As a Principal Electrical Engineer specializing in protection and controls, you will join a leading team responsible for the technical oversight of large-scale data center infrastructure, including on-site generation, high-voltage substations, energy storage systems, and medium-voltage/low-voltage distribution networks. Your primary duties include establishing and maintaining protection standards, defining the protection philosophy, reviewing design packages, validating relay settings, and conducting post-event analysis to enhance system reliability. You will also lead troubleshooting efforts and collaborate with operations teams to ensure consistent implementation across projects. Ideal candidates possess a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, 10–15 years of relevant experience, and expertise in IEEE standards and utility interconnection practices.
