Electrical Engineer

• Design of CGIT systems for and electrical design parameters. Tasks include design, drafting follow and development of testing parameters.
• Perform electrical stress analysis on components and modify shapes to reduce and minimize electrical stresses.
• Perform original design work and maintain compliance with industry standards for the CGIT product line or special products.
• Maintain complete electrical specifications for the CGIT product line including IEC, ANSI, NEMA, and CENELEC standards.
• Work closely with vendors and CGIT Systems Purchasing to develop and qualify new vendors for CGIT materials.
• Originate and implement cost improvements in the CGIT product line.
• Instruct other engineers in methods of design to ensure electrical integrity of all CGIT products for commercial orders.
• Write reports as required for internal and external documentation of activities.
• Specific Technical responsibilities may include:
• Detailed electrical design to support specific customer requirements.
• Dielectric design and analysis of CGIT components and systems using finite element computer models and hand calculations.
• Dielectric design using specific properties and performance parameters for SF6 and non-SF6 dielectric systems.
• Provide expert support for the electrical parameters used for CGIT design and have a working knowledge and basic skills in the structural and mechanical aspects of the product.

• Equipment Used: General office equipment (telephone, computer, fax, copier, etc.)
• Knowledge/Skills: Familiarity with IEC, ANSI, and NEMA standards relating to SF6 and non-SF6 products and pressure vessels. Experience with power systems engineering and testing techniques including dielectric, continuous current and short circuit current. Excellent written and verbal communications skills are required.
• Education/Experience: Minimum BSEE or BS Physics with 3 years' experience in the design and development of transmission voltage electrical equipment. Experience using Electro, Coulomb, COMSOL or similar software to perform electrical stress analysis on electrical components including insulators. Modify component geometry to reduce and minimize electrical stress. Functional ability using AutoCAD or Inventor
• Language Skills: Able to read, analyze, and interpret scientific and technical journals and reports. Able to effectively respond to inquiries or complaints from both internal and external customers. Able to effectively present information to management or other groups.
• Mathematical Skills: Able to apply advanced mathematical concepts such as exponents, logarithms, quadratic equations, and permutations. Able to apply mathematical operations to such tasks as frequency distribution, determination of test reliability and validity, analysis of variance, correlation techniques, sampling theory, and factor analysis.
• Reasoning Ability: Able to define problems, collect data, establish facts, and draw valid conclusions. Able to interpret an extensive variety of technical instructions in mathematical or diagram form and deal with several abstract and concrete variables.
• Attendance Requirement: Regular attendance required during scheduled office hours. Occasional overtime or short-notice call-in work as required.
• Travel Requirement: Up to 25% travel is required.
• Physical Demands: Office position, primarily sedentary. Spends app. 2/3 of time seated, talking/hearing, reading, and using hands/fingers to write, type, etc. Generally, requires clear vision at 20 inches or less for reading/writing.
• Work Environment: Over 3/4 of time is spent in a temperature-controlled office with moderate noise level. Less than 1/4 of time may be spent in outdoor weather conditions or at risk of electrical shock (while performing product or job site inspections).
