Wiring Designer

$64k - $109.8k per year
Full-time

Industrial Electric Manufacturing


At IEM, we’re not just building innovative electrical distribution systems, we’re shaping the future. IEM is dedicated to delivering world-class solutions for complex power needs. After 75 years, we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Whether you’re an experienced professional or just starting out, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute, grow, and make a lasting impact on industries that power the world’s most dynamic markets.

Position Summary

The Wiring Designer is responsible for translating electrical schematics into detailed, point‐to‐point wiring diagrams and control panel layouts for production staff. This role ensures that every connection in our switchgear assemblies is accurately depicted, checked, and delivered on time. The Wiring Designer will use AutoCAD—leveraging in‐house tool palettes and custom blocks—to produce clear point to point wiring diagrams that meet company drafting standards and support efficient manufacturing.

 

Key Responsibilities


  • Interpret electrical schematics and produce point‐to‐point wiring diagrams utilizing AutoCAD along with in‐house palettes and custom blocks.

  • Develop control panel layouts indicating locations of devices, DIN‐rail, shipping split connectors, terminal blocks, wireways and other control panel mounted components.

  • Perform self‐checks on all wiring diagrams to verify every conductor, terminal, and connector matches the original schematic.

  • Participate in peer reviews to catch and correct any discrepancies before releasing drawings to production.

  • Update drawings promptly when Design engineering update the electrical schematics, ensuring production always works from the latest data.

  • Communicate with production staff to address red‐lines and clarify any questions regarding wiring diagrams.

  • Verify that diagrams function correctly on the shop floor—visually inspect panels as needed to confirm accuracy and identify potential build issues.

  • Escalate any critical discrepancies that cannot be resolved through the design engineering team.

  • Follow up regularly with Electrical Engineers to clarify ambiguous schematic details or resolve missing information.

  • Provide feedback on design for manufacturability concerns—highlighting complex wiring routes, crowded terminal strips, or space constraints.

  • Participate in team meetings to share lessons learned, discuss common error sources, and suggest process enhancements.

  • Conduct periodic visits to multiple plant locations (up to 2–3 times per year) to conduct in-person reviews of in-process panels and support production teams.

 

Qualifications


  • Minimum of 2 years of experience interpreting electrical drawings—such as point-to-point wiring diagrams or electrical schematics—for production, testing, or design.

  • Experience in panel-shop or industrial control drafting environments; direct switchgear-specific experience is a plus but not required.

  • Proficiency in AutoCAD.

  • Familiarity with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).

  • Exposure to document control systems or ECO/EO tracking databases is beneficial.

 

Compensation

The salary range for this role is $64,000 - $109,800.00 per year, based on location, experience, and qualifications.

 

Location

This position is available in multiple locations, including Vancouver (CAN), Fremont (CA) and Jacksonville (FL).
