Electrical FEED Engineer

We are ERock!

ERock is a leader and innovator in distributed energy. ERock has responded to long-term trends in electricity by becoming the first smart-grid supplier to US energy consumers. The company installs, operates, and integrates its highly flexible, low-cost, and quick-response distributed generation to increase reliability and stability, reduce costs and decrease carbon footprint.

At ERock, our backup generators ensure that customers will never be without power, allowing their business to operate normally when there is an outage in the area. Our innovative approach provides customers with highly reliable, ultra-clean backup generation at a fraction of the cost of traditional backup solutions. We seek those who share our commitment to customer service, innovation, and ingenuity.

Role Overview:

We are looking to hire a detailed-oriented, driven, and resourceful electrical engineer to assist our proposal team with FEED (Front-End Engineering and Design) engineering, providing innovative solutions, based on technical knowledge and practical constructability.  The successful candidate will review proposed designs and develop concrete configurations founded on equipment standards and industry norms.  The improved designs will then be provided to the project engineering team for final project execution.  The engineer will also assist with multiple (microgrid reliability as a service) Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects.

The engineering applicant will have a proven track record of performing project and electrical engineering work - mechanical engineering experience is a plus.  The position will report to the Manager of Microgrid Engineering and will work on a hybrid schedule based out of our headquarters in downtown Houston, TX.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading and coordinating front-end design and engineering development activities to establish the technical basis for detailed design and project execution.
• Developing and defining the project’s electrical scope, design criteria, and basis of design documents (BODs) in alignment with client objectives and applicable standards.
• Supporting the preparation of conceptual layouts, one-lines, and preliminary equipment sizing for distributed generation and microgrid systems.
• Evaluating technical alternatives and feasibility during concept development to optimize performance, cost, and schedule.
• Collaborating closely with project managers, system engineers, and discipline leads to ensure technical alignment and proper integration of electrical systems into the overall project design.
• Supporting development of key design decisions, such as topology selection, redundancy philosophy, and protection schemes.
• Coordinating with third-party vendors and specialists to obtain and incorporate budgetary quotations and technical data into FEED deliverables.
• Ensuring that FEED documentation meets applicable codes, standards (NEC, ANSI, IEEE, NFPA), and project quality requirements.
• Developing concept-level power system models (ETAP or equivalent) to support load flow, short circuit, and protection coordination studies at the FEED level.
• Preparing and reviewing technical memoranda, design basis documents, and design assumptions registers.
• Additional responsibilities may be added at the direction of Company’s management.
