About the role
Responsibilities
Design and engineer electrical systems for on-site power generation, high-voltage transmission, and large-scale battery energy storage supporting AI superclusters.
Develop single-line diagrams, protection & control schematics, relay settings, and interconnection designs.
Perform detailed power system studies (load flow, short circuit, arc flash, transient stability, harmonics) using ETAP, PSS/E, or equivalent tools.
Integrate electrical systems with generators, battery storage, transmission infrastructure, and data center loads.
Ensure compliance with relevant standards (NERC, ERCOT, IEEE, NEC, NFPA, UL) and support permitting and utility coordination.
Support equipment specification, vendor selection, factory testing, site commissioning, and energization.
Conduct failure mode analysis (FMEA), root cause investigations, and reliability modeling to achieve extreme uptime targets.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams on new facility builds, capacity expansions, and continuous improvement of power standards.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology.
Preferred Skills and Experience
Experience in Battery Storage: BESS, inverters/PCS, BMS integration, NFPA 855.
Experience in Power Transmission: High-voltage substations, transmission lines, grid interconnection (ERCOT).
