Lead Electrical Engineer

Berkeley Lab - California - (LBNL) has an opening for a Lead Electrical Engineer to join the team. In this exciting role, you will work with (ALS) at LBNL, a state-of-the-art soft x-ray user facility that is preparing for an upgrade that will revolutionize the science research possibilities in the discipline of photon science. The upgrade is a challenging engineering task and an exciting opportunity for all involved in the project. One of the most challenging tasks in the project is the Removal and Installation (R&I) effort because of the scope of work and timeline limitations for minimizing the down-time of the facility. We are looking for a high-level Electrical Engineer capable of planning and executing the (ALS-U) Removal and Installation (R&I) task. You will develop, plan, and execute the electrical engineering aspects of the removal and installation effort. Additionally, you will work closely with the R&I CAM and the Mechanical R&I Lead engineer to develop detailed planning of the installation sequence and have to coordinate closely with the technical design teams, ALS operations, facilities, and EH&S. You must have a broad background in electrical engineering, particularly systems engineering, background in high power electrical systems (RF or DC), manufacturing engineering, and working experience working within the National Lab environment. Ideally, you would have practical hand-on experience in overseeing larger scale installation efforts as the effort might require interfacing with the Facilities Division and contractors to ensure code compliance and EVAP (Energization Validation and Authorization Packages) sign-off. The work will require the ability to lead, interface, and work within a large diverse team and will require excellent technical communication skills. The tasks are intellectual, non-routine, and will require sound engineering judgment, the ability to plan out the work independently, and engineering decision making with a wide range in scope. You must be able to coordinate and lead a diverse workforce, interface with, and oversee an outside contractor work. What You Will Do: Work closely with the Accelerator Engineering leads to integrate the installation effort with the design and provide input from R&I with the goal to simplify installation tasks and optimize installation for efficiency. Develop the electrical installation plans by developing an integrated engineering design using input from the technical subsystem. Oversee development of the cable plant, cable inventory, and cable installation and termination. Provide general supervision of field service contractors and electrical workers. Serve as a cognizant engineer and POC for all electrical Removal and Installation issues by providing direction and guidance to the small removal and installation engineering team or contractor team (design and execution). Serve as a cognizant engineer and POC for the facility and EH&S subject matter experts. Develop a LOTO and energization plan and oversee the execution of these plans. Interface with ALS operations to organize R&I tasks for ALS shutdown days. Support the hand-off of the accelerator installation to commissioning with the required documentation. Collaborate across diverse technical fields (accelerator physics, magnet design, controls, facilities engineering) to collect specifications and requirements for the installation tasks. Participate in design reviews for the ALS, ALS-U, and other projects. Provide engineering requirements to the design team that facilitates ease of installation and maintenance of the components. Use a broad array of analytical, computational, and experimental, instrumentation, and hardware design skills in the development of detailed installation sequences and methods. Independently apply engineering principles, methods, and research techniques to creatively solve complex problems based on new technology. Develop, approve, and release assembly schematics, drawings, work instructions, check-lists, and other supporting documents to facility clear guidelines for the removal and installation crews. Support writing specifications for technically complex or challenging procurements; including the gathering and organization of technical details and requirements. Develop project scope and estimate related logistics, e.g. cost estimates and assembly/installation timelines. Participate in developing electrical safety procedures for high voltage, current, and/or energy devices. Be responsible for technical efforts to meet project deliverables. What Is Required: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or related field or equivalent experience. Normally 8+ years of relevant experience. Demonstrated extensive knowledge in engineering integration (mechanical and electrical), mechanical design, and fabrication. The lead engineering role typically acquired with eight+ years of experience. Demonstrated experience in managing technical projects of medium-scale and large-scale including the ability to make accurate manpower, time, and expense estimates for completion of projects. Previous experience with large scale electrical installations and/or operations and maintenance of large user facilities, complex experiments, or industrial installation. Demonstrated extensive knowledge and experience accelerator or complex scientific experiment engineering design, and mechanical issues and manufacturing thereof. Experience leading and supervising others effectively in a team environment. Demonstrated ability to make sound technical decisions, to solve difficult problems, and to interact effectively within a diverse team. Demonstrated strong technical understanding and knowledge in an electrical engineering area relevant for accelerator systems (such as high power PS, RF, measurements, signal processing, controls) Ability to provide perspective on a high systems engineering level, and the ability to guide a technical team on a detailed expert level. Demonstrated ability to make sound technical decisions, to solve difficult problems, and to interact effectively within a diverse team. Ability to exercise, sound engineering judgment, analytical ability, and evidence of strong written and verbal technical communication skills. Demonstrated ability to make independent decisions and lead other scientists and engineers in defining goals and implementing activities to realize the goals. Organizational skills with the ability to handle multiple competing priorities and projects. Additional Desired Qualifications: M.S. or equivalent experience. Experience with PLM systems and QA workflows. Experience in an R&D and national laboratory environment. Programming and database experience. Knowledge of electrical codes and electrical safety such as NEC, LOTO and NFPA 70E. Mechanical CAD system experience, and understanding of mechanical modeling.. Knowledge of CAD tools for schematic capture such as OrCAD or Mentor Graphics, cable routing software such as Creo Schematics and mechanical design such as AutoCAD or other modeling tools. Adaptability and desire to learn new skills and technologies. The posting shall remain open until the position is filled.
