About The Position

This role requires regular onsite presence to fulfill essential job responsibilities. The Facilities Power Distribution Electrical Engineer will act as Intel's System Owner of the site's electrical operations and associated distribution system. They will ensure planned and corrective maintenance are completed to keep the electrical system operating to meet key indicators and customer requirements, leveraging the Maximo database to coordinate and document work and related repairs. The engineer will lead the response to site electrical power outage disturbances and recovery, model the electrical power distribution system, track changes, troubleshoot electrical system problems, conduct breaker coordination and arc flash studies, track electrical load and capacity, and utilize EasyPower system software. Additionally, they will track, trend, and analyze electrical system usage using PME and ION power monitoring software, deliver operational efficiency, maintenance, testing, and commissioning solutions, identify, qualify, and implement system upgrades, and provide technical leadership to 3rd party support. The role involves developing, reviewing, and approving electrical specifications and maintenance procedures for power supply units and battery backup systems, ensuring compliance with quality and reliability KPIs, monitoring trends in equipment utilization, system capacity management, forecasting, and performance, and establishing virtual sensors to flag adverse trends. The engineer will report on equipment and system health metrics, build the manage, repair, and maintenance work order schedule, review equipment test reports, conduct life extension evaluations, develop long-term end-of-life replacement project work scopes and schedules, and create change point management. They will monitor project work impacting equipment or systems, manage critical spare parts inventory, partner with electrical utility providers, and partner with Projects teams to enable site growth. This includes conducting analysis, audits of electrical systems, and leading complex electrical engineering projects and initiatives, collaborating cross-functionally with design teams, construction, field operations, vendors, and R&D. The role also involves reviewing and approving electrical designs, collaborating with Project Managers, Project Engineers, architects, engineers, and contractors, applying NEC codes, and performing commissioning and project close-out to validate documentation, training, and systems manuals, ensuring electrical as-built drawings are incorporated into master CAD drawings.
