Senior Electrical Design Engineer Location: Austin or Dallas, TX (Hybrid) Type: Full-Time Overview A leading engineering solutions provider in the mission-critical infrastructure space is seeking a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to support rapid growth across complex, high-value projects. This role is ideal for an experienced engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments, can operate independently, and is comfortable owning design deliverables from concept through execution. You will play a key role in delivering electrical designs for data centers, power plants, and other industrial/mission-critical facilities, working closely with clients, internal teams, and manufacturing partners.

Key Responsibilities Design & Technical Execution (≈80%) Lead and support electrical design across multiple concurrent projects (up to ~15) Develop and produce: Single-line diagrams Electrical schematics Equipment layout drawings Technical specifications Design low- to medium-voltage (LV–MV) power distribution systems, including: Utility and generator integration UPS systems and backup power Distribution and protection systems Perform or support protection and coordination studies (experience with SEL relays strongly preferred) Create designs directly in CAD tools (no dedicated drafting team) Project & Client Engagement Engage directly with customers on a daily basis, especially during early project phases Support pre-sales engineering efforts, including: Concept design 3D modelling Technical proposals and specifications Collaborate cross-functionally with: Project Managers Manufacturing teams Field technicians Junior engineers Participate in: Site visits Factory visits Technical presentations and troubleshooting discussions Project Lifecycle Involvement Heavily involved in early-stage design and project acquisition (first ~4 weeks) Transition into a support/review role during execution and delivery Contribute to ongoing service and lifecycle support of deployed systems What You’ll Deliver in Your First 6–12 Months Independently execute high-quality electrical designs across multiple projects Reduce bandwidth constraints on senior team members by owning deliverables end-to-end Support successful project wins through strong concept design and technical input Build trusted relationships with clients through effective communication and responsiveness Mentor junior engineers and contribute to overall team capability Required Experience & Skills Strong background in electrical design for industrial or large commercial facilities Experience with: Power distribution systems (LV–MV) Protection and coordination principles Mission-critical environments (e.g., data centers, power plants, hospitals, airports, manufacturing facilities) Proficiency in design tools such as: AutoCAD Revit SolidWorks (or similar) Ability to: Work independently with minimal supervision Produce complete design packages (not just redlines) Deliver high-quality work under tight timelines (often 1–2 day turnarounds) Strong communication skills and ability to interface directly with clients Preferred Qualifications Experience with SEL relays and related protection systems Background in MEP or architectural engineering firms, utilities, or industrial facilities Exposure to both custom-engineered and standardized design environments Experience mentoring junior engineers or technicians
