TL;DR · Power Systems Engineer

As a Power Systems Architect at the principal architect/VP-equivalent level, you will lead the end-to-end architectural vision and technical standards for electrical power delivery in global data center infrastructure, focusing on high-voltage transmission, substations, interconnection, and site power integration. Your responsibilities include setting technical direction, overseeing execution, and ensuring design philosophy delivers unmatched performance, resiliency, and cost efficiency. You will leverage expertise with HV/MV substations, system-level protection, and utility codes to drive strategic engineering work that influences global standards. Key tasks involve defining system architectures, engaging with utilities for compliance, leading major engineering studies, and enforcing power quality standards. This role demands extensive experience in power systems simulation tools like PSCAD and ETAP, as well as a proven track record of successful project delivery at ≥230 kV levels.

What you'll do

  • Define and document system-level architectures for grid interconnection, substations, generation, and power delivery to mission-critical facilities.
  • Serve as the principal technical interface with utilities and regulatory bodies for all interconnection and compliance matters.
  • Lead and approve major system engineering studies including load flow, short-circuit analysis, and protection studies.
  • Define and enforce power quality, resiliency, and redundancy standards across the program.
  • Chair architectural design reviews to resolve tradeoffs between generation, substations, storage, and controls.
  • Provide expert guidance from conceptual design through commissioning to ensure technical excellence and code compliance.

What we're looking for

  • Over 15 years of experience in power systems engineering, transmission and distribution, or utility-scale generation.
  • Track record of successful design and delivery of projects at ≥230 kV voltage levels.
  • Expertise with HV/MV substations (AIS/GIS: 13.8kV–345kV+), system-level protection, and utility interconnect standards.
  • Extensive experience using power system simulation and analysis tools such as PSCAD, ETAP, PSS/E, DigSILENT, ASPEN.
  • Deep understanding of utility codes, standards, and best practices for interconnection and compliance.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred; exceptional ability to influence cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders.
