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.

Responsibilities

• Develop, analyze, and implement electrical engineering solutions spanning power distribution, motor/generator systems, instrumentation, and controls, along with the integration challenges that bridge these domains.
• Serve as a technical contributor on a small team with wide-ranging scope, independently determining technical approaches and adapting to shifting priorities and problem types.
• Interface with multiple stakeholder groups-including operations, manufacturing, test, and external partners-to gather requirements, communicate technical direction, and align on solutions.
• Provide engineering input across supporting disciplines, including safety and failure-effects analysis, systems engineering, configuration management, quality, work-instruction authoring, work scheduling, technical design/drafting, 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 supporting procurement of 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
