> Senior Electrical Engineer to own architecture, standardization, and delivery of on-site and supplemental power across data center campuses, including renewables, BESS, and temporary/mobile power solutions. Requires 8+ years in power systems engineering and experience with MV distribution and renewables integration.

## Job Description

## 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.
