Senior Electrical Engineer

Duration: 11 Months 
Location: Bellevue WA Hybrid 

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the regional lead design engineer, managing a portfolio of electrical infrastructure designs supporting the charging of electric delivery vehicles.

• Scope and develop system-level electrical designs for each site to meet cost targets, functional requirements, and engineering standards.

• Perform site due diligence to fully assess electrification needs, ensuring correct equipment selection, shipment, and installation.

• Translate evolving business requirements into scalable, hardened, and field-tested design solutions while navigating site-specific constraints.

• Drive cross-functional alignment on site scope with operations managers, construction project managers, product teams, and utility partners.

• Share design best practices and educate partner teams on infrastructure challenges such as subgrade conditions, fire suppression systems, non-standard lots, and other site constraints.

Design & Technical Execution

• Create Revit designs using standardized electrical equipment modules while driving established optimization metrics (e.g., equipment utilization, linear feet per module).

• Manage 20+ active design projects while maintaining visibility across 40+ projects in design, permitting, and construction phases across multiple geographies.

• Resolve complex electrical system challenges beyond standard electrification requirements.

• Coordinate with authorities having jurisdiction to ensure compliance with federal, state, and municipal codes and regulations.

• Review performance metrics and identify opportunities to improve cost efficiency and deployment outcomes.

• Partner with commissioning teams to test, validate, and verify installation, operation, and performance of electrical systems.

Communication & Field Support

• Develop clear technical narratives and present trade-off analyses related to infrastructure decisions, timelines, and cost considerations.

• Travel to project sites as needed to conduct site reviews and collaborate with field engineers.

• Provide engineering evaluations, electrical system audits, and startup support when required.

• Collaborate in a team-oriented environment while contributing creative, practical solutions to complex challenges.
