Electrical Engineer

Job Title: Electrical Engineer

Location: Evanston, WY (Full-Time, On-Site)

Reports To: Senior Electrical Engineer

About the Company:

Our client specializes in research and development of advanced power generation systems. They are under contract with a U.S. government agency to develop and test a prototype sub-100kWe electrical generation system built on next-generation energy technology.

Position Overview:

This role is ideal for an engineer who has mastered the fundamentals of power electronics and control systems, with a track record of owning project milestones and integrated hardware deployment. You'll bridge the gap between high-level system architecture and hands-on implementation, working across 480 VAC distribution to precision servo control in sensitive operating environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support end-to-end deployment of energy generation, transfer, and storage systems, ensuring hardware meets internal and external integration requirements
• Implement PID control systems for voltage, current, and thermal management
• Integrate stepper and servo controllers for automated system components
• Design and document 480 VAC electrical layouts, focusing on safety, circuit protection, and industrial compliance
• Work with senior staff to select and integrate ruggedized electronics for system longevity in demanding environments
• Set up and manage Data Acquisition (DAQ) hardware to monitor system performance and provide clear data for analysis
• Track project milestones, update timelines, and help identify and mitigate technical risks throughout the project lifecycle
• Create and maintain high-quality electrical and mechanical drawings using CAD software

Desired Qualifications:

• B.S. in a related Engineering field plus 3–5 years of professional experience in power systems, robotics, or industrial automation
• Experience managing small-to-medium project tasks with a proactive approach to risk management
• Practical experience with 480 VAC power distribution and industrial electrical standards
• Solid understanding of PID theory and hands-on controller implementation
• Proficiency in CAD/CAM/FEA (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, or Abaqus)

Compensation and Benefits:

• Salary based on education and experience
• PTO, Sick Leave, Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, Paid federal holidays + 1 floating holiday
