Lead Electrical Engineer – Clean Energy Systems

Overview:

A pioneering organization in the clean technology sector is seeking a Lead Electrical Engineer to support the development, testing, and validation of electrical instrumentation and control systems for chemical process equipment and facilities. This role contributes to advancing carbon-free energy technologies targeting hard-to-decarbonize industries such as maritime transport and stationary power .

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define electrical system requirements and develop specifications aligned with performance, safety, and regulatory standards.
• Conduct detailed electrical design and calculations for power distribution, cable/conduit/tray layouts, and grounding systems using industry-standard tools.
• Develop wiring diagrams for sensors (e.g., pressure transducers, RTDs, flow meters, level switches) and actuators (e.g., compressors, VFDs, valves, mass flow controllers).
• Produce instrumentation documentation including indexes, datasheets, cable schedules, panel layouts, loop drawings, and location plans.
• Select, configure, and test low- and high-voltage instrumentation components.
• Design and assemble electrical cabinets, junction boxes, and harnesses; support factory and site acceptance testing.
• Commission and maintain electrical and control systems for testing environments.
• Develop and validate interface circuits between instruments and PLC I/O modules.
• Execute test plans to ensure compliance with specifications and standards.
• Interface with suppliers and manufacturers for component sourcing and issue resolution.
• Provide operational support by troubleshooting electrical systems and coordinating with vendors and engineering teams.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering or a related discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in electrical/electronic, instrumentation, and control systems engineering.
• Hands-on experience with industrial equipment such as motors, compressors, pumps, heaters, valves, flow controllers, and gas analyzers.
• Proficiency in schematic design software (e.g., SOLIDWORKS Electrical, Lucidchart).
• Experience with PLC I/O mapping, single-line diagrams, and enclosure/harness design.
• Background in electrical systems design and maintenance for lab or production facilities.
• Strong communication skills and ability to thrive in dynamic environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience designing systems in accordance with NEC, IEC, ANSI standards.
• 10+ years of experience in process instrumentation and control within petrochemical or pharmaceutical sectors.
• Familiarity with industrial PLCs, SCADA systems, and field bus protocols (e.g., CANBUS, PROFINET, EtherCAT).
• Proven ability to work independently and produce high-quality engineering documentation.
• Demonstrated initiative and technical problem-solving skills.
