An Electrical Engineer for Semiconductor Commissioning plans, tests, and verifies complex electrical systems (power distribution, UPS, generators, process power) in semiconductor fabs, ensuring safe, efficient, and compliant installation and operation, working closely with design/construction teams to resolve issues, document everything, and prepare for facility turnover. Key duties include developing test plans, conducting FATs/SATs, managing punch lists, troubleshooting, and ensuring adherence to NEC/NFPA standards. Minimum 8 years of experience commissioning and testing electrical systems in semiconductor, advanced manufacturing, or data center environments. Experience with commissioning processes for mission-critical and high-reliability electrical systems.
Electrical Study Responsibilities: The role includes responsibility for performing and reviewing electrical studies that support commissioning and energization readiness, including load flow, temporary power load assessments, short-circuit analysis, arc flash evaluations, protective device coordination, and capacity validation. Study results are applied to confirm system adequacy, equipment ratings, safe work requirements, and turnover readiness using tools such as ETAP and/or SKM PowerTools.

* Collaborate: Actively seeks out others' opinions and input and is open-minded to their views. Challenges others appropriately and is also open to being challenged on their own views.
* Communicate: Is effective at adapting their communication style appropriately to their audience, providing context and using the right tone and level of information.
