The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in medium-voltage power systems, switchgear, protective relaying, and electrical design for modular or mission-critical environments.


Key Responsibilities

Electrical Design & Power System Architecture

• Develop medium-voltage and low-voltage power system architectures for modular electrical systems, including one-line and three-line diagrams as required
• Design and integrate medium-voltage power distribution systems for modular E-House and skid-based solutions
• Size and specify major electrical equipment in accordance with applicable standards, including UL 1558, UL 891, UL 857, UL 67, and IEEE C37 series
• Select interrupting ratings and short-circuit withstand ratings based on calculated available fault current
• Define grounding and bonding strategies in accordance with NEC, IEEE 80, and IEEE 3007, including skid/baseframe bonding and site grounding interfaces
• Develop control and interlock philosophies including EPO, permissives, trip schemes, and alarms in coordination with controls and protection teams
• Develop schematics for auxiliary AC/DC power, lighting, receptacles, panelboards, and control panels, including UL 508A applications where applicable

Equipment Integration & Protection Systems

• Specify and integrate transfer switch systems in accordance with UL 1008 and UPS systems in accordance with UL 1778, including maintenance bypass schemes and redundancy topologies such as N, N+1, and 2N
• Coordinate battery and energy storage integration in accordance with UL 1973 and UL 9540, including DC distribution, disconnecting means, monitoring, and safety interfaces
• Define protection philosophies and relay schemes consistent with IEEE C37 standards and support coordination settings development and review
• Coordinate electrical interfaces with HVAC, fire protection, and auxiliary systems, including NFPA 72 and NFPA 855 requirements where applicable
• Support arc-flash mitigation strategies and compliance with applicable safety and electrical standards

Documentation, Manufacturing Support & Project Execution

• Produce and/or review electrical drawing packages including one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, interconnects, and cable schedules
• Develop and maintain bills of materials (BOMs) to align with drawings, specifications, and manufacturing requirements
• Collaborate with procurement, project management, and production teams to support material readiness, project execution, and manufacturing success
• Support UL/NRTL listing efforts and major customer compliance programs
• Assist with first article inspection (FAI), factory acceptance testing (FAT), commissioning, and field troubleshooting
• Perform other job-related duties as assigned

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
• 2+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience; 4+ years preferred
• Experience with medium-voltage equipment in the 5kV-35kV range, switchgear, and protective relaying
• Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE C37 standards, IEEE 1584, and UL switchgear/switchboard standards
• Experience performing short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash studies
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical and/or SolidWorks Electrical
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering, production, and project teams
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced technical environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with arc-resistant medium-voltage switchgear in accordance with IEEE C37.20.7
• Data center power architecture experience
• NFPA 110 emergency power systems experience
• Energy storage system integration experience, including UL 9540
• Utility interconnection coordination experience
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) actively working toward licensure
