TL;DR · Senior Director, Power Systems Engineering

The Senior Director, Power Systems Engineering – OCI Data Center Infrastructure leads a global organization focused on developing technical strategies for delivering power to data center sites. This role serves as the senior technical authority for utility-facing and campus-level systems, managing everything from early site due diligence and grid integration to the engineering of battery energy storage systems, on-site generation, and load management solutions. The position involves building a team of engineers to develop scalable infrastructure strategies that address complex grid challenges and AI workload requirements. Key technical tasks include performing load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, and transient stability analyses using tools like PSCAD, ETAP, SKM, or EMTP. The role also oversees first-of-a-kind engineering, ensuring new power technologies are validated through modeling and testing before being deployed at scale across the global infrastructure fleet.

What you'll do

  • Build and lead a global Power Systems Engineering organization to support AI and cloud infrastructure requirements.
  • Serve as the senior technical authority for utility-facing systems, including transmission, substations, and grid integration.
  • Conduct technical due diligence on prospective sites to assess power feasibility, capacity, and delivery risks.
  • Develop engineering strategies for battery energy storage systems (BESS) and other energy-storage technologies.
  • Design architectures for on-site power generation using natural gas, fuel cells, microgrids, and renewable sources.
  • Perform advanced modeling and analysis for load flow, protection coordination, and dynamic stability of data center loads.
  • Establish validation protocols and testing requirements for first-of-a-kind (FOAK) technologies before large-scale deployment.
  • Influence OEM product roadmaps and establish technical standards to simplify and standardize global power architectures.

What we're looking for

  • Provide technical analysis, system architecture, and engineering judgment for utility-facing and campus-level power systems.
  • Develop scalable solutions for transmission, substations, energy storage, load management, and grid integration.
  • Lead the engineering strategy for battery energy storage systems (BESS) and other energy-storage technologies.
  • Own the engineering strategy and technical requirements for on-site power generation including microgrids and fuel cells.
  • Perform advanced modeling using platforms such as PSCAD, ETAP, SKM, or EMTP to analyze load flow, short-circuit, and protection coordination.
  • Develop First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) qualification plans and technical validation strategies for new power system architectures.
  • Establish engineering standards, design philosophies, and technical acceptance criteria for global power infrastructure.
  • Build and lead a global team of power systems engineers to solve complex grid and generation challenges.
