Electro-Mechanical Switchboard Design Engineer

About Nav-Tech

Nav-Tech Inc. is a growing manufacturer of engineered-to-order low- and medium-voltage switchgear, power distribution equipment, and custom electrical enclosures, serving contractors, utilities, and OEM customers across the New York metro area and across the USA. Nav-Tech is a division of Eleconnex, a private equity-backed electrical products platform, and is investing in its engineering organization to support a growing backlog of utility and commercial projects. Engineers at Nav-Tech own designs end to end — from customer specification through drawings, production support, and testing — rather than working on one narrow slice of a large product line.

Position Summary

We are seeking an Electrical Design Engineer with 5–10 years of experience designing low- and/or medium-voltage switchgear and power distribution equipment. The engineer will translate customer specifications into compliant, manufacturable switchgear designs;

- Experience preparing one-line diagrams and performing short-circuit and protective device selection/coordination

- Proficiency in 2D/3D CAD (e.G., AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks, or Inventor) and Microsoft Office

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills;
able to manage multipleprojects in an engineered-to-order environment

- Clear written and verbal communication with customers, production, and management

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience at a switchgear or power equipment manufacturer such as Eaton, Schneider Electric, Siemens, ABB/Hitachi Energy, ASCO Power Technologies, Powell Industries, Myers Power Products, Vertiv, or similar

- Experience with power system analysis software (SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower)

- Familiarity with sheet metal design, copper bus fabrication, and GD&T

- Experience supporting UL file maintenance, witness testing, or field labeling
