About the Role

As part of a small, high-impact team responsible for integration, installation, refurbishment, maintenance, and operations, you will deliver end-to-end electrical engineering solutions across a broad scope. Working under general direction, you will independently determine and develop approaches to moderately complex problems, partner across diverse technical and operational stakeholders, and contribute engineering judgment to supporting disciplines.

What You'll Do

  • Develop, analyze, and implement electrical engineering solutions spanning power distribution, motor/generator systems, instrumentation, and controls, along with integration challenges across these domains
  • Serve as a technical contributor on a small team with wide-ranging scope, independently determining technical approaches and adapting to shifting priorities
  • Interface with operations, manufacturing, test, and external partners to gather requirements, communicate technical direction, and align on solutions
  • Provide engineering input on safety and failure-effects analysis, systems engineering, configuration management, quality, work-instruction authoring, and process development
  • Perform troubleshooting and root-cause analysis on electrical and electromechanical systems, and recommend corrective actions
  • Support preventative and corrective maintenance of electrical systems, including identifying and procuring critical spare parts
  • Configure and support basic networking infrastructures
  • Apply and support Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), de-energization, and other 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
  • 5+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience
  • Experience with low-voltage and medium-voltage systems including interpreting analyses and studies
  • Functional knowledge of motors, generators, and facility power systems
  • 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 skills
  • 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
