Senior Electrical Engineer

In this role, you will conduct field investigations and client interviews to determine work scope and cost estimates for a project's electrical engineering aspects. You will lead design, development, modification, and evaluation of electrical components and processes. Your recommendations will resolve technical issues and ensure uniquely complex requirements of a project's electrical engineering aspects are met. This position is for a Senior Electrical Engineer, located in Ogden, UT, who will prepare designs for electrical systems associated with DOD and USAF projects. The successful candidate must have strong organizational and teamwork skills, proven problem-solving abilities, can-do attitude, and the desire to innovate designs. This role will specifically support the USAF Sentinel program Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase.

Major Responsibilities:

• Evaluates, selects, and applies standard electrical engineering methods, techniques, procedures, and criteria, using independent judgment in making adaptations and modifications
• Participates in the design, development and modification of components and processes used in the generation, manipulation, transmission, and storage of electricity utilizing relevant Engineering Department Procedures (EDPs), design standards and guides.
• Coordinates work and collaborates with other engineering disciplines
• Coordinates electrical engineering efforts in assigned areas with specialty groups, engineering disciplines, the client, vendor, contractors, construction and other functional groups
• Prepares conceptual studies, designs, reports or proposals
• Provides technical assistance to other electrical personnel and will interact with project functions, the customer, and regulatory agency personnel in the resolution of complex regulatory issues and industry codes and standards
• Provides assistance to project and construction management in identifying and complying with project electrical requirements and in addressing issues as they arise during project execution

This role will support design development of Electrical systems and equipment design for the Sentinel program project by preparing engineering studies, drawings, calculations, specifications, and evaluations, in accordance with applicable procedures, codes, standards, and contract requirements. Work with and mentor junior electrical engineers as well as work with other technical disciplines in a team environment. Develop new design drawings using Autocad such as single lines, panel schedules, schematics, cable block diagrams, grounding, lightning protection, cathodic protection, and more. Perform power system analysis modeling and calculations utilizing ETAP. Calculations will include Load Flow, Short Circuit, Motor starting, Relay Coordination, Arc Flash. Other facility calculations include, lighting design using AGI 32, facility ground grid sizing utilizing ETAP, and underground cable thermal de-rating analysis utilizing ETAP Perform equipment sizing calculations such as medium voltage utility and low voltage transformers, panel boards, surge protective devices, uninterruptable power supplies and battery sizing calculations Perform circuit breaker and cable sizing calculations per NFPA 70 to include various de-rating factors. Develop equipment and material specifications utilizing the software SpecsIntact Develop procurement documentation (written scopes of work) as well as perform supplier proposal evaluations. Review vendor submittals and integrate information into the design Coordinate systems requirement development and verifications with Systems engineering and the client
