Job Summary
The Senior Electrical Engineer serves as a core technical authority for industrial power generation, paralleling switchgear systems, and complex microgrid architectures. In this role, you will own the end-to-end electrical design integrity, short-circuit protection coordination, and control architecture for high-reliability power systems deployed nationwide. You will lead advanced system modeling, perform rigorous power system studies, oversee low- and medium-voltage control system integration, and act as a primary technical consultant for grid-interconnection requirements and regulatory compliance.
Essential Duties
Protection Coordination & System Modeling: Lead advanced power system studies—including short-circuit analysis, arc flash mitigation, load flow, and protective relay coordination—utilizing industry-standard software (e.g., ETAP, SKM Power*Tools).
Medium & Low-Voltage System Design: Design complex low- and medium-voltage power distribution systems, industrial generator packaging, and paralleling switchgear assemblies.
Control Systems Integration: Oversee the development and integration of advanced control architectures, ranging from individual generator control systems to site-level PLC logic and monitoring systems.
Grid-Interconnection & Utility Interface: Provide critical engineering insight and technical coordination for grid-interconnection studies, ensuring seamless synchronization between distributed power systems and utility networks.
Regulatory & Code Compliance: Ensure complete compliance with applicable codes and standards (such as NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, and UL requirements) across both equipment manufacturing and site-level deployments.
Technical Project Leadership: Manage technical workstreams across cross-functional engineering, production, and field teams to keep complex power system projects moving forward efficiently.
Advanced Root-Cause Analysis: Serve as an advanced escalation point for complex electrical, mechanical, and control system anomalies during factory testing, validation, and field implementation.
Lead Project Engineer: Responsible for design from concept through commissioning for utility-scale and industrial power projects, including preparation of specifications, drawings, and material lists.
Collaborate: Work with Cross-Functional Teams including civil, mechanical, and operations staff to coordinate project schedules, budgets, and deliverables.
Provide Technical Leadership to junior engineers, drafters, and field personnel, including mentoring and training on power system principles and safety practices.
Conduct Site Visits to support construction, commissioning, troubleshooting, and performance verification of electrical systems.
Interface with Clients, Utilities, and Regulatory Agencies to address technical questions, provide progress updates, and resolve design or operational issues.
Respond to Operational Issues in real-time, providing root cause analysis and corrective actions for system disturbances or equipment failures.
All other duties assigned.
