         Own utility interconnection requirements, including interface with utilities, EPCs, vendors, and internal engineering teams.

         Develop and review single-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, grounding plans, panel layouts, electrical room layouts, BOMs, cable schedules, and electrical design packages.

         Perform or lead protection and coordination studies, relay settings, arc-flash analysis, and arc-energy-reduction strategies.

         Ensure designs comply with applicable NEC, IEEE, NESC, UL 508A, NFPA, and site-specific electrical standards.

         Support DC power system design, including rectifiers, DC distribution, insulation monitoring, grounding/earthing strategy, fault limitation, and overvoltage protection.

         Lead UL 508A control cabinet design, review, and manufacturing support.

         Translate high-level system requirements into buildable electrical packages suitable for procurement, fabrication, installation, and commissioning.

         Support RFQs, bid leveling, vendor selection, technical reviews, FAT, SAT, energization, LOTO planning, and startup procedures.

         Coordinate with mechanical, controls, process, software, and field service teams to ensure integrated system performance.

         Provide field support during installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and customer acceptance.

         Develop internal electrical standards, design guides, templates, and best practices to improve repeatability and reduce design cycle time.

         Mentor junior engineers and support technical development across the electrical engineering team.

         Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.

         10+ years of electrical engineering experience in industrial power systems, utility interconnection, power distribution, controls, or commissioning.

         Strong working knowledge of NEC, IEEE standards, UL 508A, grounding, bonding, electrical clearances, and electrical safety practices.

         Experience with MV/LV power distribution, transformers, switchgear, relays, protection coordination, and arc-flash studies.

         Experience developing electrical design packages, including SLDs, layouts, schematics, BOMs, and commissioning documentation.

         Ability to interface effectively with utilities, EPCs, vendors, customers, and internal engineering teams.

         Hands-on commissioning, troubleshooting, or field execution experience.

         Strong communication skills and ability to drive technical alignment across cross-functional teams.

         Engineer-in-Training, PE, or ability/desire to pursue PE licensure.

         Experience with hydrogen, electrolyzers, fuel cells, renewable energy, data centers, microgrids, or modular power systems.

         Experience with DC power systems, including rectifiers, 1,000 VDC+ distribution, insulation monitoring, and DC fault protection.

         Familiarity with ETAP, AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, ElectricalOM, or similar tools.

         Experience with utility-scale or industrial power systems up to MV/HV levels.

         Experience with generator plants, BESS, black-start systems, load shedding, or temporary power applications.

         Experience developing internal standards or converting international designs to U.S. NEC/IEEE requirements.

         Power system architecture

         Utility interconnection

         Protection and coordination

         Arc-flash and electrical safety

         Grounding and earthing

         UL 508A control panels

         DC power systems

         Field commissioning
