TL;DR · Microgrid/Controls Lead

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure team seeks a Microgrid/Controls Lead to design and develop resilient microgrid and control systems for mission-critical data center power systems, ensuring stable operation across grid-connected, islanded, and transition modes. This role involves translating operational objectives into real-time control behavior, defining system-level control philosophy, and leading detailed controls architecture including EMS functional requirements, microgrid controller logic, and inverter control tuning. The ideal candidate has 8-12 years of experience with microgrids for large campuses or critical facilities, deep knowledge of inverter-based resources, and expertise in power quality standards like IEEE 2800 and IEEE 1547/2030. Strong collaboration skills are essential to ensure interoperability and compliance across multi-vendor environments.

What you'll do

  • Define and drive the microgrid controls strategy for mission-critical data center power systems.
  • Translate operational objectives into real-time control behavior, including dispatch priorities and resource scheduling.
  • Design grid-forming and grid-following strategies to ensure stable transitions between operating states.
  • Lead detailed controls architecture integration with EMS, microgrid controllers, and inverter controls.
  • Define measurable performance requirements for power quality and availability; create acceptance criteria and test plans.
  • Support commissioning of inverters, EMS, and integrated control systems; troubleshoot instability issues.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience designing and deploying microgrids for large campuses or critical facilities.
  • Deep expertise in integrating inverter-based resources like batteries and fuel cells with thermal generation systems.
  • Extensive knowledge of power quality, protection concepts, and standards such as IEEE 2800 and IEEE 1547/2030.
  • Proven experience commissioning EMS and microgrid controllers for both islanded and grid-tied operations.
  • Strong ability to collaborate with OEMs, integrators, EPCs, and utilities to ensure interoperability and compliance.
