What We Do

Integer Technologies is an applied research and product development company founded by scientists and engineers with a passion for technology and national security. We perform R&D on next-generation systems and technologies for the Department of Defense (DoD) and other U.S. Government agencies, turning research into impactful products with military and commercial applications. Our core portfolio of research includes projects in power & energy systems, unmanned systems (with an emphasis on maritime systems), digital engineering, and advanced manufacturing.

Our power & energy systems portfolio supports the DoD's electrification of platforms, such as Navy ships. Our research involves hybrid and electric propulsion systems, large energy storage devices, power converters, autonomy, digital twins, and integration with mission systems to achieve fast and reliable power system response.

About the Role

The Senior Electrical Power Systems Engineer role requires a strong background in electrical power systems, power converters, and electric machines. They should understand the multi-domain physics behind power system components and be capable of maintaining virtual representations of the physical systems to be used for applications such as health monitoring, diagnostics, prognostics, and advanced controls.

The Senior Electrical Power Systems Engineer should understand how to identify important features and dynamic phenomena of a physical system across the electrical, thermal, and mechanical domains and be capable of creating appropriate computer models of these systems which incorporate the relevant features, dynamics, and application-critical behaviors. A candidate should understand the concepts of transient, steady-state, and load flow analysis, understand the appropriate applications for each, and demonstrate the ability to perform the studies and interpret the results.

The successful candidate must demonstrate an attitude for growth, continuously expanding their knowledge and skill to remain on the cutting-edge. The candidate must be organized and detail oriented. This role may involve interacting with customers whose needs are constantly evolving and are sometimes difficult to articulate; thus, strong communication skills will also be beneficial.

Integer is a science and technology research and development organization. As such, much of our work entails developing solutions for complex problems that presently have no known solutions. To achieve internal and customer project goals all candidates must be able to perform research, understand new concepts from other engineering disciplines on advanced and complex topics, and document findings in a way that is easy for non-experts to understand.

Core Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or similar technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience industry experience in microgrid power systems, integrated power system concepts, and/or ship power systems.
• Demonstrated mastery of at least one computer modeling & simulation environment (MATLAB/Simulink preferred).
• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, C++, Java) with a preference for Python.
• Experience writing, simulating, and deploying control software for power systems and power system components.
• Demonstrated subject matter expertise in one or more of the following technical areas:
• Electrical Power and Energy Systems including electric machinery, gas turbines, diesel generators, propulsion systems, batteries, power electronics, switchgear, etc.
• Cooling and Ventilation Systems including heat exchangers, pumps, valves, piping, expansion tanks, fans, etc.
• Machinery Control Systems including sensing, communication, and system level controls for electric plants, machinery, and electromechanical systems.
• U.S. citizenship. Must have the ability to obtain a U.S. Secret security clearance that requires U.S. citizenship. Applicants selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

Additional Desired Qualifications

• A graduate degree (Masters/PhD) in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or similar technical discipline.
• Experience with power systems in military and/or marine applications.
• A record of relevant industry experience, technical leadership, publications, or other recognitions for expertise may substitute for an advanced degree.
• Deep technical knowledge of simulation solver technologies and numerical integration methods. Awareness of industry best practices for robust numerical convergence.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., Python, C++, Java).
• Experience using software version control and working in an agile coding environment with peer collaboration and code reviews.
• Experience writing software to automate and schedule batches of simulations.
• Experience with objective functions and optimal control of dynamic systems.
• Experience with machine learning applied to data driven modeling.
• Real time simulation of power system components using RTDS, Typhoon, Speedgoat, etc.

Compensation and Benefits

• Base salary which exceeds local & national industry averages.
• Integer fully covers medical, prescription, vision, and dental insurance costs for the employee and dependents. Integer's standard plan pays 100% of health insurance premiums for your entire family from a well-known national insurer, saving employees thousands of dollars annually.
• Year-end performance-based bonuses.
• 401(k) with company matching that vest immediately; no funny business.
• Paid vacation.
• Paid sick leave.
• Paid holidays.
• Hybrid schedule: Mondays and Fridays are work from home (optional).
• Paid Bereavement.
• Paid parental leave.

Company Perks

• Startup culture with the stability of a large company. Integer's business plan has years of time phased contracted work, alleviating the would-be risk from a traditional small company.
• Direct access to company leadership, prioritization of people over process, and a stellar team with a shared desire for personal and professional growth.
• Friendly atmosphere where people enjoy not only their work and what they are creating but enjoy helping each other as well.
• Bottomless coffee.
