SrStaff Electrical Engineer Plant

Job Description

We are seeking an exceptionally skilled and experienced Staff/Senior Facilities Electrical Engineer with a specialized focus on commissioning, project execution, and operational readiness within a demanding semiconductor manufacturing environment. This critical role is responsible for ensuring the flawless integration of new and upgraded electrical systems, from design validation through to energized operation. The successful candidate will lead the development of essential project documentation, meticulously plan and execute commissioning activities, and safeguard the continuity of our fabrication processes during complex electrical modifications and tool installations, all while upholding the highest standards of medium voltage safety and electrical equipment maintenance.

• Commissioning & Startup Leadership:
• Lead all phases of electrical system commissioning for facility upgrades and new tool installations.
• Develop comprehensive commissioning plans, and protocols to validate system performance, functionality, and adherence to design specifications and operational requirements.
• Identify and resolve technical issues during commissioning, driving solutions to ensure timely and successful system energization and handover.
• Project Execution Documentation & Planning:
• Author, review, and approve detailed electrical project scopes of work (SOWs).
• Develop and plan electrical switching schedules (LOTO schedules) for complex outages, tie-ins, and energization sequences, minimizing impact to ongoing operations while maintaining stringent safety protocols, especially for medium voltage apparatus.
• Write and review comprehensive standard operating procedures (SOPs), maintenance procedures, and emergency response plans for new and modified electrical systems, incorporating best practices from NFPA 70B.
• Prepare and manage electrical change orders, submittals, and requests for information (RFIs) during project execution.
• Facility Upgrade & Tool Installation Support:
• Provide expert electrical engineering support throughout the project lifecycle for new fab construction, facility expansions, and tool installations.
• Ensure all electrical designs for upgrades and new tools comply with NEC, SEMI standards, corporate specifications, and power quality requirements for sensitive manufacturing equipment.
• Validate power quality and availability for new tool hook-ups, ensuring proper voltage, current, and harmonic levels.
• Power System Reliability & Management (during projects):
• Apply advanced load shedding and load restoration principles during project planning to mitigate risks associated with planned outages or unexpected power events.
• Review and validate protective device settings and coordination for new or modified electrical infrastructure to ensure safe and reliable operation post-commissioning.
• Conduct arc flash, short circuit, and load flow studies to support project design, commissioning, and operational readiness.
• Safety, Compliance & Operational Excellence:
• Champion electrical safety across all project phases, particularly during high-risk energization, testing, and maintenance activities, with deep expertise in medium voltage safety practices and procedures.
• Ensure strict compliance with NFPA 70E for electrical safety in the workplace, OSHA regulations, and NFPA 70B for electrical equipment maintenance.
• Develop and implement robust LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) procedures specific to complex electrical configurations, including multi-source and medium voltage systems.
• Maintain accurate as-built documentation for all electrical modifications and installations.
• Participate in incident investigations related to electrical systems, identifying root causes and implementing preventative measures.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent is required.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical engineering, including design collaboration, construction support, and operational troubleshooting.
• Proficient in power distribution systems, motor control centers (MCCs), VFDs, and backup/emergency power systems.
• Familiar with electrical codes and standards such as NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, and NETA.
