Job Description

Role

As an Electrical Designer you will develop electrical designs and technical documentation that support tool installation packages, power distribution, subfab rack and lateral design, and cleanroom/facility modifications for semiconductor manufacturing projects. You will perform low- to medium-voltage electrical design tasks, ensure compliance with applicable electrical codes, and collaborate with engineers, project managers, and multidisciplinary teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Produce detailed electrical design drawings and technical documentation for process equipment installations, tool hookups, and facility upgrades.
• Determine conduit, conductor, and wire sizing based on current loads and environmental conditions.
• Assess and specify cable tray fills to ensure proper cable management and future scalability.
• Perform short circuit and voltage drop calculations to size protective devices and verify system stability.
• Ensure designs comply with local, state, and national electrical codes and company standards.
• Apply established electrical design techniques (load flow analysis, fault current calculations) and adapt concepts as needed.
• Collaborate with Designers, Senior Engineers, Project Managers, and multidisciplinary teams (mechanical, structural, process/chemical, architectural) to resolve complex issues.

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED required; Associate degree in engineering or architectural fields preferred.
• Demonstrated proficiency in AutoCAD required; experience with Revit, ETAP, SKM PowerTools, and/or EasyPower is a plus.
• Ability to produce power distribution schematics, panel schedules, lighting and grounding plans, and other system diagrams.
• Proficient in interpreting electrical one-line diagrams and creating construction documents.
• Knowledge of electrical codes and standards (e.g., National Electric Code, NFPA).
• Experience with distribution panel loading, short circuit analysis, voltage drop calculations, conduit and conductor sizing, and cable tray fills.

AI & Tools

• The company provides access and training to AI Large Language Models and vibe-coding platforms, and securely integrates AI-enabled tools into workflows to increase productivity and streamline design tasks.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary range: $50,000 - $100,000 per year (depends on location, education, experience, and certifications).
• Benefits include comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance; life insurance; 401(k) with company matching; professional development and training (including licensure and certification support); generous PTO and paid holidays.

Work Arrangement

• Position listed as hybrid (#LI-Hybrid); specific onsite/remote expectations depend on project and location.
