Electrical Engineer

About the role

The Electrical Engineer specifies, designs, and seals electrical drawings for government facilities—including secure and sensitive facilities—and for mobile platforms in support of MAG Aerospace’s U.S. Government defense programs. The role carries the electrical design from requirements and specification through sealed, construction-ready drawings and construction support. Reporting to program leadership, it applies across a portfolio of programs rather than any single effort. The position designs facility and platform electrical systems, power distribution, grounding and bonding, backup power, and low-voltage electronic security, audiovisual, and information-technology infrastructure; produces and seals the drawings; and supports the design through construction and integration.

Responsibilities

• Specify, design, and seal electrical drawings for government facilities (including secure and sensitive facilities) and for mobile platforms.
• Design facility power systems to the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and applicable Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), including service and distribution, one-line diagrams, panel schedules, load and fault calculations, protective-device coordination, and arc-flash analysis.
• Design grounding, bonding, lightning protection, and backup power (generators, uninterruptible power supplies, and automatic transfer switches) for mission-critical and secure facilities.
• Design electrical systems for secure and sensitive facilities, including separation and emission-security measures, in coordination with security engineering.
• Design and integrate electronic security systems (access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance) and their power and cabling infrastructure.
• Design audiovisual, video-teleconferencing, information-technology, and structured-cabling infrastructure for secure and sensitive facilities.
• Design mobile platform electrical systems to MIL-STD-1275, including alternators, battery, inverter, regulated distribution, wiring, harness, and grounding, in support of the platform team.
• Produce, review, and configuration-control the electrical drawing set and support the design through construction, installation, inspection, and authority-having-jurisdiction review.

Requirements

• Facility electrical design experience, including power distribution, one-line diagrams, panel schedules, load, short-circuit and coordination studies, grounding and bonding, and backup power, to the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and NFPA 70E.
• Demonstrated experience producing and sealing stamped electrical drawings for construction and interfacing with the authority having jurisdiction.
• Department of Defense project experience and familiarity with Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC).
• Secure and sensitive facility electrical design, including separation and emission-security measures.
• Experience with electronic security systems, audiovisual and video-teleconferencing, and information-technology and structured-cabling infrastructure.
• Electrical design experience for platforms or vehicles, including direct-current power, wiring, and grounding (MIL-STD-1275 and MIL-STD-461 as applicable).
• Proficiency in electrical CAD and drawing production (AutoCAD, Revit, or equivalent).
• An active Professional Engineer (PE) license in electrical engineering, with the ability to seal drawings.
• U.S. citizenship.

Preferred Skills

• Prior U.S. military service or direct experience supporting U.S. military operations.
• ICD 705 and secure-facility accreditation experience.
• PE licensure in multiple states or an NCEES record for expedited comity licensure.
• Experience with lighting design, mechanical and electrical coordination, and renewable or backup-power integration.

Education

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited program.
• Master’s degree is a plus.

Experience

• Up to 10 or more years of experience, including lead design responsibility for facility and mission-critical electrical systems.
• Demonstrated experience producing electrical construction drawings.
• Department of Defense, secure-facility, ICD 705, electronic security, and audiovisual and information-technology experience is strongly desired.

Certifications, Licenses, and Clearance

• An active or current Top Secret/SCI (TS/SCI) clearance, or ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Department of Defense Top Secret security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information access (TS/SCI).

Travel

• Up to 25 percent, including OCONUS site surveys and construction support at Government sites.

Physical Requirements and Environmental Conditions

• Work is performed in office, laboratory, high-bay, facility, construction, and field environments.
• Must be able to lift up to 25 pounds, access construction and equipment areas, and work in and around vehicles and secure facilities.
• The position is contingent upon the candidate’s ability to meet applicable federal, state, and local jurisdictional physical and medical requirements.

Pay

The projected compensation range for this position is $120,000 to $160,000 (annualized USD). Salary is determined by factors including location, education, knowledge, skills, competencies, experience, contract-specific affordability, and organizational requirements.
