Principal Facilities Electrical Engineer (High Voltage)

Quick Facts

• Role: Principal Facilities Electrical Engineer (High Voltage)

• Focus: commissioning, project execution, and operational readiness for medium-voltage electrical systems (up to 12,000 V)

• Site-based: Roseville, CA; Monday–Friday with overtime as required

Description

Lead commissioning and startup activities to ensure seamless integration of new and upgraded electrical systems—from design validation through energization—without disrupting semiconductor fabrication operations. Execute complex facility electrical projects safely, maintain code compliance, and enable successful energization and handoff for facility upgrades and new tool installations.

Responsibilities

• Commissioning & Startup Leadership: lead commissioning for upgrades, expansions, and new tool installations; develop commissioning plans and validation protocols; troubleshoot and resolve issues to meet energization timelines.

• Project Execution & Documentation: author/review/approve electrical scope of work (SOWs), switching and LOTO schedules; create SOPs, maintenance procedures, and emergency response plans; manage change orders, submittals, and RFIs.

• Facility Upgrades & Tool Installation: provide electrical engineering support across the project lifecycle including fab construction, expansions, and tool installations; ensure designs meet NEC, SEMI standards, corporate specifications, and power quality requirements.

• Power System Reliability & Safety: apply load-shedding/restoration strategies; ensure electrical safety for medium-voltage energization and maintenance; maintain compliance with NFPA 70E, OSHA, and NFPA 70B; maintain as-built documentation and support electrical incident activities.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

• 5–10 years of electrical engineering experience with construction support and operational troubleshooting

• Proficiency with power distribution systems, MCCs, VFDs, and backup/emergency power systems

• Experience with low- and medium-voltage systems up to 12,000 V

• Knowledge of electrical codes and standards: NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, NETA

• Skilled in Revit and CAD drafting tools (e.g., AutoCAD)

• Ability to read single-line drawings

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision plans

• HSA and flexible spending accounts

• 401(k) with employer match

• Wellness programs

• Life insurance and long-term disability insurance
