Electrical Engineer

PeopleSolutions, Inc.
Richmond, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 11/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/9/2026

The AI revolution is creating unprecedented demand for critical power infrastructure. Want to help engineer what's next?


This is more than another engineering position. It's an opportunity to get involved early in a major U.S. manufacturing expansion within one of the fastest-growing sectors of the global economy.


PeopleSolutions, Inc. is partnering with a rapidly expanding global manufacturer of mission-critical electrical power distribution systems to identify a talented Electrical Design Engineer for its state-of-the-art, 500,000-square-foot manufacturing operation just outside of Richmond, VA.


With ambitious plans to double its business annually over the next three years, our client offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the infrastructure supporting AI, hyperscale data centers, and mission-critical facilities worldwide.


OPPORTUNITY


You'll play a key role in designing and developing low-voltage switchgear and power distribution systems, including switchboards, Remote Power Panels (RPPs), and custom electrical assemblies.

Working alongside engineering, manufacturing, and project management teams, you'll help transform complex customer requirements into high-quality, production-ready designs.


QUALIFICATIONS

3–5 years of electrical design experience in switchgear, power distribution, or electrical panel manufacturing.


Hands-on experience designing low-voltage switchgear, switchboards, and electrical distribution assemblies.


Proficiency in EPLAN (strongly preferred) or equivalent electrical CAD software.


Working knowledge of UL 891, UL 1558, NEC, and related electrical standards.


Experience developing electrical schematics, General Arrangement drawings, and Bills of Materials.


Understanding of three-phase power, protective devices, breakers, busbar systems, and electrical calculations.


Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.


WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY STANDS OUT


  • Explosive Growth: Join a global manufacturer making a major investment in U.S. operations.
  • Cutting-Edge Industry: Work directly in the rapidly expanding AI and hyperscale data center infrastructure market.
  • Meaningful Engineering: Design the electrical systems that support some of the world's most critical facilities.
  • Professional Growth: Opportunity to advance into Senior Electrical Design Engineering as the organization expands.
  • Global Collaboration: Work with international engineering, manufacturing, and technical teams.


If you have experience designing LV switchgear and want to apply your expertise in a high-growth environment, I'd welcome a confidential conversation.
