About the role
The Electrical Engineer designs and integrates medium-voltage power distribution systems for modular solutions serving mission-critical data centers and industrial markets (oil & gas, renewables/BESS, mining, and utility).
Key Responsibilities
- Develop power system architectures (one-lines, three-lines as required) for MV (5kV–35kV class) and LV modular systems.
- Size and specify major equipment in accordance with applicable standards, including: UL 1558, UL 891, UL 857, UL 67 IEEE C37 series (e.g., C37.20.2, C37.20.7).
- Select equipment interrupting ratings and short-circuit withstand ratings consistent with calculated available fault current.
- Define grounding and bonding strategies in accordance with NEC and IEEE 80 / IEEE 3007, including skid/baseframe bonding and site grounding interfaces.
- Specify and integrate transfer switch systems (UL 1008) and UPS systems (UL 1778), including maintenance bypass schemes and redundancy topologies (N, N+1, 2N).
- Coordinate battery and energy storage integration (UL 1973, UL 9540), including DC distribution, disconnecting means, monitoring, and safety interfaces.
- Define protection philosophies and relay schemes consistent with IEEE C37 standards; coordinate settings development and review.
- Develop control and interlock philosophies (EPO, permissives, trip schemes, alarms) in coordination with controls and protection engineers.
- Develop schematics for auxiliary AC/DC power, lighting, receptacles, panelboards, and control panels (UL 508A where applicable).
- Cook up electrical interfaces with HVAC and fire protection systems (NFPA 72, NFPA 855 as applicable).
- Support UL/NRTL listing efforts and major customer compliance programs.
- Produce and/or review electrical drawing packages (one-lines, schematics, wiring diagrams, interconnects, cable schedules).
- Develop and maintain bills of materials (BOMs) for designed products, ensuring alignment with drawings, specifications, and manufacturing requirements.
- Collaborate with procurement, project management, and production teams to support material readiness, project execution, and manufacturing success.
- Support FAI/FAT, commissioning, and field troubleshooting.
- Performs other job-related duties as necessary or assigned.
Qualifications
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
- Minimum 4 years of experience in industrial, utility, or mission-critical power distribution design.
- Demonstrated experience with MV equipment (5kV–35kV class), including switchgear and protective relaying.
- Working knowledge of: NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 70E, IEEE C37 series, IEEE 1584, UL switchgear/switchboard standards.
- Experience performing or leading short circuit, coordination, and arc-flash studies.
- Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical and/or SolidWorks Electrical.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with arc-resistant MV switchgear (IEEE C37.20.7).
- Experience with data center power architectures (2N, distributed redundant, catchers).
- Familiarity with NFPA 110 emergency power systems.
- Experience with UL 9540 energy storage systems integration.
- Utility interconnection coordination experience.
- PE license or EIT with path to licensure.
