The ideal candidate will have strong electrical CAD experience and the ability to create manufacturing-ready documentation while collaborating closely with electrical and mechanical engineers, project managers, and manufacturing teams. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a complex, highly technical scientific engineering project at one of the nation’s premier research laboratories.
Key Responsibilities- Create and maintain electrical CAD models, schematics, wiring diagrams, and panel layouts using project-approved CAD software.
- Develop detailed, manufacturing-ready electrical documentation to support fabrication, assembly, testing, and installation.
- Prepare and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), wire lists, cable schedules, and related engineering documentation.
- Review designs and incorporate engineering feedback, design-review comments, and approved engineering changes.
- Collaborate with electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, project managers, manufacturing personnel, and other technical staff to ensure designs meet project requirements.
- Support the integration of electrical and mechanical designs and product assemblies.
- Participate in design coordination and technical design reviews as needed.
- Maintain organized CAD files, design libraries, and revision-controlled engineering documentation.
- Work within Windchill, PLM/PDM systems, and other designated engineering and document-control systems.
- Ensure designs and documentation comply with applicable industry standards, codes, project requirements, and quality procedures.
- Develop engineering drawing revisions and complete design packages supporting manufacturing, assembly, installation, and other project activities.
- Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Drafting/Design, or a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience.
- 5+ years of professional experience producing electrical CAD designs.
- Demonstrated proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical, Autodesk Inventor, KiCad, or equivalent electrical CAD software.
- Experience developing manufacturing-ready electrical documentation, including:
- Electrical schematics
- Wiring diagrams
- Bills of Materials (BOMs)
- Wire and cable schedules
- Panel layouts
- Experience maintaining revision-controlled engineering documentation within a PLM or PDM system.
- Working knowledge of electrical engineering principles, electrical components, schematic development, and wiring practices.
- Familiarity with applicable electrical design standards and industry codes.
- Strong attention to detail, organization, and document-control practices.
- Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary engineering and project teams.
- Experience supporting DOE national laboratories, research facilities, particle accelerators, or other complex scientific or industrial engineering projects.
- Experience using Autodesk Inventor for 3D electrical or electromechanical design.
- Experience integrating electrical and mechanical CAD models.
- Experience with PTC Windchill or similar engineering configuration/document-management systems.
- Experience supporting fabrication, assembly, installation, testing, or commissioning of complex engineered systems.
This is a hybrid position based in Berkeley, California, supporting Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Advanced Light Source Upgrade Project. The role requires regular interaction with engineering personnel and access to project facilities and engineering systems; on-site work may be required based on project needs.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
