Jobbeschreibung

Leidos' Power Delivery Solutions is hiring an Electrical Engineer, Microgrid Systems to serve as the Engineer of Record (EOR) for complete microgrid system designs. This role is responsible for the detailed, multidisciplinary electrical engineering that integrates major microgrid components - PV generation, battery energy storage systems (BESS), backup/standby generators, MV/LV distribution, protection, and controls/SCADA interfaces - into a cohesive, constructible system design. This is a hands-on system integration and design role, not a controls, applications, or product-development position. The ideal candidate has a strong background in detailed electrical design and EOR-level responsibility for microgrid or distributed energy projects, and is comfortable owning the full electrical design package from concept through construction support. The Leidos Energy, Infrastructure, and Automation operation helps solve utilities' complex challenges through our full life-cycle, performance-based solutions. Our services include engineering, planning, project management, construction management, and commissioning for electric power substations and transmission and distribution lines; protection and controls design; and electrification programs. Utilities consistently come to Leidos for reliable power expertise, as reflected through our work with more than 75 investor-owned utilities and more than 100 municipals/cooperatives across the country as well as a growing number of private developers. If you're looking for comfort, keep scrolling. At Leidos, we outthink, outbuild, and outpace the status quo - because the mission demands it. We're not hiring followers. We're recruiting the ones who disrupt, provoke, and refuse to fail. Step 10 is ancient history. We're already at step 30 - and moving faster than anyone else dares.

• Demonstrated experience designing and integrating multiple DER asset types (PV, BESS, generators) into a single electrical system.
• Experience with MV/LV distribution system design, protection coordination, and interconnection design.
• Working knowledge of controls/SCADA interface requirements as they relate to electrical system design (controls design itself is not the primary focus of this role).
• PE license or ability to obtain PE licensure preferred

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with VRFB, lithium-ion, or other BESS technologies at the electrical design level.
• Familiarity with reciprocating engine/turbine generator integration.
• Prior EOR role on one or more completed microgrid or DER projects.
• Experience with utility interconnection standards and processes.
