• Develop test strategies, devices, and systems; perform operating, stress, performance, experimental, and FAT testing.
• Perform electrical system studies, including load flow, short circuit, harmonic, motor starting, arc flash, and protective-device coordination analyses.
• Deliver hardware designs through prototype, beta, and production release while supporting product architecture, technical reviews, documentation, and quality practices.
• Troubleshoot existing products, conduct failure analysis, assess manufacturing-building infrastructure, and define required electrical modifications.
• Prepare statements of work, schedules, budgets, cost estimates, technical reports, regulatory submissions, and project status briefings; provide technical leadership and mentoring.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field and 5–10 years of directly related experience and/or training, or an equivalent combination; alternatively, a master’s degree with at least 3 years of directly related experience.
• US citizenship with the ability to attain and maintain a government security clearance.
• Proficiency with ETAP for electrical-system modeling, analysis, and simulation, including load flow, short circuit, harmonic, motor starting, AC/DC arc flash, and protection/coordination studies; SKM experience is also applicable.
• Strong understanding of IEEE standards for industrial, commercial, and nuclear electrical systems, plus NFPA 70, NFPA 70E, NFPA 79, and UL-508A.
• Familiarity with NRC General Design Criteria, NRC Regulatory Guides or NAVSEA equivalents, and regulated nuclear-facility environments.
• Familiarity with MIL-STD-461G and EMI/RFI testing, including planning, execution, and mitigation strategies.
• Ability to interpret and develop machine wiring diagrams, schematics, cable schedules, and drawings; experience with power distribution, short circuit analysis, load flow, and protective-device coordination.
• Ability to conceptualize high-complexity electrical designs, lead or oversee electrical designs and FAT testing under customer ISA 9001 or NQA-1 requirements, and work with compliance and safety requirements.
• Strong technical documentation, communication, problem-solving, planning, and project-management skills; ability to mentor entry-level and junior engineers.
• Willingness to stamp and certify designs under responsible charge; willingness to comply with import/export requirements.
