Switchgear Engineer I

• Assist in designing low-voltage switchgear, switchboards, and generator/inverter paralleling equipment for microgrid applications.
• Develop or update single-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, equipment layouts, and control schematics under supervision.
• Support configuration of Bills of Material (BOMs), component selections, and equipment specifications including breakers, relays, PLC modules, metering, and communication hardware.
• Learn and apply fundamentals of generator and inverter paralleling—synchronization, load sharing, soft loading, and protective relaying.
• Support development of control logic, I/O lists, and communication architecture for microgrid operations such as islanding, resynchronization, load shedding, and black-start.
• Collaborate with microgrid controls engineers to ensure switchgear designs align with system sequences of operation and dispatch strategies.
• Assist in coordinating technical requirements with generator, inverter, and BESS vendors to ensure compatibility and proper integration.

• Participate in project kickoff meetings, internal design reviews, and vendor coordination calls.
• Support project managers by processing RFIs and assisting with technical questions under guidance of senior engineers.
• Attend site walks (as needed) to understand field conditions, confirm equipment placements, and support BOM accuracy.

• Maintain drawing revisions, documentation standards, and organized engineering files.
• Review vendor drawings to ensure consistency with project requirements and design intent.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or related field. 
• Understanding of electrical power fundamentals (three-phase systems, breakers, relays, transformers, etc.).
• Basic proficiency with AutoCAD or similar drafting tools. 
• Strong interest in low-voltage switchgear design, microgrids, and distributed energy.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and engineering drawings. 

• Internship or co-op experience in power systems, construction, or electrical design.
• Exposure to generator paralleling, DERs, inverters, or microgrid concepts.
• Familiarity with NEC, UL 891/1558, IEEE 1547, or related standards.
• Experience with PLCs, SCADA systems, or industrial communication protocols. 

• Analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Strong communication skills and willingness to collaborate across disciplines.
• Detail-oriented with strong documentation habits.
• Eagerness to learn switchgear design, controls integration, and microgrid engineering.
• Organized, self-motivated, and capable of handling multiple tasks.
