Position Overview: (**Sole U.S. Citizenship Required**)

This role is perfect for an engineer who has mastered the fundamentals of power electronics and control systems and has demonstrated ownership over project milestones and integrated hardware deployment. You will bridge the gap between high-level system architecture and hands-on implementation, working with 480 VAC distribution to precision servo control in radiation-sensitive environments

Key Responsibilities:

System Deployment: Support the end-to-end deployment of energy generation, transfer, and storage systems, ensuring all hardware meets internal and external integration requirements
Control Loop Tuning: Implement PID control systems for voltage, current, and thermal management
Motion Control: Integrated stepper and servo controllers for automated system components
Power Distribution: Design and document 480 VAC electrical layouts, focusing on safety, circuit protection, and industrial compliance
Rad-Hard Implementation: Work with senior staff to select and integrate radiation-hardened electronics, ensuring system longevity in high-energy environments
Data & Instrumentation: Set up and manage Data Acquisition (DAQ) hardware to monitor system performance and provide clear data for analysis
Project Coordination: Track project milestones, update timelines, and assist in identifying and mitigating technical risks throughout the project lifecycle
CAD Documentation: Create and maintain high-quality electrical and mechanical drawings using CAD software

Desired Qualifications:

Minimum of B.S. in related Engineering field plus 3-5 years professional experience in power systems, robotics, or industrial automation
Experience managing small-to-medium project tasks and a proactive approach to risk management
Practical experience with 480 VAC power distribution and industrial electrical standards
Solid understanding of PID theory and experience implementing controllers in a real-world setting
Proficiency in CAD/CAM/FEA (e.g., 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
