Electrical Engineer

Overview:

Specializing in high-tech facility design, SSOE provides design and engineering services for a wide variety of clients. Our diversity and breadth of highly skilled and knowledgeable professionals work across industries and integrate into a cross-disciplinary team that provides better understanding of total client systems than the traditional arrangement of specialized, siloed disciplines. A key differentiator of our team is our ability to conceptualize, plan, and detail all aspects of design, as well as coordination with various in-house disciplines within the organization to collaborate, optimize, and improve work and staff sharing by participating in multi-discipline strategy sessions. We use cutting-edge techniques and software to bring industry leading technology and creative solutions to our clients from day one.

We are seeking a skilled Electrical Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will engage in the designing, developing, and implementing of cutting-edge electrical building systems for state-of-the-art industrial and high-tech manufacturing facilities serving global leaders in technology. As an Electrical Engineer at SSOE, you will have a foundation in electrical engineering, focusing on low to medium voltage environments. The ideal candidate possesses experience with distribution panel loading, short circuit analysis, voltage drop calculations, conduit and conductor sizing, and cable tray fills. Join us in shaping innovative design-build projects with a relentless commitment to quality, efficiency, and collaborative excellence.

Responsibilities:

• Generate comprehensive technical project plans, specifications, drawings, and models aligned with both industry standards and client requirements.
• Designing the system with items such as switchgears, transformers, and distribution panels to control and distribute power to various sections of the facility.
• Perform short circuit calculations to ascertain fault currents and specify suitable protective devices.
• Perform precise voltage drop calculations to ensure electrical system stability and compliance with industry standards.
• Determine conduit and conductor sizing, meticulously accounting for current loads and environmental variables.
• Assess cable tray fills methodically to guarantee proper cable management, organization, and future scalability.
• Implementing redundancy and backup systems to ensure uninterrupted power supply and minimize downtime in case of power failures.
• Integrate UPS systems to provide short-term power backup in case of power fluctuations or outages, ensuring continuous operation of critical equipment.

• Conduct field verifications and site walks to identify, validate, resolve, and integrate solutions into design packages. Resolve design issues on-site during construction if necessary.

Qualifications:

• Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering, which qualifies for licensure in the state of practice, is required.
• Successful completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE/EIT) is highly desired.
• Demonstrated proficiency in AutoCAD and Revit is required. Experience with other tools such as ETAP, SKM PowerTools, and/or EasyPower is a plus.
• Knowledge of electrical codes and standards (e.g., National Electric Code, NFPA, etc.).
• Demonstrated experience performing field verifications and site walks to identify, validate, resolve, and integrate solutions into design packages. Ability to troubleshoot design problems on-site during construction.
• Salary Range: $68,000 - $98,000/year depending on location, education, experience, and any certifications that are directly related to the position.
• Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, 401K retirement savings plan (with company matching), opportunities for professional development and training, PTO, & paid holidays.

We look forward to having you join our team.
