Superblock Electrical Engineer

About the role

We have an opening for a Superblock Electrical Engineer to play a key role in advancing next-generation weapons technologies in direct support of the nation’s strategic deterrent. In this position, you will help mature critical technologies driving the design, installation, and integration of advanced electrical and pulsed power systems within nuclear facilities, with a focus on ensuring safe, reliable, maintainable, and code-compliant operation throughout the facility lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Develop electrical design packages, including one-line diagrams, panel schedules, wiring diagrams, conduit and raceway layouts, equipment layouts, and construction specifications for power conditioning, pulsed power, high-voltage, and high-power electronic systems.
• Work with program and facility stakeholders to define requirements, identify equipment power needs, and translate them into conceptual and detailed electrical designs.
• Perform engineering analyses and calculations, including load studies, voltage drop, short-circuit, protective device coordination, grounding, and insulation coordination.
• Support the design and integration of specialized systems for electron beam applications, beam transport, vacuum heater power, and high-voltage ion attraction systems.
• Cook with fabricators and procurement teams to coordinate with fabrication and procurement activities.
• Review vendor and fabrication submittals, including data sheets, manufacturer documentation, factory acceptance test (FAT) documentation, and technical calculations, for compliance with project requirements.
• Participate in field walkdowns, construction, installation, testing, startup, and commissioning to verify systems are installed and integrated correctly.
• Provide engineering support for commissioning and programmatic testing by ensuring required power, instrumentation, communication, and feedback interfaces are in place.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related technical field, or equivalent combination of education and/or experience.

Minimum of 2 years of electrical engineering experience in a commercial, industrial, laboratory, or similar environment.

Familiarity with NEC principles and their application to electrical design and equipment integration.

Experience supporting electrical testing activities such as checkout, startup, acceptance testing, or commissioning.

Experience using electrical engineering software and design tools such as AutoCAD, SKM Power*Tools, ETAP, or similar tools.

Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work with engineering teams and prepare clear technical documentation.

Exposure to power conditioning equipment, pulsed power systems, high-voltage systems, high-power electronics, switching power supplies, instrumentation and controls, or related high-voltage applications preferred.

Qualifications

• Advanced experience defining electrical project scope in industrial facilities, including design criteria, calculations, specifications, drawings, work instructions, and construction documentation.
• Advanced knowledge of applicable electrical and nuclear codes and standards, including NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, NFPA 110, IEEE, UL, and DOE or nuclear safety requirements.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to prepare, present, and explain technical information to management, reviewers, and stakeholders.
• Ability to manage multiple engineering projects on budget and schedule while balancing competing priorities.
• Strong background in high-voltage pulsed power systems, power electronics, instrumentation and controls, and beam-related electrical applications.

Skills

EIT certification or PE registration in Electrical Engineering preferred.

Experience supporting electrical design or integration for power conditioning, pulsed power, high-voltage, or high-power electronic systems.

Experience in industrial, laboratory, institutional, DOE, or nuclear environments preferred.

Familiarity with nuclear safety requirements, configuration management, NQA-1 quality assurance processes.

Familiarity with hazardous location design, standby and emergency power systems, power system studies, or commissioning is a plus.

Experience using SKM Power*Tools, ETAP, AutoCAD, or similar software.

Exposure to electron beam systems, power electronics, instrumentation and controls, or related high-voltage applications preferred.
