Key Responsibilities:

• Design and Development:
  Design, simulate, and develop electrical systems and components for low voltage (up to 1kV) and medium voltage (1kV–38kV) applications, ensuring compliance with industry standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC, UL).
• Prototyping and Testing:
  Build and test prototypes of power system components, including transformers, switch gear, circuit breakers, and control systems, to validate performance and reliability.
• Research and Innovation:
  Conduct research to explore new technologies, materials, and methodologies to improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability of LV/MV power systems.
• Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineers, software engineers, and product managers, to integrate electrical systems into broader product designs.
• Documentation:
  Prepare technical reports, design specifications, and documentation to support product development, regulatory approvals, and intellectual property filings.
• Standards and Compliance:
  Ensure all designs and processes adhere to safety, environmental, and regulatory standards, including NEC, NEMA, and OSHA requirements.
• Troubleshooting:
  Diagnose and resolve technical issues in power systems during development, testing, and field implementation phases.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering;
  Master’s degree is preferred. In lieu of a Bachelor’s degree, 8 or more years of qualified work experience may be substituted.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in R&D or design of low voltage and/or medium voltage power systems.
• Proven track record in designing and testing electrical components such as transformers, switch gear, or power distribution systems.
• Experience with power electronics, protection systems, and control systems is a plus.
• Strong understanding of power system components, including circuit breakers, relays, and busbars.
• Familiarity with industry standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC, UL, NEC).
• Knowledge of CAD tools (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, Solid Works Electrical) for schematic and layout design.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with renewable energy integration (e.g., solar, wind, energy storage, microgrids) into LV/MV systems.
• Familiarity with smart grid technologies or IoT applications in power systems.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent certification.

Physical Requirements:

• Prolonged periods standing on the manufacturing floor and sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Prolonged periods sitting, standing, walking, and performing repetitive tasks.
• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
• Must have vision correctable to 20/20 and be able to wear required PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, boots, gloves, etc.).
• Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds at a time.

Work Environment:
May work in various settings at the Maverick Power facilities, in offices, in multiple shops, and in commercial buildings. Maintaining…
