## About the role

- You've made the insulation coordination, bus bracing, and creepage and clearance decisions
- You've integrated third-party breaker elements or operating mechanisms into an enclosure and secondary design you owned end to end
- You've led a product team from first concept to production release and held the design freeze against late-arriving change requests
