Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Define how electrical scope is developed and validated during FEED phases for EPC projects.
• Review and validate electrical inputs and equipment requirements across early-phase project packages.
• Create repeatable, automated checks to identify inconsistencies in load assumptions, equipment specifications, and package interfaces.
• Map sources of electrical rework in preconstruction workflows and identify root causes of delays or errors.
• Clarify critical interfaces between electrical systems and mechanical, instrumentation, and overall project constraints.
• Distinguish between repetitive tasks suitable for automation and tasks requiring expert engineering judgment.
• Translate real-world electrical engineering workflows into precise product requirements for AI-driven preconstruction tools.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to validate software outputs against industry standards and project realities.
• Ensure automated checks align with industry practices for load lists, equipment requirements, and distribution concepts.
• Identify opportunities to reduce manual effort in preconstruction without compromising engineering quality or safety.
• Apply knowledge of NFPA, IEC, IEEE, or equivalent standards to validate electrical system designs and documentation.
• Analyze cross-disciplinary dependencies to improve coordination between electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation teams.
• Support the development of AI models by providing domain-specific validation criteria and edge-case examples.
• Contribute to the design of workflows that empower engineers to retain control over critical decisions while automating routine tasks.
• Participate in client and stakeholder feedback loops to refine product features based on actual field and design team experiences.
• Document electrical workflow patterns and pain points to guide product roadmap prioritization.
• Serve as a subject matter expert for electrical engineering processes within the AI product development lifecycle.
• Ensure all automated validations reflect industry norms for brownfield tie-ins, constrained power systems, and hazardous area requirements where applicable.
• Maintain alignment between software capabilities and the practical constraints of large-scale power and LNG projects.
• Help shape the future of preconstruction engineering by bridging deep domain expertise with cutting-edge AI automation.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of experience at an EPC, PMC, or owner operator
• Strong understanding of FEED and early detailed design electrical workflows
• Experience with typical downstream electrical deliverables (load lists, equipment requirements, distribution concepts)
• Knowledge of NFPA, IEC, IEEE, or similar standards
• Ability to spot inconsistencies across equipment requirements and vendor packages
• Clear understanding of cross-discipline dependencies

🏖️ Benefits

• Meaningful base + equity
• Unlimited PTO: We believe great work requires recharging.
• Insurance: Generous health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision.
• Health and Wellness Budget: We provide up to $150/mo reimbursement for health and wellness spending, such as gym memberships, fitness classes, or similar.
