Electrical Engineer, Protection and Controls, R&D
Electrical Engineer responsible for designing, setting, and commissioning protection and controls schemes for high-power campus infrastructure supporting AI compute. Requires hands-on experience with MV/HV relay coordination, SEL platforms, field commissioning, and event analysis.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Engineer protection and controls for campus power: relaying schemes from generation through distribution.
- Own the settings: coordination studies and relay files developed, verified, and configuration-managed.
- Design the P&C architecture: relays, communications, and SCADA integration per the reference design.
- Support commissioning: settings loaded, functions tested, and misoperations root-caused.
Requirements
- Experience in protection engineering: relay settings and coordination for MV and HV systems.
- Developed settings for SEL or equivalent platforms hands-on.
- Commissioned protection schemes in the field.
- Investigated relay operations and found the truth in the event records.
- Settings files managed like the safety-critical code they are.
Nice-to-Haves
- Generator protection.
- IEC 61850 and communications-assisted schemes.
- NERC PRC exposure.
- Arc-flash mitigation schemes.
