We are seeking a high-level Senior Electrical Systems Engineer to serve as the primary subject matter expert for the electrical power infrastructure of our new, large-scale manufacturing complex. This role owns the safety, reliability, and capacity of sophisticated power systems—including high-voltage distribution (up to 12.4kV), Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), and emergency generation.
Based initially at our Tempe headquarters with a transition to the Peoria, AZ flagship factory, you will bridge the gap between initial infrastructure design and 24/7 operational maintenance.
Power System Stewardship
Distribution & Reliability: Manage the Electrical Load Database to ensure distribution sources maintain the necessary redundancy and capacity for future factory expansion.
Maintenance & Operations: Develop and own the documentation for PM job plans, operating procedures, and troubleshooting specifications for transformers, generators, and battery systems.
Safety & Risk Mitigation: Conduct and review Arc Flash Analysis, electrical coordination studies, and ground fault assessments to mitigate site risk.
Real-Time Monitoring: Oversee power consumption and equipment health in real-time via the central control room to ensure system stability.
Technical Leadership & Hook-Up
Design & Analysis: Perform complex load calculations and select appropriate feeders to support high-precision production equipment.
Tool Hook-Up: Lead the electrical matrix review for production equipment, managing everything from bidding documents and on-site supervision to final equipment handover.
Training & Guidance: Provide advanced troubleshooting support and safety training for field electricians, particularly regarding high-voltage switching and safe work practices.
Strategic Coordination
Utility Liaison: Coordinate directly with electrical utility providers on load management, grid stability, and planned downtime.
Regulatory Alignment: Ensure all repairs, modifications, and installations meet OEM standards, AHJ codes, and environmental requirements.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead deep-dive investigations into any electrical system failures to implement permanent corrective actions.
Essential Qualifications:
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
Professional Tenure: Minimum of 3 years of post-education experience as an Electrical Engineer, with at least 3 years focused specifically on infrastructure maintenance.
Technical Mastery: Extensive knowledge of high-voltage industrial power systems, infrastructure design, and electrical construction laws/codes.
Critical Thinking: Proven ability to reach logical conclusions through data collation, statistical analysis, and testing results.
Physical Capability: Ability to safely climb ladders, work at elevations (scaffolding/lifts), and navigate confined spaces.
Preferred Assets:
Industry Background: Previous experience in a semiconductor, electric utility, or advanced manufacturing environment.
Multi-Disciplinary Knowledge: Familiarity with adjacent systems such as mechanical, controls, or chemical distribution.
Facility Optimization: Experience managing cleanroom utility equipment and energy-saving initiatives.
