we're looking for The successful Electrical Design Engineer will ideally have: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline. At least 5 years of relevant electrical engineering experience. Experience designing electrical systems for industrial equipment, machinery, control panels, automation systems, or other complex engineered products. Experience producing electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, or similar manufacturing documentation. Professional experience using EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, SEE Electrical, or comparable electrical CAD software. Knowledge of industrial controls, PLC-based systems, motors, sensors, and VFDs. Experience supporting equipment through manufacturing, integration, testing, commissioning, or troubleshooting. A practical, hands-on approach to engineering and problem solving. Comfortable working closely with manufacturing teams, suppliers, and external engineering partners. Able to work full-time on-site in Northern Virginia. Veterans with relevant electrical engineering, electrical systems, controls, power, or technical military experience are strongly encouraged to apply. We welcome candidates who can demonstrate how their military experience transfers into a practical engineering environment. Experience within engineered-to-order equipment, industrial automation, electrical power systems, defense, aerospace, marine, government contracting, or other highly regulated engineering environments would be beneficial but is not essential.
