About the Role

Mercor is partnering with a leading technology organization to recruit experienced Electrical Design Specialists for a short-term project. Specialists will apply their hands-on industry experience to analyze, evaluate, and solve complex electrical design and system-level engineering problems across a range of applications.

What You'll Do

• Develop, analyze, and evaluate electrical designs based on technical requirements, specifications, and system performance.

• Design and review electrical systems, circuits, equipment, and components, including distribution systems, power systems, control panels, switchgear, and motor control systems.

• Interpret and analyze electrical schematics, single-line and wiring diagrams, layouts, equipment specifications, and technical documentation.

• Perform electrical calculations including load flow, voltage drop, short-circuit analysis, protection coordination, and equipment sizing.

• Evaluate design alternatives, engineering trade-offs, and system performance, and identify potential design issues or improvements.

• Review and validate designs, calculations, assumptions, and technical approaches against project requirements and engineering standards.

Who Should Apply

• Experienced Electrical Design Engineers, Electrical Engineers, or Electrical Design Specialists with hands-on industry experience.

• Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.

• Strong understanding of electrical system design, power systems, and engineering principles.

• Practical experience designing or evaluating electrical systems across areas such as industrial facilities, infrastructure, manufacturing, energy, renewable energy, building services, or energy storage.

• Experience with low- and medium-voltage systems, electrical protection, equipment sizing, and power distribution.

• Experience with electrical design and engineering tools such as AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, SKM Power Tools, EPLAN, Revit, or equivalent is a plus.

Candidates with practical experience applying electrical engineering principles to real-world electrical systems are strongly preferred.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree or professional engineering certification.

• Experience with power system studies, including load flow, short-circuit analysis, and protection coordination.

• Experience specifying and sizing transformers, switchgear, cables, motors, and protection equipment.

• Experience with industrial automation, instrumentation, or control systems.

• Experience designing electrical systems for manufacturing facilities, data centers, renewable energy projects, or other complex infrastructure.

• Familiarity with applicable electrical codes and standards such as IEC, IEEE, NEC, or equivalent.

• Experience reviewing vendor drawings, equipment datasheets, technical submittals, and engineering designs.
