About The Position

Join ENTRUST’s Power Generation group as a full-time Renewables Design Engineer. We are looking for a Renewables Based Design Engineer to help support our efforts in issuing 30/60/90/IFC drawing sets for construction as well as general arrangement and conceptual applications. This position offers remote and/or hybrid schedule options with minimal travel. ENTRUST Solutions Group, a company of Leidos, Power Generation, offers independent third-party engineering solutions to global power providers and plant operators. Power Generation's service offerings cover conventional and renewable power, as well as compliance, encompassing plant conceptual design through operation and maintenance. The ideal candidate would have experience in underground distribution design as well as experience with inverter-based resources (IBR). Comfortable in AutoCAD as well as Microsoft office applications.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from an accredited program with a focus on the power side and minimum of four (4+) years’ experience in the design and construction of power/generation/renewable energy projects.
• Understanding engineering standards and regulations (e.g., NEC, UL, ISO).
• Develop system-level schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with project managers, technicians, and other stakeholders to ensure successful implementation.
• Thorough technical understanding of distributed energy technologies, including some combination of solar and battery
• Project management experience with a demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet tight deadlines.
• Knowledge of the various DER power sources within the Microgrid and how best interface with the utility to provide the most efficient system.
• AutoCAD experience (for creating 30/60/90/IFC drawing sets for permit and installation)
• Excellent communication skills possessing the ability to communicate with technical and non-technical resources to make projects work.

Nice To Haves
