Overview
Senior Electrical Protection Engineer
San Francisco Bay Area, CA
We are looking for a highly skilled High Voltage Protection Engineer with a solid foundation in protection design, power systems, and hands-on hardware experience. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, analyzing, and testing electrical protection systems, primarily for high-voltage applications. This role is crucial for ensuring the reliability, safety, and efficiency of electrical systems in complex, high-power environments.
Responsibilities : Design and optimize protection systems for high-voltage networks, including battery storage, power converters, and inverters. Perform system studies, including short circuit analysis, protection coordination, and arc flash hazard analysis. Ensure compliance with IEEE-1584 and NFPA-70E. Test high-voltage equipment following NETA guidelines and ensure compliance with safety standards. Conduct safety tests on energy storage systems and battery packs. Lead failure analysis for power converters and grid-tied inverters. Ensure components pass safety testing. Work with engineering teams to refine protection system specs, device coordination, and failure analysis for improved system safety. Maintain documentation on system designs, test results, and compliance. Provide project progress updates.
Qualifications : A minimum of 5 years in power system protection, with hands-on experience in hardware and protection design. Proficient in system protection design and coordination for high-voltage systems. Strong understanding of electrical systems and protection devices. Hands-on experience with electrical testing and troubleshooting in high-voltage environments. Familiarity with power system simulation software (e.g., ETAP, MATLAB, LabVIEW). Knowledge of industry standards and codes, including IEEE, NFPA, and NETA. Experience with power electronics, inverters, and electrical panel design. Proficiency with simulation tools such as MATLAB, LabVIEW, and ETAP is highly preferred. A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a related field.
