Electrical Engineer - Senior

Act as the subject matter expert for electrical engineering within a federal technical program office, providing guidance on the planning, design, integration, and evaluation of electrical and power systems. Analyze and define electrical system requirements to support field-deployed technologies such as surveillance towers, remote sensors, communications nodes, and mobile command units. Design and assess low-voltage and power distribution systems, including primary service, backup power, grounding, lighting, and protection systems. Assess backup power requirements, including generator sizing, solar integration, hybrid solutions, and energy storage considerations in austere environments. Review and provide technical input on engineering design packages, electrical system specifications, and cost estimates; ensure compliance with applicable codes and DHS standards. Support the assessment, adaptation, and field validation of emerging technologies requiring specialized electrical support, including autonomous surveillance systems, rapidly deployable sensors, and integrated energy solutions. Coordinate with civil, mechanical, and communications engineers, facility managers, and program stakeholders to ensure integrated system designs and successful project execution. Provide engineering insight for value engineering analyses, technical risk assessments, and cost-benefit studies. Travel to project sites to conduct field assessments, support design reviews, inspect installation work, and participate in Integrated Project Teams (IPTs). Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required; Master's degree is a plus. 8+ years of relevant experience in electrical engineering with emphasis on infrastructure systems, power distribution, or applied mission systems. Professional Engineer (PE) license or Engineer-in-Training (EIT) certification preferred. Familiarity with NEC, NFPA, IEEE, and other applicable electrical and construction codes and standards. Experience working with federal agencies (e.g., DHS, DoD) or on mission-driven technology programs is strongly preferred. Ability to interpret construction drawings, technical specifications, and performance requirements. Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, SharePoint). Strong technical writing, communication, and coordination skills. Ability to travel up to 50% to support site visits and program reviews.
