DUTIES
The Electrical Engineers will be responsible for assembling, integrating, testing, and troubleshooting high-power Power and Energy Systems (PES) used in modular microgrids and advanced load applications.
The role ensures that system designs translate into safe, functional, and production-ready hardware. Ideal applicants will be comfortable working in a lab, industrial, or high-bay environments, have a strong troubleshooting mindset and attention to detail, and able to work with incomplete or evolving requirements
System Build & Integration
Assemble PES hardware including power converters, energy storage systems, PDUs, contactors, protection devices, and thermal subsystems.
Integrate rack-level and containerized systems, ensuring proper mechanical fit, cabling, grounding, and labeling.
Support MOSA-aligned architectures to maintain modularity and component interchangeability.
Coordinate pre-charge, contactor sequencing, and safe bring-up of high-voltage and low-voltage buses
Testing & Validation
Develop and execute system-level and component-level test procedures.
Configure and operate programmable power supplies, loads, AFEs, and battery emulators.
Instrument systems to measure voltage, current, power quality, transients, and thermal behavior.
Conduct FAT, integration testing, fault insertion, and regression testing.
Verify performance against electrical, thermal, and control requirements.
Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis
Diagnose hardware, wiring, firmware, and controls issues during bring-up and testing.
Perform structured root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions.
Validate fixes through retest and document findings for internal and customer use.
Documentation & Configuration Control
Create and maintain wiring diagrams, one-line diagrams, test reports, and as-built documentation.
Support configuration management of hardware, firmware, and test setups.
Provide feedback to design teams to improve manufacturability, testability, and system robustness.
Safety & Compliance
Follow and enforce high-voltage and high-energy electrical safety procedures.
Support compliance with applicable military, industrial, and laboratory safety standards.
Participate in hazard analysis and risk-mitigation activities.
