Senior Electrical Engineer

About the role

This is a remote role supporting Westinghouse’s mission to provide clean energy solutions. We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer – BESS Engineering & Digital Tools on behalf of our client. This is a 1-year contract assignment (W-2). You will join the Engineering & Construction Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) team. You will provide core electrical engineering support for utility-scale BESS and inverter-based resource projects while helping modernize and scale engineering workflows through automation, internal software tools, and AI-assisted development.

Responsibilities

• Review one-line diagrams, equipment specifications, electrical calculations, design drawings, and technical studies for accuracy, completeness, and constructability for utility-scale BESS and other inverter-based resource projects.
• Support engineering activities involving batteries, power conversion systems and inverters, transformers, switchgear, cables, grounding, protection, controls, and auxiliary power systems, and support their technical evaluation.
• Identify repetitive, manual, or inconsistent engineering workflows that can be improved through automation or internal software tools.
• Develop and maintain engineering applications, calculation tools, data-validation utilities, dashboards, and workflow automation using AI-assisted development tools and common software languages.
• Use AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Devin, or similar platforms to accelerate software development, testing, documentation, and maintenance.
• Help develop responsible practices for the use of AI in engineering workflows, including technical validation, data handling, cybersecurity, and human review.

Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (or related field).
• 5+ years of engineering experience in power, energy, data center, or industrial infrastructure projects.
• Understanding of power system fundamentals: one-line diagrams, protection and controls, grounding, arc flash, and interconnection.
• Ability to validate software-generated engineering results against accepted calculations.

Pay

The base salary range for this position, which is dependent upon experience, qualifications and skills, is estimated to be $55.00/hr. to $60.00/hr.
