Original job description
Position Summary We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to lead and deliver the electrical design and product development of modular E-Houses supporting integration with generator sets, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and integrated microgrids. This role will define system requirements, select and size electrical equipment, and develop engineering packages and product specifications supporting procurement, manufacturing, testing, and deployment.
Key Responsibilities
- Define E-House architecture, system-level requirements, and technical specifications based on the selected gensets, BESS, and intended operating configurations.
- Develop single-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, schematics, equipment layouts, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, grounding details, and associated engineering drawing packages.
- Determine equipment ratings, sizing, and component mapping across applicable high-voltage (HV), medium-voltage (MV), and low-voltage (LV) interfaces and distribution systems.
- Experience designing or integrating electrical power systems for data centers or comparable mission-critical facilities, with familiarity in medium- and low-voltage distribution, backup power systems, and electrical redundancy.
- Specify and select switchgear, transformers, circuit breakers, protective relays, metering, cables, auxiliary power supplies, and related electrical components.
- Define voltage ride-through (VRT) requirements and coordinate equipment capabilities, protection settings, and controls interfaces to support required system performance.
- Develop relay and protection philosophies, including synchronization, interlocking, grounding, fault detection, and protective-device coordination.
- Determine applicable fire detection, fire protection, emergency shutdown, and life-safety requirements; coordinate their integration with relevant specialists and equipment suppliers.
- Develop and maintain E-House product specification sheets, document ratings, interfaces, environmental limits, performance requirements, safety provisions, and applicable standards.
- Perform or coordinate load-flow, short-circuit, protective-device coordination, and arc-flash studies.
- Develop equipment specifications and bills of materials; review supplier proposals, drawings, and technical submittals.
- Coordinate electrical interfaces with genset, BESS, power conversion system, and controls suppliers.
- Support design reviews, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), commissioning, troubleshooting, and design updates.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related discipline.
- Prior experience designing E-Houses, switchgear assemblies, or packaged power distribution systems.
- Demonstrated ability to translate system requirements into equipment ratings, component selections, engineering drawings, and product specifications.
- Working knowledge of electrical distribution, protective relaying, grounding, generator interconnection, and applicable HV/MV/LV equipment.
- Familiarity with applicable NEC, NFPA, IEEE, ANSI, UL, and IEC requirements.
- Proficiency with electrical drafting and analysis tools such as AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, SKM, or equivalent.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience integrating gensets, BESS, and hybrid microgrids with E-houses.
- Experience developing standardized modular products and configurable electrical architecture.
- Experience supporting manufacturing, FAT, SAT, and field commissioning.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license or eligibility.
Physical Requirements:
- Ability to reach, stand, walk, finger, grasp, feel, talk, hear, see and to perform repetitive motions.
- Sedentary work: Exerting up to 10 lbs. of force occasionally and/or a negligible amount of force frequently or constantly to lift, carry, push, pull or otherwise move objects, including the human body. Sedentary work involves sitting most of the time.
- Ability to reach with hands or arms, stand, walk, use hands or fingers, grip, grasp, feel, talk, hear, see, climb or balance, stoop, kneel, crouch and crawl and to perform repetitive motions.
- Ability to sit at a desk and operate computer for extended periods of time.
- The ability to lift and carry 15 lbs. on a regular basis is required and at times lifting up to 25 lbs. may be required.
We are an equal opportunity employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy, age, national origin, disability status, genetic information, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
