Power Systems Jobs in Wisconsin (NOW HIRING)

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer with robust experience in medium-voltage power systems to support the design and development of complex power generation, distribution, and protection systems. The ideal candidate will be responsible for system-level design decisions, integrating multiple electrical components and subsystems, and ensuring compliance with safety, reliability, and regulatory requirements. A thorough understanding of medium-voltage equipment as a complete system is essential, along with the ability to evaluate electrical architectures beyond individual circuit designs.

• Develop system-level electrical architectures for medium-voltage power systems.
• Design and integrate power distribution, protection, switchgear, transformer, and control system solutions.
• Evaluate interactions of electrical components, protective devices, and subsystems within larger power systems.
• Support medium-voltage product development from concept through validation and release.
• Perform electrical system studies including short-circuit, protection coordination, and arc flash analysis.
• Ensure designs comply with safety, regulatory, and industry standards.
• Select and size major electrical components balancing performance, safety, reliability, and cost.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to address complex power system challenges.
• Support testing, validation, and implementation of new electrical system designs.

• Experience in medium-voltage systems-level design.
• Proficiency in electrical systems design, particularly for medium-voltage applications.
• Strong understanding of electrical distribution, protection, and power system architecture.
• Knowledge of medium-voltage safety, compliance requirements, and industry standards.
• Experience in evaluating protection schemes and electrical system performance.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Experience designing medium-voltage electrical systems (11,000 volts or higher).
• Capability to understand and integrate multiple electrical systems and components in a complete solution.

This role involves working with cutting-edge technologies in power generation and distribution. The work environment will require collaboration with cross-functional teams to address complex challenges, focusing on the development of solutions for demanding applications such as data centers. The position does not involve primary circuit design but requires a deep understanding of system-level design and integration.
