What is a PE electrical engineer?

A PE electrical engineer is an electrical engineer who has earned a professional engineer accreditation. The scope of your duties vary depending on your employer, but professional electrical engineers are responsible for the design of electrical systems or components. As a senior member of an engineering team, you work on planning projects, managing document review, and determining approval of the work of junior engineers or designers before production or implementation. A PE electrical engineer may inspect existing electrical components or systems and create reports about them.
