ABOUT THE COMPANY

Rise Power Systems is a manufacturer-in-launch of UL compliant Industrial Solutions, Critical Power Distribution and Prefabricated Modular/Skid solutions. We combine structural and sheet metal fabrication expertise with purpose-built electrical assembly to deliver pre-engineered power infrastructure for industrial, oil & gas, water/wastewater, and utility markets.


POSITION SUMMARY

Rise Power Systems is seeking an Electrical Engineer to support the design, development, and delivery of advanced power distribution and control systems. This role will focus on both Industrial Solutions and Critical Power applications.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in power system design, strong knowledge of electrical standards, and the ability to collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.


CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Engineering & Design: Low-voltage switchgear, Motor Control Centers (MCCs), Industrial control panels (ICP), Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Remote Power Panels (RPPs)
  • Create and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, and bills of materials (BOMs)
  • Perform power system calculations (load analysis, short circuit, protection coordination, voltage drop)
  • Select and specify electrical components including breakers, contactors, relays, bus systems, transformers, power supplies, PLCs, and protection devices
  • Evaluate components based on electrical performance, thermal ratings, fault capacity, and application requirements
  • Support standardization of parts and development of reusable component libraries
  • Ensure compliance with applicable standards (UL, NEC, IEC, IEEE)
  • Support product development lifecycle from concept through release
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, manufacturing, sourcing, quality)
  • Support integration between design platforms (e.g., EPLAN, SOLIDWORKS)

 

BENEFITS
Rise Power Systems offers a generous benefits package to include the following:

  • Competitive pay based on experience

Position Summary

The Electrical Design Engineer is a key member of the Rise Power Systems engineering team responsible for designing and developing industrial and critical power equipment. This is a design-focused role centered on creating robust, manufacturable, and compliant electrical designs.

The role includes development of schematics, layouts, wiring documentation, and BOMs using modern ECAD tools (EPLAN strongly preferred). The engineer will work within an ISO 9001 design and product development framework, while supporting UL Procedure Files and UL Follow-Up Services (FUS) requirements to sustain ongoing certification compliance.


Key Responsibilities

• Develop complete electrical designs (schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, BOMs); EPLAN strongly preferred.

• Use 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) for PDM/PLM to manage part numbers, revisions, and configuration control.

• Create wire routing, cable schedules, terminal plans, and harness documentation to support efficient and manufacturable builds.

• Design to applicable UL, ANSI, and IEEE requirements, including protection, conductor sizing, spacing, grounding/bonding, and equipment ratings.

• Execute work within Rise Power Systems’ Product Development Process (PDP) under ISO 9001 design controls.

• Maintain engineering documentation and design records required to support UL Procedure Files and UL FUS expectations.

• Lead cross-functional design reviews to enable engineering release and manufacturing readiness.

• Support certification activities including type testing, test procedure development, and routine/FAT coordination.
