Electrical Engineer - Integration

Xcimer Energy•Denver, CO

1d•Onsite

About The Position

Xcimer Energy is hiring an Electrical Engineer for its Integration team. This full-time, onsite position is based at the company’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado. The role translates control-system wiring and interconnect definitions into complete, buildable electrical design packages and carries those packages through fabrication, checkout, and handoff with the Electrical, Instrumentation, and Controls (E&IC) technician team. Initial work will support Xcimer’s directed energy program, which is developing multi-kilojoule-class pulsed lasers for air defense applications. Working within the Electrical Engineering department, the engineer owns assigned design packages from requirements through as-built documentation. The role involves independent work on problems of diverse scope, with review at key design milestones, and coordination with controls, mechanical, pulsed power, optics, facilities, manufacturing, and technician teams. The position also supports installation and commissioning on the floor, contributes to engineering standards, leads small work packages, and begins mentoring junior engineers and technicians.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related STEM field.
Typically 5 or more years of relevant experience in electrical design for control systems, industrial automation, or test facilities, including producing drawing packages that others build from.
Solid foundation in control-panel and enclosure design and schematic drafting using AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar.
Solid foundation in grounding, bonding, shielding, and EMI/EMC fundamentals for mixed power and signal systems.
Solid foundation in low-voltage power distribution, circuit protection, and wire and cable sizing per NEC, NFPA 79, and UL 508A.
Working knowledge of industrial control hardware, including PLC and EtherCAT I/O, remote I/O, sensors and actuators, signal conditioning, relays, and discrete, analog, and 4–20 mA signals.
Hands-on experience with field checkout and commissioning, including point-to-point verification, loop checks, and troubleshooting with multimeters and oscilloscopes.
Experience releasing and revising drawings through document or change control and working with PLM or document management systems.
Ability to work independently on problems of diverse scope, with work reviewed at critical milestones, and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance if required by future program work; a clearance is not required at the time of hire.
Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Nice To Haves

Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related STEM field.
Experience in pulsed power, high voltage, laser, accelerator, or national laboratory facilities, including isolation and fiber-optic signaling.
Experience with precision timing and trigger-distribution cabling, including coax, fiber, and matched-length runs.
Experience with harness-design tools such as Altium, Zuken E3, Capital, or similar, and working with harness shops.
Familiarity with safety-related controls, including interlocks, emergency-stop circuits, safety relays, trapped-key systems, and ISO 13849 or IEC 62061.
Familiarity with hazardous-energy control practices such as lockout/tagout, arc-flash labeling, and approach boundaries.
Experience with Beckhoff TwinCAT/EtherCAT, Siemens, or Rockwell platforms.
Experience working from P&IDs, instrument indexes, and loop sheets.
Experience mentoring technicians or leading small work packages.

Responsibilities

Translate controls I/O lists, signal lists, and interconnect definitions into complete electrical design packages, including enclosure and panel schematics, panel layouts, terminal schedules, cable schedules, harness drawings, connector pinouts, and bills of material.
Own assigned design packages from requirements through as-built documentation, including deriving requirements with controls and system owners, presenting at design reviews, releasing drawings through change control, and maintaining as-built records.
Design grounding, bonding, shielding, and isolation for controls, timing, and diagnostic signals in a pulsed-power, high-EMI environment, including copper-versus-fiber selection and clean signal reference grounds.
Specify and size control-power and instrument-power distribution, circuit protection, wire and cable, and enclosure components to applicable codes and standards, including NFPA 70, NFPA 79, and UL 508A.
Plan and lead handoffs to E&IC technicians, including build packages, work instructions, kitting, and build sequencing, and support technicians through fabrication and installation.
Develop and execute point-to-point checkout, loop checks, and commissioning procedures with technicians and controls engineers, and capture redlines through to as-built documentation.
Coordinate electrical interfaces with mechanical, pulsed power, optics, and facilities teams, including rack and enclosure placement, cable routing, penetrations, and power feeds.
Support installation and commissioning on the floor, troubleshoot wiring and signal issues, and document root causes and design changes.
Contribute to Electrical Engineering standards, including drawing templates, symbol and part libraries, wire-labeling and color conventions, and design-review checklists.
Lead small work packages, coordinate with controls, mechanical, and manufacturing teams, and begin mentoring junior engineers and technicians.
