Power Studies Engineer

CM Mission Critical Engineering, or CM|MC • Atlanta, GA

1d

About The Position

The Power Studies Engineer performs advanced electrical system analysis to evaluate short-circuit capacity, protective device coordination, arc-flash hazards, load-flow performance, power quality, and overall power-system reliability. The role strengthens CM|MC’s electrical engineering capabilities through modeling, research, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The engineer works independently while coordinating with mechanical, electrical, and project management teams to deliver engineering solutions for mission-critical environments.

The position also develops and refines analytical workflows, keeps current with research and applicable industry standards, and presents findings through technical reports, one-line diagrams, study summaries, and client-facing presentations. The engineer communicates with contractors to obtain information needed for power studies and to provide consultation regarding device coordination. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 3 years of relevant electrical power systems or mission-critical engineering experience.
• Experience performing studies using SKM, ETAP, EasyPower, or comparable tools.
• Strong knowledge of power-system analysis, including short-circuit, arc-flash, load-flow, and protective device coordination.
• Ability to perform high-quality engineering work within deadlines.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively across engineering disciplines.
• Proficiency with technical documentation, electrical-system modeling workflows, and presenting engineering findings.
• Familiarity with electrical codes and standards including IEEE 3002.3, IEEE 1584, NFPA 70E, NFPA 70, and UL.
• Experience developing or interpreting protective-device settings, TCC curves, one-line diagrams, arc-flash labels, and electrical-system models.
• Demonstrated critical-thinking, planning, and time-management skills.
• Strong drive for results and continuous improvement.

Nice To Haves

• Proficiency with Neher McGrath-based calculation software such as Cymcap or AmpCalc.

Responsibilities

• Perform short-circuit, arc-flash, protective device coordination, load-flow, and power-quality studies using power-system analysis tools.
• Develop and refine analytical workflows by establishing best practices, automating processes, and streamlining modeling procedures.
• Maintain current knowledge of electrical power-system research, industry standards, and emerging trends in mission-critical electrical design.
• Prepare and present findings through technical reports, one-line diagrams, study summaries, and client-facing presentations.
• Collaborate across engineering disciplines while independently managing analysis tasks, modeling accuracy, and project deliverables.
• Communicate with contractors to obtain information needed for power studies and provide consultation regarding device coordination.
