We are currently seeking a Electrical Design Engineer to join our dynamic team in Piove di Sacco (PD), Italy

Vertiv is looking for an Electrical Design Engineer to develop and maintain the electrical design of CW CRAH units, Thermal Wall applications and chiller platforms within the Thermal Management R&D and Engineering organization. The role is focused on chilled-water computer-room air handling equipment and chiller platforms for data center and industrial thermal applications, including electrical panels, power distribution, protection devices, wiring harnesses, cable routing, field wiring interfaces, component selection, electrical documentation and compliance support. The Electrical Design Engineer will support NPDI, sustaining and engineered-to-order complex projects, working closely with Mechanical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Procurement, suppliers, Quality, Service and Product Marketing.

What kind of work will you be doing?

• Develop electrical designs for CW CRAH, Thermal Wall and chiller products, taking responsibility for the sizing and selection of main electrical components, assemblies, protection devices and wiring solutions.
• Create and maintain electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, cable lists, harness documentation, connection guides, bills of material, manufacturing drawings and technical specifications.
• Design electrical architectures for standard and special units, balancing cost, quality, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, safety, project timing and customer requirements.
• Support electrical panel design, including component placement, heat dissipation considerations, cable management, segregation, grounding, labeling, terminal allocation and access for manufacturing and service.
• Cooperate with Controls Engineering to define control wiring, I/O allocation, sensor and actuator interfaces, communication connections, alarm contacts and connection guides.
• Support Manufacturing Engineering and production plants with clear shop-floor documentation, design-for-manufacturing improvements, assembly feedback, change management and issue resolution.
• Coordinate with suppliers and cross-regional electrical design teams on component selection, panel practices, wiring standards, alternative components, cost reduction and standardization opportunities.
• Analyze and resolve technical issues related to electrical design, including field issues, production non-conformities, component substitutions, obsolescence and product improvement actions.
• Contribute to NPDI deliverables by supporting design reviews, risk assessment, validation planning, prototype build, engineering release, engineering change orders and lessons learned.
• Support electrical compliance activities for CRAH units, including CE, Low Voltage Directive, EMC, machinery electrical equipment requirements, RoHS and project-specific regulatory needs.
• Provide engineering support for ETO-C projects, assessing feasibility, impact on standard platform, costed electrical solutions, lead time and documentation package requirements.
• Promote disciplined use of ECAD tools, PLM processes, standard templates, design checklists and engineering best practices across the CW product line and associated chiller platforms.
  
  

• CW CRAH units and chiller platforms for data center cooling applications, including fans, electrical heaters, humidifiers, dampers, valves, sensors, actuators, controllers, safety devices and power distribution interfaces.
• Thermal Wall applications within the CW product line, including electrical integration for service-corridor installation, high-density data hall a
