Position Overview

Essnova Solutions, Inc. is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to support the Advanced Light Source Upgrade (ALS-U) Cable Plant and associated electrical infrastructure at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

This position supports the full engineering lifecycle—including design, planning, installation, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning—for complex electrical and cabling systems in a highly technical research environment.

The Electrical Engineer will collaborate with subsystem leads, engineers, designers, technicians, contractors, operations personnel, and other stakeholders to ensure electrical and cabling requirements are accurately developed, documented, integrated, and executed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable LBNL, ALS, and ALS-U requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the design and engineering of AC distribution, electrical equipment, cable distribution, cable routing, cable tray and raceway systems, grounding, and related electrical infrastructure.
• Develop and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, rack and equipment layouts, cable-routing plans, parts lists, bills of materials, specifications, interface documents, and installation work instructions.
• Develop and evaluate practical cable-routing and cable tray/raceway solutions for ALS-U equipment and systems.
• Apply NEC requirements and established LBNL, ALS, and ALS-U engineering practices to electrical distribution, equipment installation, grounding, cabling, and related infrastructure.
• Select and evaluate electrical components and equipment based on technical requirements, reliability, maintainability, safety, and applicable codes and standards.
• Use CAD, 3D CAD, BIM, and electrical engineering tools to develop, evaluate, and maintain designs.
• Participate in electrical design reviews and multidisciplinary technical reviews.
• Coordinate electrical and cabling interfaces across engineering disciplines.
• Support installation planning, readiness reviews, inspections, material requirements, procurement, and kitting activities.
• Evaluate field conditions and review installed work, cable routing, tray and raceway systems, equipment installation, and infrastructure against approved designs and requirements.
• Review contractor and subcontractor technical documentation, respond to field questions, monitor work, and support verification of compliance with approved designs.
• Resolve electrical design, installation, and technical-interface issues encountered during execution.
• Support electrical system integration, testing, troubleshooting, and commissioning.
• Maintain accurate field markups, as-built information, testing and commissioning records, calculations, and other configuration-controlled engineering documentation.
• Perform all work in accordance with applicable Berkeley Lab environment, health, safety, electrical-safety, cybersecurity, training, and site-access requirements.

Requirements

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering field and at least two years of related engineering experience; a master’s degree and at least one year of related experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Experience designing and implementing electrical, electronics, and facility systems.
• Experience developing and interpreting electrical engineering drawings and documentation, including schematics, layouts, wiring diagrams, cable-routing plans, and bills of materials.
• Working knowledge of NEC requirements applicable to AC distribution and electrical equipment installation.
• Experience with CAD software such as AutoCAD.
• Experience with 3D CAD software such as Revit or comparable tools.
• Experience using E-CAD tools for schematic capture, electrical layout, simulation, and design for manufacture.
• Eligible to work in the United States.

Preferred Qualifications

Candidates do not need to meet every preferred qualification. Strong alignment with the core technical requirements is the priority.

• Five or more years of related electrical engineering experience or equivalent senior-level experience.
• Experience independently leading electrical engineering design and implementation for complex systems.
• Substantial experience with electrical distribution, equipment installation, cabling, cable routing, cable tray and raceway systems, grounding, and/or experimental electrical systems.
• Advanced knowledge of NEC and electrical-safety requirements, including NFPA 70 and NFPA 70E.
• Experience with Revit, BIM, or multidisciplinary 3D design coordination.
• Experience with SKM and/or ETAP for electrical analysis and design activities.
• Experience supporting electrical system integration, testing, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
• Experience in a research laboratory, national laboratory, particle accelerator, industrial facility, or similarly complex technical environment.
• Experience coordinating multidisciplinary engineering work and resolving complex technical interfaces.
