I would like to share some information related to electric design.
Electrical design includes planning, creating, testing and supervising the development and installation of electrical equipment, including lighting equipment, power systems, power distribution, fire and life safety systems, electronic components, and voice and data communications infrastructure. Typically, workers in this field are electrical engineers with bachelor’s or even master’s degrees in electrical engineering.

Electrical engineers in electrical design must be technically strong with a variety of engineering and design software packages and various laboratory equipment and instruments. They should have skills to interact with clients and other professionals, including sales & marketing, mechanical engineers, software engineers, research & development, support personnel and others.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Interesting enough.
Are you considering that kind of job for your own employment?
