Senior Power Electrical Engineer

About The Position

The Senior Power Electrical Engineer brings our mission to life at the electron level — and then some. You'll design, assemble, install, and maintain the electrical systems our infrastructure depends on: energy storage, energy management, LV power distribution, grid-tied inverters, motor drives, protective relays, automatic transfer switches, and AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion at 1000V and below. But this role goes beyond execution. You'll own subsystems from spec to validation, lead complex design end-to-end, mentor junior engineers, and serve as a key technical voice in design reviews. Every electron in our products flows through your work, and your decisions shape how the team builds from here. You'll do it on a small team, with a hybrid schedule and an async culture built for focused, heads-down work.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field. Or equivalent hands-on experience that tells the same story.
5–8+ years designing, assembling, and troubleshooting electrical panels.
Fluency in AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN. You work in the tools, not around them.
Deep comfort with electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and circuit design. You can read and produce them without a second thought.
Hands-on experience with electrical tools and equipment; you're as comfortable on the bench as you are at the desk.
Sharp attention to detail and strong problem-solving instincts. You catch what others miss and know what to do about it.
Clear communicator who works well across a small, fast-moving team.
Applicants must already have the legal authorization to work in the US without requiring any employer sponsorship.

Nice To Haves

Background in renewable energy equipment and installations; you've seen how these systems live in the real world.
Comfortable with C++, Python, Arduino, and MODBUS; you can hold your own where software meets hardware.
Hands-on familiarity with PLCs, HMIs, and industrial automation; you understand the full stack from control logic to physical output.

Responsibilities

Lead the design of complex AC-DC and DC-DC power distribution systems and high-voltage control architectures, setting technical standards and reviewing work across the team for compliance with NEC, UL, and IEEE requirements.
Own subsystem design from specification through validation, including grid-tied inverters, motor drive systems, and energy storage integration, ensuring performance, stability, and reliability at scale.
Independently conduct and lead advanced power studies, including short circuit analysis, load flow modeling, arc flash hazard assessments, and protection coordination for DERs, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings.
Develop and own engineering deliverables (schematics, SLDs, cabinet layouts, O&M manuals, FAT/SAT protocols) with accountability for quality, completeness, and cross-functional review sign-off.
Serve as the technical lead in design reviews, flagging systemic risks, pushing back on designs that won’t scale, and mentoring engineers through the review process.
Interpret and apply electrical codes (NEC/NFPA 70, UL, IEEE) with expert-level judgment; identify code ambiguities, drive resolution, and help define internal design standards.
Define R&D strategy for early-stage product development; scope prototyping efforts, allocate lab resources, and ensure findings translate into scalable production-ready designs.
Oversee prototype assembly and UL 508A panel builds, providing technical guidance to junior engineers and technicians on assembly quality and safety standards.
Lead the transition from development to production — defining the standards for wiring diagrams, SOPs, and test procedures that the broader team will follow.
Architect and own integrations between power hardware and firmware/controls — going beyond querying memory registers to defining communication protocols, control logic requirements, and integration test strategies with firmware and controls engineers.
Mentor junior engineers on software development practices for embedded/power applications; establish and document best practices for the team.
Act as a cross-functional technical liaison between electrical engineering, firmware, systems, and manufacturing teams, translating technical tradeoffs into clear decisions for stakeholders.
Own and maintain engineering documentation standards — including panel design records, design change processes, and test protocols — ensuring the team’s work is auditable, transferable, and production-ready.
Author and own installation and service manuals for products; establish the documentation standard for the engineering team.
Interpret, apply, and help enforce compliance with electrical codes, standards, and safety regulations; proactively identify gaps and drive resolution across engineering and manufacturing.
Other duties as assigned.
