Job Details
New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That’s our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers—literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you’re driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you’re ready for JPL.
Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence.
The Facilities and Logistics Operations Division (6400) oversees the physical development, maintenance, and safe operation of the Laboratory’s infrastructure to enable advanced workplaces, resilient systems, and uninterrupted mission support. Within this division, the Facilities Engineering & Construction Section (641) provides the planning, design, engineering, and construction services for the efficient and timely delivery of Facilities Construction Projects.
We are seeking a Quality Assurance Electrical Engineer for the Engineering & Design Group, a core professional role within the Standards and Compliance (S&C) sub team. This specialist is responsible for the technical review and permitting of facilities design and construction activities, ensuring strict adherence to building codes, JPL Facilities Design Standards, and evaluating projects for constructability, maintainability, and sustainability.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
• Review electrical design drawings, calculations, and specifications for:
Compliance with the NFPA 70/National Electric Code (NEC), California Electrical Code (CEC), and applicable building and energy codes.
Adherence to the JPL Facilities Design Standards and accepted engineering practices.
Coordination with architectural, structural, mechanical, and other building systems.
Constructability, clarity, completeness, and long-term maintainability.
• Review and evaluate:
Electrical load calculations, short-circuit and coordination studies, and single-line diagrams.
Grounding and bonding systems, lighting and lighting control systems, and power distribution systems.
Verify compatibility of new electrical systems with existing building infrastructure.
Provide clear, concise, and actionable written Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) comments and technical feedback to designers and consultants using Bluebeam.
Review resubmittals and verify incorporation of required corrections.
Assist in the development and maintenance of QA/QC review standards, checklists, and procedures.
Participate in technical meetings and internal design reviews; provide guidance on code interpretation and design issues.
Identify non-conforming work, potential safety risks, and design deficiencies, and support their resolution.
Maintain accurate records of reviews, approvals, and QA/QC documentation.
Prepare activity summaries and status/progress reports.
Support continuous improvement of design quality, consistency, and compliance across facilities projects.
Plan, coordinate, and oversee commissioning and system acceptance testing to ensure compliance with design intent, performance requirements, and operational readiness.
Perform other related duties as assigned.
Qualifications
Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or similar discipline with minimum of 9 years of related experience; or a Master's degree in similar discipline with a minimum of 7 years of related experience, or a PhD in similar disciplines with a minimum of 5 years of related experience.
Must have QA/QC experience and design review of moderately complex building or facilities projects.
Demonstrated knowledge of electrical building systems, applicable codes, and industry best practices.
Ability to read, interpret, and evaluate construction drawings, specifications, and engineering calculations.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear technical documentation.
Demonstrated ability to work independently with efficiency and sound professional judgment.
Proficiency with Bluebeam; working knowledge of AutoCAD, Revit, and Microsoft Office applications.
Working knowledge of applicable federal, state, and local codes and regulations.
Preferred Skills
Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent professional registration.
