"Power Distribution Engineer"

Position Description

The Power Distribution Engineer will work with other electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical system designers, and technicians developing, designing, procuring, and installing cable distribution systems and electrically powered systems for the EIC. The EIC Rapid Cycling Synchrotron, Electron Storage Ring, and Hadron Ring, use high current electromagnets that run in DC mode, ramped mode, and fast pulsed mode with various power supply types and cable types, both high and low voltage. There are also specialized cables for beam instrumentation and RF. These cables will be located in the EIC tunnel and service buildings installed on cable trays and in underground conduit. This engineer will also work closely with safety personnel to be sure all NEC codes are strictly enforced and all job planning processes are completed before any job begins. This engineer will also provide design support for specifying proper cable type, cable placement, cable tray configuration, cable thermal calculations, and electronic rack design and proper cooling. The EIC seeks an individual with a background in the NEC code, cable distribution systems, and electrical racks and components that apply to an industrial complexes.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Define requirements and manage the implementation of cable, cable tray, grounding, conduit and lighting.
• Design cable tray and conduit systems for electrical cables, raceways, and insulated conductors used for electric power distribution, control, signal instrumentation, and communication.
• Specify cable placement in the tray and ensure all cables maintain minimum bend radii.
• Consider cable temperature and how the cables shall be spaced in the trays and in the conduits from tunnel to outside.
• Determine if cables shall be passively air cooled, especially in vertically stacked cable trays
• Serve as an electrical inspector for new equipment and support electrical safety related to rack mounted and standalone electrical equipment.
• Work with other electrical engineers and electricians developing, designing, and installing cable trays for the EIC.
• Procure and order cable tray and conduit as required.
