Electrical Engineer - Battery Systems

Work paradise... North West MT.

Our client specializes in integrated technology for voice, video, and data communications for mission-critical projects. They deliver turn-key mobile projects and are a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacturing mission support programs.

The purpose of the Electrical Engineer is to be actively involved in the relaying of critical information between Engineering and Production. The Electrical Engineer must have strong electrical wiring and troubleshooting experience and have the ability to take direction from and collaborate with Engineers, other Designers, Drafters, and Production staff in an efficient team environment.

**Battery management systems design experience required**


Essential Functions/Responsibility:

• Design unique custom electrical power distribution systems (120/240 AC & 12/24/48 DC), layouts and/or schematics based on

information from customer specifications, Mechanical Design Engineering drawings, and other sources which requires: o Use of
standard drawing templates.
o An electronic database to track components, available wire, etc.
o Calculations to track loads on each wire for correct sizing of generators, shore power which includes balancing loads to each line.
o Correctly label and size all wires, fuses, breakers, loads, etc.
o Program spreadsheets to generate Bill of Materials for electrical components.
o Communication with Mechanical Engineers to identify and resolve differences between Electrical drawings, Mechanical drawings,
and client requirements.

• Research, read, and understand outside standards such as IEEE, MIL, NEC, etc.
• Battery management system design.
• Battery manufacturing system design, battery system packaging, and battery certification projects.
• Develop detailed plans for marinization of existing and future battery systems, completing compliant battery system

documentation as needed.

• Create, implement, supervise, and document tests verifying designs meet customer requirements.
• Complete all analyses, documentation, and oversee schematics required for Production within established time frames as agreed

upon by the Operations team.

• Communicate with other Engineers, Project Management, Production Leads to identify and implement improvement

opportunities at the project level as well as a company level.

• Communicate with vendors and clients to troubleshoot designs, get information on new designs, and obtain specifications of

components.

• Assist Sales and Marketing by creating Electrical load calculations that can be used in proposals to customers.
• Track and record work hours for each specific project daily.
• Willing, on a limited basis, to travel as needed by Management.
• Additional duties as assigned by Management.

Basic Knowledge Desired:

• • Understanding of electrical loads, fuses, wire capacities, resistors, diodes, relays, etc.
• • NEC – Knowledge of National Electric Code. At a minimum, how to access code, and how to find information within the code.
• • Ability to provide documentation, detailed instructions, drawings, or specifications to tell others about how devices, parts, or

equipment are to be fabricated, constructed, assembled, modified, maintained, or used.

• • Knowledge of relevant equipment, policies, procedures, and strategies to promote the protection of people, data, property, and

institutions to always promote a safe work environment.

• • Knowledge to be able to operate a variety of current tools to include, but not limit to capacitance meters, electronic measuring

probes, frequency analyzers, frequency counters or time or dividers, microcontrollers, multi-meters, network analyzers,
oscilloscopes, personal computers, plotter printers, power meters, signal generators, soldering iron, voltage or current meters,
crimpers,
hand tools, data-loggers, design software.

• • Previous knowledge gained from experience with Computer Aided Electrical Schematic Design software.
• • Must be comfortable and knowledgeable with using Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, and Outlook). Abilities with Microsoft Access

are also helpful.
