Electrical Test Engineer

Job Summary The Electrical Engineer is a high level role responsible for the design, development and optimization of transformer testing equipment for distribution transformers (1 phase and 3 phase pole and pad mount transformers, dry type transformers). As an experienced engineer, this role involves providing technical ownership on complex projects, mentoring less experienced engineers and technicians and solving advanced engineering challenges. This role includes collaboration with cross‑functional teams, driving innovation, and ensuring that all designs meet the highest standards of performance, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Location & Relocation This role will be onsite in Raleigh, NC. Relocation assistance is available. Responsibilities Design and develop electrical test systems and components for distribution transformers, reactors and special transformers, ensuring compliance with industry standards (e.g. IEEE, IEC, CSA, NEMA). Conduct detailed engineering analysis to optimize cost, performance and efficiency. Perform and oversee failure analysis on design and production related issues, identifying root causes, and implementing corrective actions to improve product quality and reliability. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including manufacturing, quality assurance, and supply chain, to ensure seamless integration of designs into production. Mentor and guide junior engineers and technicians by offering technical expertise, support, and development opportunities. Prepare and maintain detailed engineering documentation, including design specifications, test plans, and technical reports. Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies to drive innovation and ensure competitive product designs. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, promoting innovation and efficiency in design processes and methodologies. Maintain a safe work environment for development, troubleshooting and acceptance testing of test equipment including medium voltage level (up to 100 kV). Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering; Master’s degree is a plus. 5–6 years of experience in electrical engineering, with a focus on transformer and related product testing and/or design. Proven ability to perform design projects from concept to production. Extensive experience with electrical testing of transformers and testing equipment.
