Description
The ideal candidate has strong power-systems engineering experience, particularly in utility interconnection, substations, energy storage, on-site generation, and large-load infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
Power Systems Engineering
* Develop and assess power-system architectures for utility supply, substations, energy storage, load management, on-site generation, and campus electrical interfaces.
* Produce technical requirements, design criteria, calculations, specifications, and engineering recommendations for site-specific and repeatable fleet solutions.
* Apply established engineering standards and contribute to the development of global design philosophies, modeling methods, technical acceptance criteria, and validation practices.
* Identify technical risks, constraints, and opportunities affecting capacity, schedule, resiliency, operability, and future campus expansion.
* Translate complex grid and power-system issues into clear technical recommendations for project and business stakeholders.
Utility Interconnection and Grid Engineering
* Perform technical evaluations of utility capacity, transmission and distribution infrastructure, substations, reliability, power quality, fault duty, and expansion requirements.
* Support engagement with utilities, transmission providers, ISOs/RTOs, developers, and engineering partners on interconnection and power-delivery solutions.
* Define and review requirements for interconnection facilities, substations, protection and controls, grounding, and campus electrical interfaces.
* Evaluate alternatives that may accelerate energization, reduce delivery risk, or unlock additional capacity.
* Provide technical analyses and engineering support to Energy Contracting during utility negotiations and commercial discussions.
Early Site Power Engineering
* Conduct power-system due diligence for prospective data-center sites.
* Develop conceptual power architectures and compare utility and behind-the-meter alternatives during site selection and early development.
* Assess interconnection complexity, infrastructure lead times, system reliability, power quality, and long-term expansion potential.
* Partner with Real Estate, Site Development, Capacity Planning, and Energy Contracting to incorporate power feasibility into site and investment decisions.
Energy Storage, Load Management, and On-Site Generation
* Develop engineering analyses and technical requirements for battery energy storage systems, including sizing, controls, protection, operating modes, safety, degradation, and lifecycle performance.
* Evaluate BESS use cases including resiliency, grid support, load management, transient response, and capacity optimization.
* Analyze load-curtailment, demand-response, flexible-load, ramp-rate-management, and peak-reduction opportunities with utilities.
* Develop and assess architectures coordinating utility supply, data-center load, BESS, UPS systems, and on-site generation.
* Support engineering of natural-gas generation, fuel cells, microgrids, renewable generation, and emerging power technologies.
* Evaluate generation configuration, synchronization, protection, controls, grounding, black-start capability, islanding, fuel supply, emissions constraints, and maintainability.
Modeling, Analysis, Testing, and Validation
* Perform or coordinate load-flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, harmonic, transient, dynamic stability, grounding, and arc-flash studies.
* Use PSCAD, ETAP, SKM, EMTP, or comparable tools to model interactions among utility systems, generation, BESS, UPS technologies, and dynamic data-center loads.
* Develop models and analysis methods that
