Engineering solution
Geek Engineering provides electrical engineering and control panel design for machines, production lines and industrial systems: power distribution and motor circuits, schematics, panel layouts, I/O and cable schedules, and documentation packages reviewed against applicable NEC, NFPA 79 and UL 508A requirements per scope. Work is delivered from Rosemont, Illinois for Chicagoland plants and for qualified projects nationwide.
Electrical problems on machines are usually documentation problems first. Panels get modified for years without the schematics following, breakers and wire sizes drift from the original calculations, and the next upgrade starts with nobody certain what is actually installed. Good electrical engineering is as much about producing drawings that stay true as it is about the original design.
This engagement covers the electrical design scope end to end — from load calculations and component selection through schematics, panel general-arrangement drawings and the I/O documentation the controls work depends on. Because the same office does controls and software, the electrical package is designed around how the machine will actually be programmed and maintained, not thrown over a wall.
Scope
Project process
Agree what is being designed, which codes apply, and who holds listing and inspection responsibility.
Size the power system, select the major components and fix the panel architecture.
Produce schematics, layouts, I/O documentation and the bill of materials.
Walk the package with your team and the building shop; close comments in writing.
Answer shop questions during the build and update drawings to as-built after commissioning.
| Engagement | Start here when | What you receive |
|---|---|---|
| New design | A machine, line or panel is being built and no design exists yet | The full calculation, schematic and panel package, build-ready |
| Design-and-build coordination | You need the panel designed and the listed build managed to completion | The design package plus shop selection, build QA and delivery oversight |
| As-built recovery | The installed system and its drawings have gone separate ways | Field-verified schematics and a documented change history |
We do not publish fixed prices: these are the factors that determine effort. A scoped proposal follows the technical fit review.
The boundaries are stated rather than discovered: no professional engineer stamping, no in-house listed panel fabrication, and no licensed installation trade work. Each of those is identified during the standards review and assigned to the appropriately qualified party, with our design package written so their job is clean.

No, and we say so plainly: we design to UL 508A construction requirements as reviewed for each project's scope, and when a listed panel is required, the build is placed with a qualified listed shop — yours or one we coordinate. Design and listing are different responsibilities, and pretending otherwise is how panels fail inspection.
Professional engineer stamping is not a service we hold out; where a jurisdiction or contract requires a stamp, that need is identified during the standards review and the work is routed to an appropriately licensed engineer. What we deliver is the complete, reviewable design package that makes that review fast.
Yes — as-built recovery is a defined scope here, not a favor. The installed system is verified by inspection and photographs, the schematics are corrected to what is actually wired, and the delta gets documented so your team knows what changed and why it matters for the next modification.
Design, calculations and documentation are produced in Rosemont and delivered to projects anywhere in the United States; panel reviews and field verification are most practical across Chicagoland and Illinois, and are scheduled as planned visits for sites further out. Installation itself is licensed trade work and is assigned accordingly.
