  • 2+ years of professional electrical engineering experience, preferably across multiple disciplines such as power systems, control systems, electronics, signal processing, embedded systems, or industrial electrical engineering.
  • Strong familiarity with industry standards and electrical codes, including the National Electrical Code (NEC), IEEE standards, and other relevant engineering regulations.
  • Hands-on experience with engineering and simulation tools such as MATLAB, AutoCAD Electrical, SPICE, Simulink, ETAP, or similar industry-standard software.
  • Experience preparing technical specifications, engineering reports, design documentation, or training materials is preferred.
  • Comfortable using modern AI tools such as ChatGPT or similar platforms.
  • Based in the United States.
  • Professional-level English communication skills.
  • Able to consistently commit approximately 10 hours per week.
Engagement Details
