Explore exciting and specialized low voltage power engineer, integration jobs, a critical role at the intersection of electrical engineering and complex system implementation. Professionals in this field are responsible for the design, development, and seamless integration of low voltage electrical power distribution and control systems, typically operating below 1000 volts. These systems are fundamental to the operation of advanced technologies in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, industrial automation, telecommunications, and smart infrastructure. The core mission is to ensure reliable, efficient, and safe power delivery to essential subsystems and components. A Low Voltage Power Engineer specializing in Integration typically engages in a systems-engineering lifecycle. Common responsibilities include developing and validating system and equipment-level requirements to meet performance and safety standards. They create crucial engineering deliverables such as interface control documents (ICDs), wiring diagrams, test plans, and certification reports. A significant part of the role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams—including mechanical design, software, safety, and testing—to define physical and functional interfaces and ensure the power system harmonizes with the overall product architecture. Engineers in these jobs also lead integration testing, troubleshooting issues in lab environments or prototype units, and supporting verification and validation activities through to final certification. Typical skills and requirements for these positions are robust. A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a closely related field is standard, with many roles valuing experience in industry-specific certification processes (like FAA, automotive, or industrial standards). Key technical proficiencies include a deep understanding of DC power distribution, circuit protection, wiring, connectors, and load analysis. Familiarity with relevant standards and engineering guidelines is essential. Engineers must also possess strong analytical skills for conducting trade studies, assessing supplier capabilities, and supporting safety analyses such as FMEA. Soft skills like excellent communication, teamwork, and a proactive problem-solving attitude are vital for success in these collaborative integration jobs. For those passionate about hands-on technical work that bridges design and real-world functionality, low voltage power integration engineering offers a dynamic and impactful career path with a variety of opportunities across cutting-edge industries.
