Remote Electrical Designer – Design the Future of Power Systems from Anywhere

Join a forward‑thinking engineering team where you’ll create innovative electrical schematics, layout designs, and control systems for cutting‑edge projects—all while working 100% remote. This role offers the flexibility to collaborate with global experts, the challenge of solving real‑world power distribution problems, and the opportunity to grow your career in a supportive, technology‑driven environment.

About the Role

As a Remote Electrical Designer, you will be responsible for producing detailed electrical drawings, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts that meet industry standards and client specifications. You’ll work closely with project engineers, procurement specialists, and field technicians to ensure designs are manufacturable, cost‑effective, and compliant with NEC, IEC, and local codes. Your contributions will directly impact the reliability and efficiency of power distribution systems for commercial, industrial, and renewable energy applications.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop single‑line diagrams, schematic designs, and panel layouts using AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or similar CAD tools.
• Perform load calculations, short‑circuit analysis, and voltage drop studies to validate design adequacy.
• Generate bills of materials (BOMs) and support procurement by providing accurate component specifications.
• Review vendor drawings and coordinate with manufacturing teams to resolve design‑for‑manufacturability issues.
• Maintain design documentation, revision control, and project files in accordance with company quality management systems.
• Participate in design reviews, provide technical guidance to junior designers, and stay current with emerging electrical technologies.

Requirements

Education & Experience

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Technology, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• Minimum 3 years of experience in electrical design for power distribution, control panels, or industrial automation.
• Proficiency with CAD software (AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar) and familiarity with electrical calculation tools.
• Strong understanding of NEC, IEC, UL, and other relevant standards.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, P&IDs, and project specifications.

Skills & Attributes

• Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to design verification.
• Strong communication skills; able to convey technical concepts clearly to multidisciplinary teams.
• Self‑motivated, organized, and capable of managing multiple projects with competing deadlines.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN) and PLM tools is a plus.
• Commitment to continuous learning and staying abreast of advances in smart grid, renewable energy, and automation technologies.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range: $78,000 – $102,000 USD per year, commensurate with experience.
• Fully remote work arrangement – work from any location with a reliable internet connection.
• Flexible hours with core collaboration windows to accommodate global teamwork.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
• Paid time off, holidays, and parental leave.
• Annual professional development stipend for certifications, courses, or conference attendance.
• Access to cutting‑edge design software licenses and virtual lab environments.
• Wellness programs, including virtual fitness classes and mental‑health resources.
