What this role is
An expert-level individual contributor who designs and validates complex electrical power and signaling systems with minimal oversight. At the Expert Professional (P5) level, the role owns multiple systems or a technical domain, establishes the approach, and drives org / multi-team outcomes. Leads cross-team technical initiatives.
What this level does
- Apply advanced expertise in control systems, electrical equipment, and electrical systems to deliver high-quality solutions to significant or unique engineering problems within an accepted design tradition
- Improve established product lines and equipment designs through iterative test, experiment, and mid-build correction, elaborating proven designs to meet demanding performance targets
- Act independently on broad electrical engineering assignments, choosing among known solutions and grounding decisions in physical trial-and-error and validated catalogs of proven components
- Serve as a technical reference and external spokesperson on core competencies, mentoring engineers and providing copyable, proof-tested successes others adopt with confidence
- Knowledge applied
- Deep, specialist mastery of an accepted design tradition; improves proven designs through iterative test and physical trial-and-error against demanding targets.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Addresses significant or unique bounded problems within an established methodology; relies on experiment and mid-build correction.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Operates within an established design community using shared methods and data; acts as external spokesperson and high-independence mentor.
- Typical experience
- 12+ years with extensive electrical engineering expertise.
Skills at this level
- Computer-Aided Design / Engineering Software
- — Operates computer-assisted engineering and design software to produce electrical technical drawings and model instruments, equipment, and systems for design and analysis tasks.
- Electrical Engineering Calculations
- — Performs detailed calculations to compute and establish manufacturing, construction, or installation standards and specifications for electrical components and systems.
- Electrical Codes and Standards Compliance
- — Develops technical drawings and specifications that comply with relevant electrical specifications, codes, and standards, and verifies designs against them.
- Electrical Systems Testing and Safety Verification
- — Conducts testing to ensure electrical systems and components meet safety standards, and troubleshoots and resolves technical issues surfaced during test.
- Technical Documentation
- — Documents testing activities and the specifications of electrical components and systems, and produces reports with actionable insights to inform design decisions.
- Control Systems
- — Applies control systems principles and theory as a core electrical engineering competency when designing and improving equipment and system behavior.
- Electrical Equipment Design
- — Designs, implements, maintains, and improves electrical instruments and equipment such as electric motors, power generation equipment, and navigation systems.
- Detail Orientation
- — Keeps track of multiple design elements and technical characteristics simultaneously while designing and developing complex electrical systems and electronic components.
- Programming Knowledge
- — Applies working knowledge of programming languages alongside computer-aided design software to automate and perform electrical engineering tasks.
- Manufacturing and Installation Coordination
- — Directs or coordinates manufacturing, construction, installation, maintenance, support, documentation, and testing activities to ensure compliance with specifications, codes, and customer requirements.
- Failure Analysis
- — Investigates electrical system and field failures to identify the underlying cause behind the cause, distinguishing proven root causes from plausible-but-unverified explanations.
- Engineering Project Planning and Budgeting
- — Spearheads electrical projects from planning to execution — setting goals and budgets, establishing guidelines, developing test structures, and creating strategies across the project lifecycle.
