Job summary

Critical Loop, Inc. is seeking an experienced electrical engineer to own the system-level electrical design of our grid-scale power products from concept to production.

You will lead the development of single-lines, select components, manage BOMs, and ensure the design process is robust and auditable. You will conduct load flow, short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash studies, coordinate with mechanical/thermal/controls teams, and drive ECOs while maintaining NEC/UL compliance.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 5+ years of electrical design on power systems.
• Experience with switchgear or high-power electrical assemblies.
• Apply NEC and relevant standards to real designs.
• Run load flow, short circuit, coordination, arc flash studies; ETAP or SKM.
• Proficient in electrical CAD software.
• Experience making build-vs-buy and cost-down decisions.
• Authorized to work in the United States; no visa sponsorship.

Responsibilities

• Own the system-level electrical design of our products: single-lines, protection ratings, grounding, and component selection.
• Take products from first prototype to production release, and own the handover to Production.
• Author and own the product documentation and the process behind it: requirements, design reviews, and engineering change orders.
• Release and maintain electrical BOMs and single-line drawings under revision control.
• Run the power system studies yourself: load flow, short circuit, coordination, and arc flash.
• Work directly with the mechanical, thermal, and controls leads. The electrical design has to survive their constraints.
• Decide what we build in-house and what we buy, then take cost out of the electrical BOM without losing compliance margin.
• Keep designs compliant with the NEC and the applicable UL standards.
