Senior Electrical Engineer

Help power the facilities behind the world's most advanced technology.

The chips that run modern life are made in some of the most complex facilities on earth. As a Senior Electrical Engineer in SSOE's Tool Install division, you'll lead the electrical design that brings advanced semiconductor facilities online for the world's leading high-tech companies. Your work will directly shape projects that set new industry standards. You'll lead design engineering from concept through detailed design. You'll own the quality, compliance, and innovation of the electrical side of every project. You won't be working alone in a silo. You'll sit at the table with in-house experts from every discipline, solving problems together in multi-discipline strategy sessions. That shared approach helps our team understand client needs more fully than traditional methods allow, and it lets us conceptualize, plan, and detail every part of a design as one team.

You'll also have the tools to do your best work. SSOE is a leader in adopting AI across our industry. From day one, you'll get responsible access to leading AI large language models, vibe-coding platforms, and advanced design software, plus the training and support to use them. That means less time on repetitive tasks and more time on the engineering challenges that drew you to this field. If you want to lead high-impact work at the cutting edge of technology, where you'll keep growing your skills and influence, this is your opportunity.

At SSOE, we don’t just talk about the future, we build it. As a leader in industry AI adoption, we empower our team to work smarter by providing responsible access to the industry leading AI Large Language Models, vibe-coding platforms, and securely integrating advanced tools into every role.
