This Senior Electrical Engineer role leads factory electrical infrastructure development and buildout execution. You will own planning and execution of factory electrical infrastructure that translates production requirements into operational manufacturing space. Key responsibilities include: **Electrical Supply & Capacity Planning:** Lead factory electrical supply strategy by evaluating power demand, utility service capacity, and infrastructure requirements. Serve as primary owner-side engineering interface with utility providers to coordinate service upgrades, line extensions, and energization schedules. Partner with A&E firms to evaluate phased power delivery strategies and alternative supply solutions. **Factory Electrical Distribution:** Lead planning and technical execution of medium- and low-voltage systems, transformers, switchgear, switchboards, panelboards, and feeders. Define infrastructure requirements, evaluate distribution capacity, and review A&E designs for alignment with factory requirements, codes, constructability, and scalability. **Electrical Engineering & Equipment Integration:** Lead owner-side electrical engineering coordination from concept through construction and commissioning. Establish infrastructure requirements and review A&E deliverables including load calculations, single-line diagrams, power distribution plans, grounding requirements, and electrical system studies. **Data & IT Infrastructure:** Lead planning and cross-functional coordination of factory data and IT infrastructure supporting manufacturing operations and equipment deployment. **Factory Controls & Automation:** Lead planning and technical coordination of facility controls and automation infrastructure supporting manufacturing operations. **Electrical Construction & Installation:** Lead technical coordination for electrical infrastructure construction and equipment installation. Review contractor submittals, vendor shop drawings, and technical RFIs. Partner with construction coordinators, facilities teams, contractors, and vendors to resolve field constraints and drive testing and commissioning. **Factory & Work Center Buildout Planning:** Lead development of factory and workcenter buildout strategies by defining equipment integration strategies, infrastructure requirements, and deployment solutions. Lead technical coordination across engineering, procurement, operations, and facilities. **Project Schedule Ownership:** Drive technical execution strategy and critical path coordination for factory development initiatives. Identify infrastructure dependencies, integration risks, and manufacturing readiness gaps. Lead technical evaluations of capital infrastructure alternatives. **Cross-Functional Engineering:** Lead cross-functional technical coordination across engineering, operations, facilities, supply chain, contractors, and external partners. Develop factory configuration records, infrastructure standards, and deployment documentation. **Requirements:** - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related technical discipline - 7+ years of electrical engineering experience supporting manufacturing facilities, industrial infrastructure, electrical power distribution, or capital project execution - Strong technical understanding of medium- and low-voltage electrical distribution systems, including transformers, switchgear, switchboards, panelboards, feeders, and industrial equipment power requirements - Experience developing requirements for and reviewing electrical engineering deliverables, including single-line diagrams, load calculations, power distribution plans, equipment specifications, and electrical system studies - Experience supporting electrical infrastructure planning, construction coordination, equipment installation, commissioning, or utility infrastructure upgrades - Working knowledge of applicable electrical codes and safety requirements, including NEC, NFPA 70E, and relevant electrical engineering standards - Demonstrated ability to independently evaluate complex engineering problems, develop technical solutions, and drive implementation across multiple projects and stakeholders - Experience coordinating technical workstreams across engineering disciplines, A&E partners, contractors, utilities, and equipment vendors - Strong organizational and communication skills with ability to manage multiple parallel engineering activities, technical decisions, and project priorities - Ability to lawfully access information and technology subject to US export controls - May occasionally require early mornings, evenings, or weekend support during critical installation, commissioning, or construction milestones
