Job description

Senior Electrical Engineer - Industrial Electrical Systems

South Windsor, Connecticut | $120,000-$150,000 | Hybrid

An established manufacturer of industrial power generation equipment is hiring two Senior Electrical Engineers to work on the design and integration of complex electrical power and control systems.

This is a hands-on engineering role covering everything from electrical component selection and system design through to factory testing, commissioning and field support.

The company develops fuel cell power plants, but previous fuel cell experience is not required. Engineers from industrial automation, power distribution, energy systems and electrical equipment manufacturing are encouraged to apply.

What you'll be doing

• Design low and medium voltage electrical distribution and control systems.
• Size and specify transformers, power supplies, control panels, VFDs, UPS systems, circuit breakers, relays and associated components.
• Produce single-line and three-line diagrams, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and cable schedules.
• Integrate PLC/SCADA systems, instrumentation, sensors and associated controls.
• Carry out electrical calculations, cable sizing, arc flash analysis and design reviews.
• Prepare technical specifications and review supplier designs and documentation.
• Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), commissioning and troubleshooting.
• Work with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver complete electrical systems.

What we're looking for

Ideally, you'll have 5-10 years' experience in electrical design and systems integration, with practical knowledge of several of the following:

• Industrial electrical power distribution and control panel design.
• Sizing and selection of electrical equipment and components.
• PLC/SCADA integration and industrial instrumentation.
• AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN.
• NEC, NFPA 70E, UL, IEEE or related electrical standards.
• Factory testing, site commissioning and electrical troubleshooting.

An Electrical Engineering degree is expected.

Experience in industrial automation, power generation, manufacturing equipment, energy storage or similar complex electrical systems would be relevant.

You don't need experience in every area listed. We're particularly interested in engineers who have taken electrical designs through to working, tested systems.

Working arrangements

• Location: South Windsor, CT
• Hybrid: One day per week from home after an initial settling-in period
• Role: Individual contributor, with some mentoring opportunities
