• Develop and maintain schematics, wiring diagrams, rack and equipment layouts, cable routing plans, parts lists, bills of materials, specifications, interface documents, and installation work instructions.
• Use AutoCAD, 3D CAD, BIM, and electrical engineering tools to develop, evaluate, and maintain engineering designs.
• Evaluate field conditions, review contractor and subcontractor technical work, respond to field questions, and help verify installations against approved designs, technical requirements, and applicable codes.
• Support installation readiness, inspections, material planning, procurement, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning activities.
• Participate in electrical design reviews, multidisciplinary technical reviews, field reviews, interface coordination, and issue-resolution activities.
• Prepare field markups, as-built information, testing records, commissioning documentation, and other configuration-controlled engineering records.
• Perform work in accordance with applicable laboratory environment, health and safety, electrical safety, cybersecurity, site-access, and training requirements.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering field plus at least two years of related experience; master's degree plus at least one year of related experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Experience with electrical, electronics, or facility system design and implementation, including development and interpretation of schematics, layouts, wiring diagrams, cable routing plans, and bills of materials.
• Working knowledge of NEC requirements applicable to AC distribution and electrical equipment installation.
• Hands-on experience with AutoCAD, Revit or comparable 3D CAD software, and E-CAD tools used for schematic capture, electrical layout, simulation, or design for manufacture.
• Ability to develop practical engineering solutions, manage multiple assignments, and meet project deadlines.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to coordinate effectively across engineering and technical disciplines.
• Ability to perform required onsite field activities and a demonstrated commitment to safe work execution.

Preferred qualifications

• Five or more years of related electrical engineering experience, including experience independently leading design and implementation for complex systems.
• Significant experience with electrical distribution, equipment installation, cabling, cable routing, cable tray and raceway systems, grounding, or experimental electrical systems.
• Advanced knowledge of NEC and electrical safety requirements, including NFPA 70 and NFPA 70E.
• Experience with Revit, BIM, multidisciplinary 3D design coordination, SKM, ETAP, or Creo Parametric.
• Experience leading contractor or subcontractor electrical work and supporting integration, testing, commissioning, troubleshooting, procurement, cost, schedule, or installation execution.
• Experience in a research laboratory, national laboratory, particle accelerator, industrial facility, DOE environment, or comparably complex technical setting.
• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, especially with power electronics or power supply experience; EIT certification; or a PE license.

Work environment and assignment details

• Work arrangement: Full-time and onsite; field activity may include access to ALS accelerator areas and other laboratory or project spaces.
• Assignment term: Initial one-year period with the potential for two additional one-year extensions.
