Top 4 projects examples:
Control Panel / Control Box design
VFD - 3 phase variable frequency drives
sizing of electrical components (fuse, wire, To and From lists)
• Variable Speed Drivers (any and all are a positive for this role)
• They should know: How to Size? Configure
• Control Panel – Integration
o BoM Mgt
o Understanding of concept to design for Control Panel (development)
• Understanding of 3 phases – Control Panels
o Wire Harnesses – low voltage to high voltage
o 3 phase wiring
o Routing
Good exposure to Electrical component/Layouts in Control Box
Resource to discuss with customer electrical engineers and come up with layouts to give to designers to do multiple design concepts in Creo along with the BOMs and Control boxes
The biggest need I see if for an EE that understands industrial electromechanical controls/panels. Ideal person would understand how breakers/contactors are used for controlling motors, understand the basics of sensors – pressure, temperature, flow, level, etc.
Should understand electrical diagrams for motors, sensors, heaters, switches, electronic components – sufficient to create electrical schematic drawings and then be able to develop wiring harnesses from these.
Ideally would have some experience with sizing/design of copper bus bar and have some knowledge of power components (inductors, capacitors, inverters, rectifiers, etc)
Should be able to correlate NEC ampacity tables with appropriate wire gauge and terminal selection as part of the harness development.
Should have enough CAD experience to design and layout sheetmetal control enclosures, locate components with proper spacing to allow for wire routing, tying, placement of wiring duct.
Should be familiar with panel design for different NEMA and IP ratings – typically for us NEMA 1 and NEMA3R, but we do design some panels for NEMA 4 and IP54. This implies some knowledge of panel latching, gasketing as well.
Create spreadsheets and layouts to hand off to Electrical mechanical designers.
Will be checking work from the designers and marking up drawings to assist in the CAD and BOM creation.
BSEE - 2+ years exp control panel layout Project eng, Change Management, Product customization experience a plus. Layout, sizing and load calculations for control boxes.
