Company Overview:

MP Materials (NYSE: MP) is rebuilding American industrial capability for a new era of autonomy, robotics, and electrification.

We are the only U.S. company with a fully integrated rare earth supply chain—from mining and refining to advanced metal and magnet manufacturing. Our products include both the critical materials used to make permanent magnets and the finished magnets themselves—enabling next-generation technologies in robotics, automation, aerospace, transportation, defense, and energy systems. These materials are the foundation of physical AI—the convergence of computation, movement, and control.

We hire ambitious, mission-driven people who want to tackle complex challenges and shape the future of strategic industries. Our culture is rooted in teamwork, resiliency, and integrity, with a deep commitment to operational excellence and national purpose. MP is rapidly evolving from a materials producer into a leading U.S. manufacturer—and our people are driving that transformation.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Engineer to join our growing Electrical Engineering team. This role offers the opportunity to be at the forefront of a greenfield project where you’ll design, develop, and optimize complex electrical systems that support a wide range of chemical, mechanical, and thermal processes. You’ll work cross-functionally with controls, operations, and mechanical engineering teams to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable infrastructure.

The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in power distribution, system design, and industrial electrical standards, with the ability to take projects from concept through construction, commissioning, and operation.

Position Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, development, and support of low-voltage and medium-voltage electrical systems for new facility construction, process expansions, and equipment upgrades—managing all phases from concept through commissioning to full operation.
• Prepare comprehensive electrical 2D design documentation, including Single-line diagrams and schematics, Load and power distribution layouts, Grounding and lightning protection systems, Cable and conduit routing plans, Panel schedules, PLC/control panel layouts, Network diagrams and P&IDs. All using tools such as AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical.
• Review and approve vendor and contractor submittals, ensuring alignment with project specifications, safety standards, and applicable electrical codes (e.g., NEC, IEEE).
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (process, mechanical, controls, and civil) to ensure electrical systems are integrated effectively and designed to meet all project, safety, and regulatory requirements.
• Support other engineers by developing design documentation, electrical calculations, technical reports, and specifications as required.
• Assist in system-level analysis, including load calculations, short-circuit studies, arc flash assessments, and protective device coordination using tools like SKM PowerTools.
• Contribute to the creation and enforcement of internal electrical design standards, templates, and documentation protocols.
• Provide field engineering support during construction, commissioning, and startup, including resolving RFIs, reviewing redlines, and ensuring as-built accuracy.
• Develop and maintain maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for electrical infrastructure to support safe and efficient long-term operations.
• Participate in interpreting and applying industry codes, standards, and best practices, such as NEC, IEEE, IEC, OSHA, and NRTL guidelines.
• Ensure all electrical projects meet MP Materials’ expectations for safety, reliability, quality, and sustainability.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related field.
• 3+ years of relevant experience in electrical design, preferably in an industrial, chemical, or manufacturing environment.
• Proficient with AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical for schematic and layout design.
• Working knowledge of electrical codes and standards: NEC, IEEE, IEC, OSHA, NRTL, and UL.
• Experience designing and reviewing control panels, distribution panels, and motor control systems.
• Understanding of power system components, including transformers, switchgear, MCCs, VFDs, UPS, and backup generators.
• Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, equipment specifications, and process flow diagrams.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to work effectively across disciplines and with field technicians.
• Ability to develop and maintain awareness of occupational hazards and safety precautions.

Desired Qualities:

• EIT certification or ability to obtain.
• Experience with SKM PowerTools or similar software for power studies.
• Familiarity with 3D design tools such as SolidWorks, Navisworks, or Revit.
• Understanding of medium-voltage distribution systems (4.16kV, 13.8kV, etc.).
• Knowledge of safety instrumented systems (SIS) and industrial electrical reliability practices.
• Field experience with commissioning, troubleshooting, and startup of electrical systems.
• Proven ability to manage priorities across multiple projects and deliver high-quality work under deadlines.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
