We are looking for a detail-oriented Electrical Engineer experienced in the design and specification of power systems as well as charging-site support systems like network communications, video surveillance, access control, and lighting. This engineer will support the implementation of safe, reliable, and cost-effective electric vehicle (EV) charging sites through a combination of standards development and site-specific design. In addition to the distribution of power at multi-megawatt scale charging sites, the ideal candidate will contribute to the application of on-site renewable and non-traditional power generation technologies.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Review customer’s performance requirements and translate to high level designs that may include single line diagrams, device layouts, metering & controls diagrams, and basis of design documentation.
- Lead design and overall solution development with the support of partners to ensure design requirements have been properly incorporated into deliverables.
- Provide options and recommendations for various solutions to project stakeholders.
- Review approval drawings of components critical to safe and reliable site operations.
- Support selection of electrical equipment at each site.
- Responsible for incorporation and adherence to customer contract design scope.
- Responsible for ensuring designs incorporate and adhere to local AHJ and utility requirements.
- Provide input on design impacts to project budget and schedule.
- Be available to quickly support tasks such as producing photometric calculations or re-formatting AutoCAD files in format acceptable to stakeholders such as utilities.
- Perform load profile and usage estimates used to inform minimum power requirements that meet customer needs.
- Develop layouts and perform power and energy calculations, and usage estimates, related to solar-PV, battery energy storage systems, electric vehicle batteries, and other power technologies.
- Work to develop design guides, standard details, and book specifications.
- Perform additional responsibilities as assigned.
MUST-HAVE:
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of relevant technical experience, including decision-making roles relative to product specification and electrical design.
- Significant experience applying the requirements of the National Electric Code.
- Familiarity with power distribution equipment such as switchgear, overcurrent devices, transformers, and power metering. Familiarity with medium voltage systems including application of relays preferred.
- Proficient in AutoCAD.
NICE-TO-HAVE:
- Proficient in Revit.
- Ability to perform power studies (arc-flash hazard potential, breaker coordination, and short circuit potential) with software tools such as ETAP.
- Experience using HelioScope or equivalent software for solar layout and production estimates.
- Experience with electric vehicles and the use/maintenance of DC equipment.
LOCATION:
Compensation ($100,000 to $150,000): Exact compensation may vary based on skills, experience, and location. Our total compensation package includes the base salary and competitive benefits.
