The Senior Electrical Engineer joins the Electrical Engineering team to provide technical ownership for critical power systems and electrical infrastructure. This role involves managing high/medium-voltage systems, substations, transformers, switchgear, UPS, and emergency power systems. The engineer will analyze system performance to identify vulnerabilities, provide hands-on troubleshooting support to technicians during commissioning and maintenance, and lead structured investigations like FMEA and Root Cause Analysis. Key responsibilities include optimizing maintenance strategies to improve MTBF and coordinating between facility infrastructure and customer-owned equipment. Required expertise includes industrial power distribution, protective relays, and power quality analysis. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in Reliability-Centered Maintenance, NFPA 70E safety standards, and OSHA regulations while utilizing skills in equipment refurbishment and technical leadership within high-availability manufacturing environments.
