Electrical Engineer, Substation Design R&D

Switchgear Magazine

Engineer substation designs for campus interconnection: HV yards and MV distribution substations in the reference design. Own the physical and electrical design: layouts, bus configurations, and equipment specs to utility standards. Interface with utilities and consultants: requirements translated into designs that pass review the first time. Standardize the substation: one design stamped across sites instead of bespoke yards. What We’re Looking For 10+ years of experience in HV and MV substation design, from one-line and physical layout through utility review, construction support, and energization. You’ve designed HV substations: physical, one-line, and protection interfaces. You’ve taken substation packages through utility review. You specify transformers, breakers, and switchgear at transmission class. You’ve supported substation construction and energization. You productize designs rather than redrawing them. You’re comfortable with regular travel: expect 25% or more, depending on business needs. Most of our engineering team, stakeholders, and work are based in Austin, TX, and we value working in person. We have a strong preference for Austin and run a hybrid model, but we’re open to other locations for the right role and candidate. #J-18808-Ljbffr Switchgear Magazine
