Senior Electrical Design Engineer - Power Systems

Our client is seeking a highly skilled and innovative Senior Electrical Design Engineer with a specialization in Power Systems to join their engineering team in **Boston, Massachusetts**. This hybrid role offers a unique blend of in-office collaboration and remote flexibility, allowing you to contribute to cutting-edge projects while maintaining a balanced work-life schedule. You will be responsible for the design, development, and testing of complex electrical power systems for a variety of applications, including renewable energy integration, grid modernization, and industrial automation. Your expertise will be crucial in ensuring the reliability, efficiency, and safety of our power infrastructure. The ideal candidate will possess a strong theoretical foundation in electrical engineering principles, coupled with hands-on experience in designing high-voltage equipment, protection schemes, and control systems. Proficiency in simulation software such as ETAP, PSS/E, or PSCAD is highly desirable. You will lead design efforts, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineers, software developers, and project managers, to bring innovative solutions to fruition. Responsibilities include creating detailed schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, and technical specifications. You will also conduct power studies, including load flow, short circuit, and transient stability analysis. A deep understanding of relevant industry standards and codes (e.g., IEEE, NEC) is essential. This role requires excellent problem-solving skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. The successful candidate will be a proactive communicator, capable of presenting technical information clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences. This is an exceptional opportunity to work on challenging projects that are shaping the future of energy infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

Design and develop electrical power systems, including substations, distribution networks, and generation interfaces. Perform power system studies, including load flow, fault analysis, stability studies, and arc flash analysis. Create detailed electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, and Bills of Materials (BOMs). Select and specify electrical equipment such as transformers, switchgear, circuit breakers, and protective relays. Develop control and protection schemes for power systems. Ensure designs comply with all relevant industry standards, codes, and regulations. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate electrical systems into overall project design. Provide technical support during the manufacturing, installation, and commissioning phases. Mentor and guide junior electrical engineers. Troubleshoot and resolve complex electrical engineering issues.
