TL;DR · Electrical Distribution Engineer

As an Electrical Distribution Engineer, you will be responsible for the commissioning, startup, and qualification of new power-distribution assets while ensuring the reliability and safety of existing infrastructure within a semiconductor manufacturing environment. You will perform functional testing and energization of medium and low-voltage switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, generators, and motor controllers. Your daily work involves verifying protection schemes against IEEE, IEC, and NEMA standards, conducting arc-flash and grounding checks, and integrating assets with SCADA/EMS platforms. You will manage documentation through a CMMS and perform data analysis using Microsoft Excel. The role requires expertise in industrial power distribution systems, fault diagnosis, and compliance with NFPA 70E and NEC codes to maintain robust, fault-tolerant electrical systems for large-scale industrial facilities.

What you'll do

  • Lead the pre-commissioning, functional testing, and energization of medium- and low-voltage switchgear, transformers, and motor-control equipment.
  • Verify that protection schemes including relays and circuit breakers operate according to design intent and industry standards.
  • Conduct safety verifications such as Lock-out/Tag-out, arc-flash analysis, and grounding checks before applying power.
  • Ensure all electrical work complies with NFPA 70E, NEC, and other relevant industrial codes and procedures.
  • Produce commissioning reports, as-built drawings, and close-out documentation for new and existing infrastructure.
  • Integrate newly commissioned assets with SCADA/EMS platforms to validate telemetry, alarms, and remote control functions.
  • Perform fault diagnosis and corrective actions on both newly installed and legacy electrical equipment.
  • Manage asset data and maintenance schedules using a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).

What we're looking for

  • A 4-year degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering from an ABET accredited institution is required.
  • Minimum of 4 years of electrical maintenance experience in an industrial setting is required.
  • Experience in a semiconductor fab environment is preferred.
  • A Professional Engineering (PE) license recognized by the State of Texas is a plus.
  • Working knowledge of IBC, IFC, and other codes for industrial power distribution system design and reliability is required.
  • Knowledge of OSHA General Industries and Construction vertical standards is required.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel including Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP, and simple script creation is required.
  • Authorization to access information subject to U.S. export control laws is required.
