Develop preventive maintenance strategies and long-term infrastructure reliability plans.
Prepare technical documentation, system drawings, reports, and upgrade plans.
Manage and oversee external electrical contractors, serving as the technical representative for NOIRLab.
Ensure compliance with applicable electrical codes and safety regulations, including NEC and relevant state and federal standards.
Collaborate closely with telescope engineering, facilities, safety, and operations teams to minimize operational impact during maintenance and upgrades.
Participate in on-site troubleshooting of complex electrical issues requiring engineering-level expertise.
Provide electrical engineering support to other telescopes and facilities at Kitt Peak National Observatory as required.
Contribute to long-term strategic infrastructure planning for Kitt Peak facilities.

Required Education and Experience

Experience assessing and upgrading legacy electrical infrastructure.
Knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable safety standards.
Ability to work effectively both independently and in cross-disciplinary technical teams.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and documentation skills.
Proficiency with electrical design and documentation tools (e.g., EPLan, AutoCAD or equivalent) and Microsoft Office applications.
