Electrical Design Engineer
Coordinated Designs & Controls (CDC), an affiliate of Electro‑Mechanical, LLC, is seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to join our Metal Clad Switchgear Division in Houston, TX. In this role, you will create and develop electrical designs, drawings, and documentation to support our power distribution products. You will work closely with Project Engineers to translate concepts, sketches, and specifications into accurate electrical layouts that meet industry standards and ensure manufacturability, performance, and quality. This is a strong opportunity for a detail‑oriented electrical design professional who thrives in a hands‑on, fast‑paced manufacturing environment and is passionate about delivering high‑quality, American‑made electrical equipment. How You Will Make an Impact
Produce accurate electrical drawings and layouts using AutoCAD based on Project Engineer input, sketches, specifications, and existing documentation. Review customer orders for completeness and accuracy to ensure design requirements are fully understood. Develop electrical layout designs for new applications and improvements to existing designs while maintaining alignment with engineering and shop wiring standards. Verify that all design output meets established requirements, codes, and internal engineering guidelines. Collaborate daily with Project Engineers, manufacturing teams, and other departments to resolve design issues and support production needs. Enhance overall manufacturing efficiency by creating electrical designs that support consistent, repeatable, and safe assembly processes. Apply working knowledge of ANSI, UL, NEC, NEMA, Utility, MSHA, and applicable local codes in design activities. Participate in cost‑reduction, process improvement, and documentation improvement initiatives. Support special projects and assignments directed by the Project Manager or designated leadership. Maintain a clean and organized work area and follow all safety and quality standards, including participating in Kaizen and Area Focus Teams. Use team‑driven problem‑solving approaches to support continuous improvement and operational excellence. Provide feedback and corrections to documentation in collaboration with cross‑functional teams and customers as needed. What You Bring
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Drafting & Design, Electromechanical Technology, or a related field. Equivalent combinations of education, training, and experience will also be considered. At least 5 years of electrical design experience within a manufacturing or industrial environment. Proficiency in AutoCAD and familiarity with Microsoft Office Suite. Ability to read, interpret, and produce accurate electrical drawings with strong attention to detail. Good written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with engineers, shop personnel, and cross‑functional teams. Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to self‑check work for accuracy and completeness. Knowledge of industry standards and electrical codes (ANSI, UL, NEC, NEMA, MSHA, etc.) is preferred. Ability to work independently with limited supervision while managing multiple tasks and priorities. Willingness to work overtime as required to support production schedules or project timelines. Additional Responsibilities
Maintain a working understanding of the MCBA MRP system (or willingness to learn). Stay current with updates to ISO procedures, work instructions, forms, and corporate standards. Keep up with technological developments in electrical design relevant to our products and processes. About Coordinated Designs & Controls (CDC)
