What this role is
A senior individual-contributor electrical engineer who leads complex power system design efforts and provides technical direction on high-voltage infrastructure projects. At the Principal Support Specialist (S5) level, the role owns function-wide support practice, program-level and systemic support problems, and drives support strategy across the function. Subject-matter authority; shapes the practice.
What this level does
- Create and document new drafting conventions, test procedures and calculation-worksheet methods for the electrical support group, establishing the standards junior staff and peers follow
- Facilitate the most complex or unprecedented prototype builds and compliance reviews, developing techniques to validate designs against NEC/OSHA where existing methods fall short
- Act as the recognized working lead and reference point for the drafting and lab-technician team, providing peer guidance on tools (AutoCAD Electrical, MATLAB, Simulink, PSIM) and interpreting ambiguous code requirements
- Advise engineers and stakeholders on the buildability, testability and documentation implications of proposed designs, and drive training of the support team on new tools and standards
- Knowledge applied
- Highly skilled specialist who contributes to creating new drafting conventions, test procedures and calculation methods for the support group.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Develops techniques and resolves complex, unprecedented documentation and compliance issues.
- Collaboration & interaction
- Acts as working lead/facilitator; provides peer guidance and drives training on tools and standards.
- Typical experience
- 6+ years; expert in electrical drafting/test support.
Skills at this level
- AutoCAD Electrical drafting
- — Produces electrical schematics, panel layouts and wiring diagrams in AutoCAD Electrical from sketches and redlines, applying wire-numbering, cross-referencing and title-block conventions.
- Electrical calculations
- — Performs voltage, current and load calculations into standard worksheets to support conductor sizing and component selection on drawing packages.
- Codes, standards, and compliance
- — Checks drawings and assemblies against NEC and OSHA reference tables for conductor sizes, clearances and labeling, and reconciles discrepancies for engineer review.
- Prototype build and bench testing
- — Sets up and runs prototype rigs and continuity, insulation and load tests on electrical components or assemblies, recording results against expected ranges.
- Design & simulation software
- — Runs MATLAB/Simulink models and Powersim PSIM simulations at engineer request to reproduce circuit behavior and help isolate faults.
- Design documentation and revision control
- — Logs design revisions in the drawing register, compiles engineering reports, and keeps revision states aligned across multidisciplinary drawing exchanges.
- Multidisciplinary coordination
- — Coordinates day-to-day drawing and data exchange with mechanical and other engineering disciplines to keep an electrical package consistent.
- Quality control analysis
- — Conducts check-print reviews and inspections of test data to evaluate that drawings and prototypes meet specification before release.
- Procedure development
- — Creates and documents new drafting conventions, test procedures and calculation templates for the electrical support group to follow.
- Coaching/mentoring
- — Guides less experienced drafters and technicians on tools, standards and check-print practice as an informal working lead.
