The Facilities and Logistics Operations Division is responsible for the overall physical development and maintenance of the laboratory. The objective of the division is to provide a safe physical environment that promotes the advancement and transfer of knowledge.  Our core function is the stewardship, reliability, and safe operation of the Lab’s physical infrastructure, site structures, utility systems, and equipment.

We invite you to join the Facilities Operations Section within the Facilities and Logistics Operations Division to serve as an Electrical Engineer. This is a senior role within the Facilities Management group and will report to the Group Supervisor. In this role, you will be responsible for the overall reliability, maintainability, oversight, and compliance of highly complex institutional electrical infrastructure across the Lab, ranging from low-voltage system to critical high-voltage substations.

Tasks include but are not limited to:

• Conduct technically challenging quality inspections of maintenance work performed by subcontractors on critical electrical systems (e.g., UPS, switchgear, generators, 16.5 kV substations) to ensure strict compliance with job plans, industry standards (NFPA, NETA, CEC, etc.)

• Lead and conduct investigations, Failure Mode Analysis, and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on major electrical equipment failures and downtime incidents.

• Develops and implements strategic, long-term corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

• Design, implement, and continuously improve complex preventive/predictive maintenance (PM/PdM) programs.

• Develops, reviews, and updates as needed standard electrical policies, procedures, and requirements.

• Serves as a mentor, providing guidance and technical mentorship to operations personnel, construction/project managers, and multidisciplinary teams regarding electrical troubleshooting, maintenance procedures, and technology improvements.

• Reviews/approves all third-party MOPs and Lockout/Tagout Procedures (LOPs) to ensure maintainability, sustainability, and absolute safety.

• Conducts final-level design reviews and plan checks for new construction and reconstruction projects, specifically evaluating electrical system designs for compliance, long-term maintainability, and reliability performance.

• Identifies major energy conservation and plant modernization projects that go beyond the scope of current subcontractor duties, contributing significantly to established energy goals and continual plant reliability improvement.

• Ensures all maintenance, repair, and modification activities are executed in strict accordance with NASA-approved directives, organizational policies, and current local/national electrical codes (e.g., NFPA 70, NETA, CEC/NEC).

• Interfaces regularly with management and JPL project stakeholders, internal & external organizations (e.g., subcontract partners, NASA centers) as the technical representative during design, development and execution of electrical infrastructure related projects.

• Functions as the technical advisor to management on all significant electrical maintenance issues.
