Prepare and manage electrical change orders, submittals, and requests for information (RFIs) during project execution.

Facility Upgrade & Tool Installation Support:

Provide expert electrical engineering support throughout the project lifecycle for new fab construction, facility expansions, and tool installations.

Ensure all electrical designs for upgrades and new tools comply with NEC, SEMI standards, corporate specifications, and power quality requirements for sensitive manufacturing equipment.

Validate power quality and availability for new tool hook-ups, ensuring proper voltage, current, and harmonic levels.

Power System Reliability & Management (during projects):

Apply advanced load shedding and load restoration principles during project planning to mitigate risks associated with planned outages or unexpected power events.

Review and validate protective device settings and coordination for new or modified electrical infrastructure to ensure safe and reliable operation post-commissioning.

Conduct arc flash, short circuit, and load flow studies to support project design, commissioning, and operational readiness.

Safety, Compliance & Operational Excellence:

Champion electrical safety across all project phases, particularly during high-risk energization, testing, and maintenance activities, with deep expertise in medium voltage safety practices and procedures.

Ensure strict compliance with NFPA 70E for electrical safety in the workplace, OSHA regulations, and NFPA 70B for electrical equipment maintenance.
