Electrical Engineer – Mission-Critical Power Systems

Are you a precision-driven engineer with a passion for protecting the backbone of vital infrastructure? Do you thrive in high-stakes environments where your technical expertise directly supports national security, institutional resilience, and 24/7 operational continuity?

The Multi-Domain Solutions (MDS) division is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer who is ready to make a meaningful impact. In this role, you’ll work alongside senior engineers to design, analyze, and implement robust electrical power systems for mission-critical facilities across government, commercial, and institutional sectors. From power generation to distribution, your contributions will help ensure uninterrupted operations where failure is not an option.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design and layout medium- and low-voltage electrical distribution systems for complex facilities
• Perform system studies—load flow, short circuit, arc flash, and grounding—using industry-standard tools (ETAP, SKM Power Tools, CYME, PSCAD)
• Develop single-line diagrams, protection/control schematics, and technical specifications for electrical equipment
• Participate in field inspections, equipment testing, and commissioning to validate system performance and design compliance
• Assess and select key components: transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, and protective relays
• Support SCADA integration, substation design, and renewable energy projects
• Ensure compliance with NEC, IEEE, NESC, and other relevant codes and standards
• Create and revise design drawings using AutoCAD or Revit MEP
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to meet project milestones and deliverables

Basic Qualifications

• Active TS/SCI w/ Poly Clearance (required)
• Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering (or related field) with 8–12 years of experience, or Master’s with 6–10 years
• Solid understanding of electrical engineering principles, standards, and system design
• Experience in analog/digital circuit design, testing, and troubleshooting
• Familiarity with hardware and electronic design tools and workflows
• Ability to work independently on moderately complex tasks and contribute to larger initiatives
• Strong communication skills for technical collaboration across teams
• Knowledge of electrical systems in applications such as radar, communications, and computing
• Strong problem-solving skills and analytical thinking
• Proven ability to resolve complex technical challenges

Preferred Qualifications

• Analog design
• Digital signal processing (DSP)
• Electrical construction and installation
• Electronic and hardware design
• Radio frequency (RF) systems
• Power generation, transmission, and distribution
• Familiarity with VHDL for digital system simulation
• Proficiency in Python for automation, data analysis, or embedded applications
• Experience guiding product development from concept through implementation
• Project coordination or management experience
