Job Description
Recruiting a PE/EE for a key role in ensuring high-voltage switchgear meet
customer requirements and industry standards. This position will review customer
specifications for compliance, identify and document exceptions or deviations, and propose
product configurations to achieve compliance while optimizing performance. This role also requires strong knowledge of electrical transmission and distribution systems, with a focus on high-voltage applications.
Must be authorized to work in the US. No sponsorship.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
▪ Review and analyze customer technical specifications, RFQs, and bid documents to
assess compliance.
▪ Identify non-compliances, take clear exceptions, and provide technical clarifications
or alternative solutions.
▪ Collaborate with customers, sales, and internal teams to recommend optimal
product configurations, options, and modifications to meet project requirements.
▪ Review, approve, and/or mark-up elementary schematics, wiring diagrams, and
control drawings for accuracy and compliance.
▪ Support technical discussions during the sales and bidding process, including
clarification meetings with utilities and end-users.
▪ Interface regularly with sales, engineering, testing, and production teams to resolve
technical issues and ensure smooth project execution.
▪ Contribute to the development of new products by participating in design
reviews, generating detailed test plans, and supporting type/design verification
testing — including preparation for and coordination with third-party independent
laboratories such as CESI/KEMA Labs for certification and compliance validation.
▪ Contribute to continuous improvement of compliance processes, configuration tools,
documentation standards, and testing methodologies.
▪ Stay current with evolving IEEE standards, utility specifications, industry trends in
high-voltage switchgear, and advancements in third-party testing requirements.
Position Requirements (knowledge, skills and abilities required to perform
satisfactorily in the position):
▪ 5+ years of professional experience as an electrical engineer in the power systems
or switchgear industry.
▪ Solid understanding of electrical transmission and distribution systems, including
substation equipment and high-voltage applications.
▪ Experience interpreting technical specifications, identifying compliance issues, and
preparing exception lists or deviation requests.
▪ Proficiency in reading and reviewing electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and
control drawings.
▪ Excellent technical writing, communication, and interpersonal skills for interfacing
with customers and cross-functional teams.
▪ Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a collaborative environment.
Highly Preferred:
▪ Previous experience in type testing, design verification testing, factory acceptance
testing, or coordination with third-party labs (e.g., CESI/KEMA Labs) for high-voltage
switchgear certification.
▪ Utility or end-user experience (e.g., working for or with electric utilities on substation
projects).
▪ Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical.
