Principal Electrical Engineer

LEAD / PRINCIPAL ELECTRICAL DESIGN ENGINEER Deployable Energy Position Summary

Senior, hands‑on technical leader responsible for establishing and developing the electrical engineering capability within a growing advanced energy organization. Reporting directly to the Head of Engineering, this individual will serve as the company's foundational electrical engineering leader, responsible for defining electrical architecture, supporting product development, and enabling successful development of technology into customer environments. This role is heavily focused on product engineering, systems integration, and first‑of‑a‑kind technology development rather than traditional site‑based project engineering.

The successful candidate will provide technical leadership while remaining actively involved in engineering execution, system development, technical problem‑solving, design integration, and project delivery.

• Electrical Engineering
  - Provide technical leadership and execution across all electrical engineering design activities supporting product development, integration, and development.
• Electrical Systems Design
  - Develop and oversee electrical system architectures, designs, specifications, and performance requirements for complex engineering applications.
• Power Distribution
  - Design and integrate AC/DC power‑distribution systems to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation.
• Equipment and System Interfaces
  - Define and manage electrical interfaces between equipment, subsystems, and multidisciplinary engineering functions.
• Electrical Schematics and Documentation
  - Develop, review, and maintain electrical drawings, schematics, specifications, and controlled engineering documentation.
• Instrumentation and Controls Interfaces
  - Support integration of instrumentation, monitoring, automation, and control‑system interfaces within the overall electrical architecture.
• Testing and Technical Validation
  - Lead testing, verification, validation, troubleshooting, and technical issue‑resolution activities to ensure system performance and compliance.
• Supplier and Equipment Support
  - Collaborate with suppliers and equipment manufacturers on technical specifications, qualifications, procurement, and issue resolution.
• Engineering Configuration and Change Management
  - Maintain design integrity through disciplined configuration control, change management, and document‑governance processes.
• EPCM Support
  - Support engineering, procurement, construction, and management activities as required during development.
• High‑Speed Rotating Machinery / Generators
  - Provide technical expertise related to generator systems, rotating equipment, and associated electrical‑integration requirements.
• Safety‑Critical System DC Electrical Architecture – Develop, design and oversee robust DC electrical architectures supporting safety‑critical functions within highly regulated environments.
• FOAK Technology Development
  - Support the design, integration, and maturation of innovative first‑of‑a‑kind technologies from concept through development, testing, and technical validation.

• Serve as the senior electrical engineering design subject matter expert for the organization.
• Establish electrical engineering function, technical standards, methodologies, tools, and engineering practices.
• Lead development of electrical architecture for a standardized product platform while supporting customer‑specific development requirements.
• Provide technical leadership across product development, systems integration, testing, and technical validation activities.
• Lead and personally execute complex engineering work across multiple projects and programs.
• Participate in and lead technical reviews, design reviews, hazard analyses, and engineering…
