Imagine powering the facilities that manufacture the world's most advanced microchips and enable the technologies that define modern life and leading the team that makes it happen. At SSOE, you won't just be executing tasks; you'll continuously expand your expertise by confronting diverse and complex electrical engineering challenges unique to the semiconductor and advanced high-tech industrial sectors, while simultaneously guiding the culture, growth, and operational excellence of your office.

You'll be supported by access to advanced training, leading design and analysis tools, and a collaborative multidisciplinary culture. We foster your ambition with clear pathways for career progression, whether your aspiration is technical leadership, project management, becoming a revered subject matter expert in mission-critical power systems, or growing as a regional leader. This role places you at the heart of a truly integrated team environment that champions knowledge sharing, innovation, and technical excellence, backed by the stability and proven delivery of a well-established firm.

As a Senior Electrical Engineer and Office Leader at SSOE, you will be a pivotal force in shaping both the electrical infrastructure of advanced semiconductor fabrication facilities and the professional community within your office. Your ability to inspire teams, build enduring client partnerships, and represent SSOE to stakeholders will drive office success and market growth. You will thrive in a collaborative, design-build environment where your technical expertise, business intelligence, and strategic problem-solving skills will be highly valued.

This role offers the unique opportunity to work on technically complex, large-scale projects, lead and mentor internal engineering teams, represent the firm externally, and directly contribute to the success of our leading semiconductor clients and the sustained growth of our firm in this dynamic, high-growth sector.

At SSOE, we don't just talk about the future, we build it. As a leader in industry AI adoption, we empower our team to work smarter by providing responsible access to the industry leading AI Large Language Models, vibe-coding platforms, and securely integrating advanced tools into every role. From day one, you'll receive the training and support needed to leverage AI as a core tool for enhancing productivity, sparking creativity, and streamlining complex workflows.

• Lead and drive the electrical engineering design and planning process for a portfolio of complex, large-scale advanced high-tech industrial and semiconductor projects, from conceptual design and load analysis through construction administration within an integrated design-build delivery framework.
• Provide technical leadership and day-to-day oversight to internal electrical engineering project teams, ensuring the creation of coordinated, high-quality construction documents that meet our client's specifications, industry's best practices, and project schedules.
• Lead the design of comprehensive low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) power distribution systems, including MV switch gear, substation design and coordination, MV/LV transformers, low voltage switch gear and switchboards, motor control centers (MCCs), panel boards, busway distribution, and critical power pathways, ensuring selectivity, coordination, and arc flash hazard mitigation.
• Guide the seamless integration of electrical design with a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with all engineering disciplines to ensure coordination, constructability, and operational performance.
• Perform and oversee power system studies using industry-standard software (e.g., SKM Power Tools, ETAP, Easy Power), including short circuit analysis, protective device coordination studies, arc flash hazard analysis and labeling, load flow analysis, harmonic analysis, and motor starting studies to validate design integrity and safety.
• Lead peer reviews, quality assurance/quality control checks, and constructability reviews, with a particular focus on power distribution topology, protective device coordination, arc flash mitigation, and equipment clearances per NEC Article 110.
• Mentor junior and mid-level electrical engineers within internal project teams, fostering deep understanding of LV/MV power distribution design, power system analysis, cleanroom electrical considerations, semiconductor industry standards, and the technical detailing required for reliable mission-critical electrical infrastructure.
• Stay current with evolving codes, standards, industry practices, and emerging technologies.
• Lead the development and maintenance of electrical engineering standards, master specifications, templates, and power system study protocols to improve efficiency, consistency, technical quality, and speed-to-market across high-tech and…
