Electrical Engineer, Power Generation

Responsibilities

• Define the reference architecture for on-site and supplemental power generation and distribution, balancing CAPEX/OPEX and reliability goals.
• Design and deliver temporary power and mobile substation solutions to energize facilities ahead of, or in parallel with, permanent utility infrastructure - including bridging power strategies that accelerate speed-to-power.
• Lead electrical design and integration of renewables power distribution (solar and wind) and BESS into campus MV systems, including collector systems, interconnection, and protection interfaces.
• Evaluate and adopt new power technologies (e.g., fuel cells, advanced battery storage, microgrid controllers) and develop the technical justification for major capital investments.
• Serve as a technical escalation point for on-site power availability or performance issues, driving root cause analysis and lessons learned across sites.
• Standardize design packages and operational procedures to ensure repeatable quality and minimize project timelines across the portfolio.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8+ years of experience in power systems, power generation, or power distribution engineering for grid-connected facilities.
• Experience providing temporary power and/or mobile substations to facilities - including generator farms, rental fleets, mobile transformers/switchgear, and bridging power schemes.
• Experience designing or integrating renewables power distribution (solar and/or wind), including collector systems and interconnection to MV distribution.
• Strong working knowledge of MV distribution equipment: transformers, switchgear, generators, and associated protection and controls.
• Proficiency performing or reviewing power system studies (load flow, short circuit, coordination, arc flash).

Nice-to-Haves

• Professional Engineer (PE) license.
• Experience with utility and on-site power generation design and commissioning for data center supplemental power.
• Experience with BESS, fuel cells, microgrid controllers, and grid support functions (demand response, voltage/frequency support).
• Familiarity with ISO/RTO interconnection and NERC/FERC requirements (ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO), including large-load ride-through solutions (STATCOM, synchronous condensers, BESS).

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity).
• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
• The base salary range for this position is $200,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
