About the role

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer with robust experience in medium-voltage power systems to support the design and development of complex power generation, distribution, and protection systems. The ideal candidate will be responsible for system-level design decisions, integrating multiple electrical components and subsystems, and ensuring compliance with safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements. A thorough understanding of medium-voltage equipment as a complete system is essential, along with the ability to evaluate electrical architectures beyond individual circuit designs.

Responsibilities

  • Develop system-level electrical architectures for medium-voltage power systems.
  • Design and integrate power distribution, protection, switchgear, transformer, and control system solutions.
  • Evaluate interactions of electrical components, protective devices, and subsystems within larger power systems.
  • Support medium-voltage product development from concept through validation and release.
  • Perform electrical system studies including short-circuit, protection coordination, and arc flash analysis.
  • Ensure designs comply with safety, regulatory, and industry standards.
  • Select and size major electrical components balancing performance, safety, reliability, and cost.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to address complex power system challenges.
  • Support testing, validation, and implementation of new electrical system designs.

Essential Skills

  • Experience in medium-voltage systems-level design.
  • Proficiency in electrical systems design, particularly for medium-voltage applications.
  • Strong understanding of electrical distribution, protection, and power system architecture.
  • Knowledge of medium-voltage safety, compliance requirements, and industry standards.
  • Experience in evaluating protection schemes and electrical system performance.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Experience designing medium-voltage electrical systems (11,000 volts or higher).
  • Capability to understand and integrate multiple electrical systems and components in a complete solution.

Work Environment

This role involves working with cutting-edge technologies in power generation and distribution. The work environment will require collaboration with cross-functional teams to address complex challenges, focusing on the development of solutions for demanding applications such as data centers. The position does not involve primary circuit design but requires a deep understanding of system-level design and integration.

Pay

The pay range for this position is $65.00 – $85.00/hr. Individual compensation offered within this range will depend on qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental & vision
  • Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan – Pre-tax and Roth post-tax contributions available
  • Life Insurance (Voluntary Life & AD&D for the employee and dependents)
  • Short and long-term disability
  • Health Spending Account (HSA)
  • Transportation benefits
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Time Off/Leave (PTO, Vacation or Sick Leave)
