Senior Electrical Engineer

Location/Remote: Onsite in Milford, OH 45150 (i.e., 5 days onsite/week); will offer 1 - 2 days remote/week after 30 days Employment Type: Direct Hire/Full Time/Permanent Compensation: Salary up to $140k + bonus (depending on experience) We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the development of our large-scale generator systems. This role requires a versatile engineer who can excel in both electrical engineering and SCADA/PLC programming. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with C/C++, Simulink, and the integration of complex control systems. Key Responsibilities: Lead the design, development, and implementation of large-scale generator systems (megawatt scale) focusing on efficiency, reliability, and scalability. Perform load analysis, fault studies, and risk assessments to ensure system performance and safety. Collaborate with project teams to integrate generator systems into industrial or commercial power networks. Design, configure, and implement SCADA systems for real-time monitoring and control of generator systems. Program and configure PLCs (specifically B&R) for generator control, integrating fuel, air, cooling, and pressure instrumentation. Develop control logic for managing fuel injection systems, air intake systems, cooling systems, and pressure monitoring devices to optimize generator operation. Ensure accurate control and synchronization between fuel supply, air flow, cooling rates, and pressure feedback for optimal system performance. Troubleshoot and resolve PLC-related issues in real-time control, ensuring stable communication between all subsystems. Model and simulate electrical power systems, control algorithms, and the dynamic behavior of generator systems. Perform simulations to optimize control strategies for fuel, air, cooling, and pressure subsystems using Simulink. Utilize Ethernet-based protocols and CAN for communication between instrumentation, control systems, and remote monitoring stations. Create detailed technical documentation to support UL certification and other regulatory approvals. Lead on-site system testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting, including SCADA-PLC integration and performance optimization. Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering required; Master's degree preferred. 10+ years of experience in electrical engineering, with specific experience in PLC integration, instrumentation, and SCADA systems for generator systems. Proven experience in designing, developing, and commissioning generator systems in the megawatt range. Hands-on experience with PLCs such as B&R, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, or Schneider Electric. Experience with SCADA communication protocols (e.g., Ethernet/IP) and networking best practices. Hands-on experience with CAN (Controller Area Network) protocol for industrial applications, including real-time communication and control of machinery and devices. Proficiency in C/C++ and Simulink for simulating and analyzing power systems, generator dynamics, and control algorithms. Expertise in integrating fuel systems, air systems, cooling systems, and pressure instrumentation into control strategies. Proficiency in designing and configuring control systems, including data acquisition, control logic, and HMI interfaces. Excellent troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, specifically in PLC and instrumentation integration. Familiarity with electrical design tools such as AutoCAD Electrical for creating schematics and layouts.
