- Distribution transformers (dry-type and liquid-filled)
- Develop and review single-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, and interconnection drawings.
- Perform:
- Short circuit analysis
- Arc flash hazard analysis (IEEE 1584)
- Protective device coordination studies
- Load flow and voltage drop calculations
- Ensure proper equipment SCCR alignment and bus bracing requirements.
- Evaluate breaker selection, trip units, and coordination schemes.
- Support equipment submittals, factory testing, and customer technical reviews.
- Interface with utilities, consulting engineers, EPC firms, and data center operators.
- Support FAT, commissioning, and field troubleshooting when required.
Industrial Control Systems (Secondary Focus – UL508A)
- Design and review UL508A control panels associated with switchgear and MCC applications.
- Generate control schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts.
- Perform SCCR calculations in accordance with UL508A.
- Integrate PLCs, HMIs, VFDs, protective relays, and monitoring systems.
- Support UL inspection requirements and maintain panel compliance documentation.
- Provide technical support to manufacturing teams for proper control wiring practices.

- Data center power distribution architecture
- Working knowledge of UL508A control panel design.
- Strong knowledge of:
- NEC (NFPA 70)
- NFPA 70E
- IEEE 1584 (arc flash)
- IEEE 242 (coordination)
- Relevant UL standards (UL891, UL1558, UL67, UL508A)
- Experience with SKM, ETAP, EasyPower, AutoCAD Electrical, or similar tools.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in a switchgear OEM manufacturing environment.
- UL508A MTR (Manufacturer Technical Representative).
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or EIT certification not required but would be a bonus
- Experience with Tier III / Tier IV data center infrastructure.
- Knowledge of UL98, UL1066, and protective relay integration.
Key Competencies
- Strong understanding of short circuit withstand ratings and bus bracing.
- Expertise in protective device coordination and selective coordination strategies.
- Clear understanding of upstream/downstream equipment rating relationships.
- Practical knowledge of grounding, bonding, and fault current pathways.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, and field service teams.
- Detail-oriented with a compliance-driven engineering mindset.
