* Perform trade-off analyses on performance, cost, and reliability across all electrical subsystems.
* Lead power system design activities including schematics, wiring diagrams, and construction drawings.
* Conduct grounding, arc flash, harmonic, isolation, and EMI/EMC analysis.
* Support component selection, procurement, and integration with power electronics, motor, and control teams.
* Participate in factory acceptance testing, commissioning, and safety validation.
* Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to ensure successful system rollout.

Essential Skills and Experience
* B.S. in Electrical Engineering with a focus on power systems.
* 5+ years of experience in high-voltage equipment design, system integration, and maintenance.
* Strong knowledge of cable/conduit sizing, conductor selection, grounding, and protection devices.
