The ideal candidate will have a proven ability to assess feasibility, lead complex design efforts, and eventually scale systems to support large-scale power plants (e.g., 29MW using distributed generation).

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of power distribution systems, including switchgear, transformers, protection relays, and circuit breakers.
• Oversee the creation and review of single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, and Bill of Materials (BOMs).
• Collaborate with vendors, EPCs, and contractors to ensure proper commissioning, functional acceptance testing (FAT), and manufacturing testing.
• Evaluate and qualify subcontractors for design and construction of power distribution interconnections.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers, especially in power system design fundamentals.
• Interface with customers to understand load requirements and design systems that safely and efficiently feed those loads.
• Support interconnect applications and coordinate with electrical and gas utilities.
• Lead efforts to design and build scalable power plants using modular generator systems.
• Ensure compliance with UL 2200, NFPA 70, and other relevant codes and standards.
• Troubleshoot and provide field support for deployed systems, including signal testing and functional validation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with design engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, and inspection teams.
• Assist in building CAPEX budgets and support project management efforts.
• Participate in safety meetings and ensure adherence to all safety policies and procedures.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in power systems engineering, with a focus on three-phase AC power, switch-mode converters, and electrical enclosure design.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD Electrical and electrical test equipment.
• Strong understanding of generator systems, including output characteristics and connection box configurations.
• Experience designing systems for data centers and other critical infrastructure.
• Ability to interpret vendor documentation and translate it into actionable design plans.
• Excellent interpersonal, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• Proven leadership and supervisory capabilities.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.
• Ability to pass a drug screening.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with UL 2200 compliance.
• Familiarity with data center backup systems and distributed generation.
• Hands-on experience with commissioning, FAT, and field troubleshooting.
• Ability to teach and mentor others in power system design, including interpreting and creating single-line diagrams.
• Experience designing scalable power plants using modular generator units.
