  • Perform troubleshooting and root-cause analysis on electrical and electromechanical systems, and recommend corrective actions
  • Support preventative and corrective maintenance of electrical systems, including spare parts identification and procurement
  • Configure and support basic networking infrastructures
  • Apply Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), de-energization, and safe-work practices in design and execution
  • Design and evaluate electrical systems for installation in hazardous (classified) locations
  • Leverage AI-enabled engineering tools to improve analysis, documentation, and design efficiency
  • Document designs, analyses, and decisions to support traceability and configuration control

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
  • 3+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience
  • Experience with low-voltage and medium-voltage systems, including interpreting analyses and studies
  • Experience with instrumentation and controls, including hardware such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
  • Hands-on experience with preventative and corrective maintenance, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis
  • Familiarity with Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and de-energization procedures
  • Demonstrated experience working in dynamic, high-energy operational environments
  • Excellent verbal, written, and graphical communication skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment
  • Proficiency using AI tools in an engineering workflow

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
  • Experience designing for hazardous (classified) areas (e.g., Class I, Division 2)
  • Experience with failure investigations
  • Hands-on experience supporting systems engineering, configuration management, or quality processes
  • Experience authoring work instructions and developing processes
  • Working knowledge of basic networking systems
  • Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., NEC, NFPA 70E / arc flash) and PLC/controls platforms
