Job Description

Position Summary

We’re looking for a Staff Electrical Engineer to own the protection philosophy and coordination strategy that keep mission-critical power systems safe, selective, and online.

This is a hands-on, senior technical role, not a people management position. You’ll be the go-to authority on relay protection across large-scale projects: setting the approach, reviewing settings, shaping design standards, and staying involved from study through energization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and own protection philosophies and scheme selection for substations, transformers, generators, and MV/LV distribution systems
  • Lead and review power system studies:Short-circuit, load-flow, arc flash, and bus/equipment duty rating validation Time-current coordination for selective tripping across utility, generator, and maintenance modes
  • Develop and review protection schemes and relay settings:Overcurrent, differential, distance, and generator protection, including CT/VT selection Relay setting files and logic using vendor tools (SEL AcSELerator, GE EnerVista, or equivalent)
  • Develop and review AC/DC schematics, wiring, logic, and communications diagrams for protection and control systems, including IEC 61850 / GOOSE and SCADA integration
  • Lead protection design standards that accelerate speed-to-power, and drive Intermediate Voltage DC (IVDC) modeling and protection approaches
  • Serve as technical reviewer for protection work across multiple concurrent projects; approve studies and settings before release
  • Support and troubleshoot field testing, calibration, commissioning, and energization of protection hardware
  • Lead event and mis-operation analysis using relay event records and fault data; drive corrective action
  • Evaluate new relay platforms and protection technologies; mentor engineers across the team

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years in power system protection and utility or industrial power design
  • Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • Proficiency in power system analysis tools (ETAP, SKM PowerTools, EasyPower, or ASPEN)
  • Hands-on experience across multiple relay and OEM platforms (SEL, GE, Schneider Electric, Eaton, Siemens, ABB)
  • Deep knowledge of:Protective relaying principles and substation protection schemes Substation automation, IEC 61850, and SCADA communications NEC, NFPA 70E, and ANSI/IEEE protection standards
  • Proven ability to review others’ work and explain complex protection issues clearly to engineers and customers

Preferred Qualifications

  • PE license strongly preferred; company sponsorship available for licensure
  • Data center, utility substation, generation, or industrial plant protection experience
  • Computer-Aided Design program proficiency (REVIT, AutoCAD, Solidworks)
  • Relay testing and commissioning experience (Omicron, Doble); NETA or advanced protection, generator controls, or automation certifications a plus

Work Environment

Office engineering work combined with field commissioning and collaboration with operations personnel at customer, utility, and infrastructure sites. Expect approximately 25% travel. Field work may involve climbing, lifting, and active industrial or construction environments, plus occasional extended hours or weekend work to meet customer commitments.
