· 5+ years of directly applicable experience in electrical engineering, applications engineering, power distribution, electrical equipment, or electrical reliability. 

· Strong ability to read and interpret electrical single-line diagrams and equipment drawings. 

· Working knowledge of low- and medium-voltage power distribution systems. 

· Understanding of breakers, bus systems, conductors, cable terminations, electrical connections, and common failure points. 

· Experience translating technical requirements into system designs, equipment selections, and BOMs. 

· Strong technical, analytical, and customer communication skills. 

Preferred Experience

Experience with any of the following is helpful:

· Switchgear, switchboards, MCCs, transformers, or other electrical distribution equipment. 

· Continuous temperature monitoring, predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, or industrial sensing. 

· Electrical equipment design, field service, commissioning, or maintenance. 

· Technical proposals, quotations, or customer-facing applications engineering. 

· Industrial communication systems and protocols. 

· AutoCAD, electrical design software, or PDF markup tools. 

· PE licensure is a plus, but not required.
