Electrical Controls Engineer

$86.4k - $129.6k

Schneider Electric

We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Controls Engineer to support the design, drafting, and troubleshooting of electrical and control systems for Modular Data Center solutions. This role contributes across the project lifecycle—developing build-ready documentation, supporting integration, and resolving real-world issues during production, testing, and commissioning. Success requires strong attention to detail, practical problem-solving, and the ability to translate design intent into accurate deliverables.

What will you do?

  • Design, review, and troubleshoot electrical and control systems in alignment with customer requirements and project scope
  • Develop and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, and controls documentation
  • Support multi-vendor system integration (sensors, communications, redundancy requirements)
  • Ensure compliance with applicable standards, codes, and internal engineering processes
  • Create and maintain Bills of Material (BOMs)
  • Participate in design reviews and customer meetings
  • Maintain revision control and document design changes
  • Provide hands-on support to manufacturing, testing, and commissioning teams
  • Contribute to continuous improvement and lessons learned
  • Travel up to 15% as needed

What qualifications will make you successful?

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET preferred)
  • 4+ years of experience in controls and electrical system design (data center, industrial, or mission-critical preferred)
  • Experience with LV/MV power distribution controls and industrial control panels (UL508A, UL2755 familiarity)
  • Knowledge of ATS schemes, HVAC controls, BMS, and EPMS integration
  • Proficiency with tools such as AutoCAD Electrical, Revit, EPLAN, or similar
  • Strong understanding of NEC, protection schemes, and communication protocols (Modbus, BACnet, TCP/IP, DNP3)
  • Ability to read, develop, and modify electrical schematics and ladder logic
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

What’s in it for you?

  • Work on innovative, mission-critical infrastructure projects
  • Collaborative and inclusive team environment
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development
