Electrical Engineer - Plant Engineering

Electric Hydrogen’s mission is to make molecules to decarbonize our world! Our outstanding people are our most important asset and will allow us to deliver hydrogen from renewable electrolysis for heavy industry, at prices below fossil fuels.

You will use your interdisciplinary skills to create compelling plant electrical designs, manage contractors, and ensure smooth plant integration. You will use your creativity and experience to translate product requirements into electrical engineering designs that consider plant hardware, deployment costs, controls equipment, compliance, and electrical safety. We are looking for a team player with unique viewpoints excited to build a new generation of electrolysis equipment.

You will work at our office in San Jose, CA with an allowable hybrid work schedule. Remote positions may be considered depending on candidate's qualifications. You will report to Director, Product Engineering

Primary Responsibilities

• Collaborate with plant engineering, instrumentation & controls engineering, power systems engineering, and suppliers to develop AC power distribution systems for plant hardware
• Coordinate and integrate 3D models between systems. Export BOMs/MTO for procurement and fabrication purposes.
• Create plant electrical drawings (e.g. Single Line Diagrams, Installation Details)
• Perform electrical equipment sizing calculations sizing following code and first principles
• Evaluate cost trade-offs. E.g. distributed and centralized plant electrical designs
• Interpret P&IDs, Vendor Wiring Diagrams, and other drawings typical of the process industry
• Develop specifications for plant backup power systems, including generators and control voltage uninterruptible power supply hardware
• Design for the effects of EMI and EMI compliance for plant electrical systems
• Design & review plant grounding and bonding systems
• Execute fundamental electrical engineering studies (e.g. Load Flow, Grounding)
• 20% travel to contractor, vendor, and customer sites, mostly domestic

Qualifications

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years of experience in industrial plant electrical distribution design (Skidded/Modular)
• 2+ years' experience commissioning, operating, or maintaining plant electrical hardware in an onsite setting
• NFPA 70 Chapter 5 Article 500 and ATEX Directive/IECEx Protection Methods for Electrical Systems in Hazardous Areas
• Specialist in large induction electric motor controls and different industrial starter/control schemes (pumps, fans)
• Excellent 2D and 3D CAD skills (AutoCAD Electrical)
• Thermal management of electrical power distribution systems (HVAC, Solar heat gain, etc)
• Proficiency in ETAP or SKM electrical design & simulation software
• Knowledge of NFPA 70/NEC, IEEE and IEC Codes and Standards
• Relay Coordination Studies of Complex Plant Electrical Systems
• Product Certification Experience preferred (e.g. UL Listing, Field Certification)
• P.E. Preferred
