UL 508A Control Cabinet Engineering Specialist

Is this you?

  • Do you think in schematics and panel layouts?
  • Have you balanced breaker/fuse coordination curves and wire sizing to perfection?
  • Can you translate a concept into a fully certified build that passes hipot and functional testing on the first go?

Your Mission

Own the design and delivery of industrial control cabinets that are robust, code-compliant, and production-ready. Collaborate across mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing functions to ship safe, reliable systems.

What You Will Do

  • Engineer industrial control panels that comply with NEC (NFPA 70) and UL 508A.
  • Produce complete EPLAN (or equivalent) schematics, panel layouts, and BOMs.
  • Select connectors, wire harnesses, branch protection (breakers, fuses), and power conversion (drives, transformers, rectifiers).
  • Specify and validate designs for up to 600V AC and 2000V DC.
  • Guide third-party panel fabricators from design transfer through acceptance.
  • Plan and execute high-voltage testing: hipot, insulation resistance, and functional verification.
  • Partner with mechanical teams on enclosure choice, thermal strategy, and integration.
  • Lead DFMEA contributions, identifying risks and mitigation actions.

What You Bring

  • BS in EE/ME (5+ years) or MS (3+ years) in a relevant field.
  • Fluency with EPLAN or comparable panel design tools.
  • Demonstrated experience delivering to NEC and UL 508A.
  • Practical high-voltage testing experience with rigorous safety practices.
  • Mastery of branch circuit protection coordination, wire sizing, and power conversion fundamentals.
  • Track record managing vendors through fabrication and acceptance.
  • Comfort with PLM (Arena, Teamcenter), Jira, and Jama.
  • Self-directed, able to drive projects with minimal oversight.

Bonus Points

  • Work in a UL 508A Recognized Panel Shop or hands-on UL listing experience.
  • NFPA 70E certification or arc flash study background.
  • Exposure to industrial automation, EV charging, energy storage, or semiconductor tools.
  • ETAP experience for protection coordination simulations.

Proficiencies

  • 120/208/240/480 V systems
  • DFM/DFA
  • Mechanical design & engineering, blueprint reading
  • EPLAN

Tools You’ll Touch

  • CAD: AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Catia, Pro-E / Creo, Siemens NX
  • PLC systems

Why This Role

You’ll be the technical steward ensuring panels move from well-structured schematics and BOMs to hardware that’s safe, thermally sound, and easy to assemble—every time.
