• Develop, analyze, and implement electrical engineering solutions spanning power distribution, motor/generator systems, instrumentation, and controls, along with the integration challenges that bridge these domains
• Serve as a technical contributor on a small team with wide-ranging scope, independently determining technical approaches and adapting to shifting priorities and problem types
• Interface with multiple stakeholder groups—including operations, manufacturing, test, and external partners—to gather requirements, communicate technical direction, and align on solutions
• Provide engineering input across supporting disciplines, including safety and failure-effects analysis, systems engineering, configuration management, quality, work-instruction authoring, work scheduling, technical design/drafting, and process development
• Perform troubleshooting and root-cause analysis on electrical and electromechanical systems, and recommend corrective actions
• Support preventative and corrective maintenance of electrical systems, including identifying and supporting procurement of critical spare parts
• Configure and support basic networking infrastructures
• Apply and support Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), de-energization, and other safe-work practices in design and execution
• Design and evaluate electrical systems for installation in hazardous (classified) locations
• Leverage AI-enabled engineering tools to improve analysis, documentation, and design efficiency
• Document designs, analyses, and decisions to support traceability and configuration control

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
• 3+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience
• Experience with low-voltage and medium-voltage systems including interpreting analyses and studies
• Functional knowledge of motors, generators, and facility power systems
• Experience with instrumentation and controls, including hardware such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)
• Hands on experience with preventative and corrective maintenance, troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills
• Familiarity with Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and de-energization procedures
• Demonstrated experience working in dynamic, high-energy operational environments
• Excellent verbal, written, and graphical communication skills
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment
• Proficiency using AI tools in an engineering workflow

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline
• Experience designing for hazardous (classified) areas (e.g., Class I, Division 2)
• Experience with failure investigations
• Hands on experience supporting systems engineering, configuration management, or quality processes
• Experience authoring work instructions and developing processes
• Working knowledge of basic networking systems
• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., NEC, NFPA 70E / arc flash) and PLC/controls platforms
