Job Title: Electrical Engineer 5

Location: Mossville, IL, 61552

Duration: 24 Months

Job Summary:

This position will have responsibility for defining and validating high voltage electrical components and systems (50V to over 1000V) and supporting powertrain integration for electrification programs (including diesel-electric, battery-electric, and hybrid machines), from concept through production. This position will be accountable for translating system requirements into appropriate high voltage electrical system designs while ensuring alignment with key safety standards. It will also have accountability for electrical system auditing, troubleshooting, validation, and issue resolution to ensure alignment to safety and regulatory standards and reliability expectations.

Job Duties/Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• Analyzing HV systems for proper protections and arc flash mitigation, using tools like ETAP, Pspice
• Creating electric powertrain system and sub-system diagrams
• Ensuring proper overload protection device selection and coordination
• Defining, integrating, and validating high voltage components in machine powertrain applications
• Driving requirements definition in support of electrical safety standards (IEEE, NFPA, IEC, ISO, UN)
• Assisting technical leads in conveying software requirements and component electronic information for HV diagnostics, events, and warnings to the various controls’ teams
• Virtual audits of HV powertrain systems for grounding, bonding, and cable selection / routing
• Supporting machine commissioning by evaluating compliance with standards, documenting and resolving issues and verifying safe operating procedures
• Development of HV system design guides, leveraging best practices and lessons from prior machine projects
• Sizing high voltage cables in powertrain applications
• Troubleshooting and analysis of field data
• Educating process partners on the hazards and best practices for working on high voltage electrical systems

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform high-voltage (HV) systems analysis, design, integration, testing, and troubleshooting for diesel-electric, hybrid, and battery-electric applications.
• Develop and review HV schematics and single-line diagrams; conduct cable sizing, load flow, short circuit, arc flash, and fuse coordination analysis using ETAP or similar tools.
• Define and cascade requirements aligning with industry standards (e.g., IEC 60204, IEC 61439, IEEE 992) and audit designs for safety, grounding, bonding, and cable routing improvements.

Required Skills:

• Strong experience in HV electrical systems (>600V DC) design, analysis, and integration.
• Proficiency in system-level tools for load flow, schematics, short circuit, and fuse coordination (ETAP or similar).
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills for cross-functional teamwork.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in automotive, EV, industrial power distribution, or switchgear applications.
• Knowledge of electrical safety and industry standards for HV systems.
• Hands-on experience with commissioning, troubleshooting, and diagnostics of HV equipment.
