Electrical Engineer II

MESA POWER SOLUTIONS LLC • Evansville, WY

22d • $96,000 - $106,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Operating independently of day-to-day Senior Engineering oversight, the Electrical Engineer II owns the design, integration, optimization, and documentation of advanced industrial power generation systems from concept through production. This role carries full accountability for control system architecture, safety and protection analysis, code compliance, and field-testing and troubleshooting performance, and serves as the primary technical resource other engineers and technicians rely on. This role is ideal for an engineer ready to take full ownership of complex power systems, from high-level system design through final sign-off on PLC logic, protection schemes, and fault analysis, and to begin functioning as a subject-matter expert within the team.
