Job description

Electrical Design Engineer – UL 508A

Location: Lewisville, TX – Onsite

Salary: $120,000–$150,000 + substantial bonus package

Relocation assistance available

H-1B visa transfers may be considered

We’re recruiting several Electrical Design Engineers to join a fast-growing engineering business developing advanced power-distribution equipment for AI and data-center infrastructure.

The core focus is the ground-up electrical design of industrial control panels: developing schematics and panel layouts, selecting compatible components, producing accurate bills of materials, and ensuring each design can be manufactured safely and compliantly.

The Opportunity

You’ll take ownership of control-panel designs from initial requirements through to production, working closely with engineering, sales and manufacturing teams.

A major part of the role will involve reviewing technical requirements and component selections, identifying incompatible or incorrectly specified parts before they reach production, and creating complete, accurate design packages for UL-listed equipment.

Responsibilities

Design industrial control panels and electrical control systems from the ground up
Produce electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams and complete design packages
Select control-system components and verify their technical compatibility
Develop accurate bills of materials, wire schedules and supporting documentation
Design in accordance with UL 508A, UL 891, NEC Article 409 and related standards
Work closely with mechanical, manufacturing and applications engineering teams
Support testing, troubleshooting and the transition of designs into production

What We’re Looking For

Strong experience designing industrial control panels or electrical control systems
Demonstrable experience creating panel designs from a blank sheet, not solely modifying existing drawings
Practical knowledge of component and part selection, including compatibility checks
Working knowledge of UL 508A and experience within a UL-listed panel shop or manufacturing environment
Proficiency with SolidWorks Electrical or similar
Candidates using AutoCAD Electrical or similar electrical-design software will also be considered
Experience producing schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams and bills of materials

Compensation

Base salary of $140,000–$160,000
Personal performance bonus of up to 10%, paid in December
Company performance bonus of up to 35% or more, depending on company performance, paid in March
Bonuses will be prorated during the first year based on the successful candidate’s start date
Comprehensive wider benefits package

Relocation and Visa Support

Candidates already based in Texas are welcomed, but this search is open across the United States.

Relocation assistance may be available for the right candidate, and qualified professionals requiring an H-1B visa transfer are encouraged to apply. Visa support will be considered individually and is limited to a small number of exceptional hires.

This is an opportunity to join a rapidly scaling engineering organisation working at the forefront of AI and data-center power infrastructure, with multiple positions available and significant scope for long-term progression.

Visa sponsorship record

No public sponsorship records found

We didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name Octagon Group in the Department of Labor and USCIS data. That doesn't mean the job can't be sponsored — the company may file under a different legal name, be new to sponsorship, or sponsor a visa that isn't in these datasets (for example H-2B or J-1).

Tip: ask the recruiter early, in writing, which visa they sponsor and whether they cover the legal and filing fees.

Which visas can work for this job

Occupation: Electrical Engineers (SOC 17-2071).

Mentioned in the listing
H-1B
H-1B cap-exempt employer
Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).
TN (citizens of Canada and Mexico)
This kind of role may fit the USMCA profession “Engineer” — it depends on the actual duties. No lottery, no cap; you need the matching degree or license.
E-3 (Australia) and H-1B1 (Chile, Singapore)
Same degree requirement as H-1B, but no lottery and a separate quota that is rarely filled.
O-1 (extraordinary ability)
For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.
STEM OPT extension (F-1 students)
Requires an E-Verify employer. We didn't find this company in the E-Verify list — ask HR.

Salary vs prevailing wage

Level III (experienced)

Electrical Engineers · Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX. Annual prevailing wages set by the Department of Labor (OFLC).

L1L2L3L4

Level	Prevailing wage	H-1B lottery odds*
Level I	$79,435	~15%
Level II	$103,771	~31%
Level III	$128,086	~46%
Level IV	$152,422	~61%

This job pays $140,000–$160,000 a year — that's Level III (experienced). In the wage-weighted H-1B lottery a Level III registration gets 3 entries; estimated selection chance about 46% — better than average.

* Odds are DHS projections for the FY2027 wage-weighted lottery (actual results vary by year and employer). Since the FY2027 cap season the H-1B lottery is weighted by wage level: Level I = 1 entry, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4. The level is set by the offered wage against the prevailing wage for the occupation and worksite. Separately, a $100,000 fee for new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US was announced in 2025; as of September 2026 a federal court ruling keeps it unenforceable while appeals continue — check the current status.
