You will lead the research, design, and development of the electrical systems for a next‑generation critical‑infrastructure product. The role covers the full power chain — automatic transfer switches, VFDs, motor systems, power electronics, redundant supplies, disconnects, and overall electrical safety. Designs must be standardized, repeatable, and production‑ready, progressing from prototype through pre‑production into full manufacturing.

Key Accountabilities:

Design the full electrical architecture, including dual‑feed 3‑phase power, ATS, disconnects, branch‑circuit protection, and motor breakers.

Integrate and validate VFDs, motor controllers, soft starters, and power electronics for production and serviceability.

Develop redundant control power, precision metering, and industrial electrical panels with service‑accessible layouts.

Own electrical safety, grounding/bonding, protective‑device coordination, and compliance with NEC/CEC, UL/CSA/IEC, EMC, and global certification requirements.

Support DFMEA, risk assessments, structured design reviews, and formal BOM/drawing release.

Mature designs through prototype phases and collaborate across mechanical, hydraulic, controls, and software teams.





Must‑Have Qualifications & Skills:

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering; P.Eng required

10+ years designing industrial or mission‑critical electrical systems

Robust VFD expertise: drive setup, harmonics mitigation, motor starting/protection

Power electronics knowledge: UPS/ redundant control power, DC supplies, precision metering

Deep motor systems knowledge: AC induction & PM motors, soft starters, protection

Industrial panel design experience, including load analysis, breakers, disconnects, and branch‑circuit protection

Hands‑on experience with global regulatory compliance (UL/CSA/IEC, NEC/CEC, EMC, safety standards)

Experience with BOM/drawing release, configuration control, and structured product development

Experience supporting DFMEA and technical design reviews

Experience working in an R&D; environment and maturing prototypes into production designs

Knowledge of HVAC electrical characteristics (chillers, AHUs, cooling towers, pumps, compressors, heat pumps)

Familiarity with IEC 61439, UL 508A, NFPA 70E, IEEE 519, and related standards
