An Electrical Designer designs and creates layout for the electrical systems that power lighting, security, telephone and sound in buildings; creates wiring diagrams, develops specifications for electrical systems to meet code requirements. Designs and create layout of the printed circuit boards that are components of most electronic equipment.
Develop and maintain cable/wire harness detail and assembly designs. Support analysis and design reviews. Develop and maintain electrical product detail, assembly, and installation designs (e.g., equipment racks, power panels, cable routing and geometry, antennas). Provide engineering design disposition on discrepancies (e.g., rejection tags, production action requests, shop revision requests). Follow documented processes, specifications, and procedures that support the design and manufacture of electrical commodities. Support the development of statements of work. Assist in the technical review of supplier capabilities to facilitate source selection. Analyze functional and physical input used in the development of integrated design and system architecture. Work under general supervision. Work weekends and overtime, including Saturdays, until the work is complete. Review, check, and ensure that the complete wire design packages are complete. Undergo training on program-specific tools such as EDART, OSDCL, and EWIS. Utilize skills in WIRS, Mapper, and CMPRO. Successfully complete training as a contingency for this assignment.
