About The Position

Arizona State University Facilities Development and Management is seeking an experienced Senior Engineer for its MacroTechnology Works site. The role focuses on power distribution systems in a mission-critical manufacturing environment, particularly semiconductor manufacturing or mission-critical data center facilities. The engineer will learn and maintain knowledge of the existing distribution system by reviewing documentation and working with ASU site facilities engineers and electricians. They will maintain the site single-line diagram and electrical panel schedule database, review arc-flash calculations and electrical safety protocols, and guide or review designs proposed by outside consultants. The position represents ASU in design reviews for facilities base builds and semiconductor tool installations, advises on electrical maintenance best practices, and works with operations staff to develop system budgets, improve operating costs, and plan reliability and capital improvements. The engineer also serves as the site liaison to Salt River Project, coordinating electrical maintenance and outage activities.
