Electrical controls design engineers require a high level of analytical ability to solve the unusual problems that can arise during their jobs. As the job usually involves working in coordination with other engineers, good team spirit and interpersonal relations is needed. 

Other critical criteria include knowledge of product design and automotives, familiarity with basic machine types, high proficiency in reading and interpreting engineering drawings using the knowledge of advanced engineering methods, tools and procedures, testing, manufacturing and assembling.

Electrical control design engineers also help manufacturing electrical equipment like machinery controls, electric motors, lighting and wiring in automobiles and buildings, aircraft radar and navigation systems, power generating, transmission and controlling used by electric utilities. 

Electrical control design engineers can specialize in different fields such as mechanical, electrical, electronic biomedical, automotive and civil engineering. The projects undertaken are quite interesting and can range from redesigning to maintenance of automotives.

Compared to the other heavy equipment jobs, an engineer specializing in electrical control and design has a less strenuous job. Electrical controls design engineer jobs account for nearly 35% of the total engineering opportunities available. There are job options in nearly every heavy equipment and construction company and the flexibility of the job allows one to relocate quite easily.
