Lead Electrical Engineer

Description

Are you an experienced electrical engineer driven by solving complex, mission‑critical power challenges? At RK Mission Critical, you’ll lead the design and integration of advanced modular power systems – from UPS systems and switch gear to modular data centers, power modules, and e‑houses.

As a second‑generation, family‑owned enterprise, RK Industries, LLC (RK) offers a diverse range of construction, manufacturing, advanced fabrication and building services. Led by Rick and Jon Kinning, RK represents seven distinct lines of business that work together to provide seamless project collaboration. Our exclusive building methodologies, accredited safety standards and professional execution allow us to turn our customers’ greatest concepts into reality.

The Lead Electrical Engineer is a senior‑level technical expert responsible for designing, integrating, and optimizing power distribution systems for RK Mission Critical’s modular electrical product designs. This position leads complex electrical design efforts involving UPS systems, switchboards, and switch gear integration while providing advanced technical guidance to engineering, production, and field teams. The Lead Electrical Engineer ensures all electrical systems are engineered for code compliance, reliability, safety, and manufacturability within a modular production environment.

• Lead the electrical design for modular infrastructure supporting mission‑critical applications, including but not limited to modular data centers, power modules, e‑houses, electrical skids, and other specialized electrical systems.
• Develop and review single‑line diagrams, schematics, and wiring layouts for both AC and DC systems supporting critical power applications.
• Lead and interpret the design and integration of Building Management Systems (BMS), security, controls, and networking infrastructure within modular power and data center solutions.
• Utilize AutoCAD, Revit, and other electrical design platforms to develop detailed models, layouts, and construction drawings for modular power systems, ensuring design accuracy, coordination and manufacturability.
• Evaluate and specify electrical components including transformers, busways, panel boards, cable tray, cable bus etc.
• Partner with supply chain and operations teams to review vendor equipment designs, verify technical data, and approve submittals for major electrical equipment.
• Provide technical feedback during shop drawing and build reviews to ensure wiring details, terminations and layouts meet manufacturing and code requirements.
• Ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA 70/70E, UL, IBC and IEC standards as applicable to modular design and installation.
• Lead efforts to improve electrical design standardization, reducing rework and promoting scalable, repeatable system designs.
• Provide technical mentorship to Electrical Engineers and Designers, reviewing deliverables for accuracy, constructability and manufacturability.
• Act as a subject‑matter expert for all electrical power integration and modular system challenges during design and production phases.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical field.
  • Master Degree in Electrical or Power Systems Engineering is a plus.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license is a plus.
• 8+ years of relevant electrical engineering, design and integration experience in critical power systems, modular data centers or large‑scale electrical infrastructure.
• Proven expertise with UPS systems, switchboards and switch gear integration in prefabricated or modular environments.
• Deep understanding of power distribution design, protective device coordination and load flow analysis.
• Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit or equivalent electrical design platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross‑functional collaboration between engineering, manufacturing and field execution teams.
• Strong knowledge of electrical codes and standards (Uptime, NEC, NFPA 70/70E, IEEE, UL).
• Excellent analytical, communication and problem‑solving skills with a focus on manufacturability.
• Strong background in DFM/DFA principles applied to electrical…
