A bit about us:
Our client is an emerging leader in next-generation energy infrastructure, developing one of the world’s largest private power ecosystems to support advanced computing and critical national infrastructure. The organization is at the forefront of designing and building gigawatt-scale power systems that integrate nuclear generation, combined-cycle natural gas, utility grid power, solar, and battery energy storage — all engineered to deliver highly redundant, reliable, and efficient electricity at unprecedented scale.
Operating at the intersection of energy, advanced computing, and sustainability, the company partners with top-tier technology, engineering, and industrial leaders to shape the future of how power is produced, coordinated, and optimized for large-scale applications — including next-generation artificial intelligence workloads. The executive leadership includes seasoned energy and engineering professionals with deep experience in nuclear licensing and power system design
Why join us?
- Mission-Driven Innovation — Contribute to groundbreaking work at the nexus of advanced power engineering, grid modernization, and AI-grade infrastructure.
- Technical Depth & Autonomy — Lead engineering design, algorithm development, and systems optimization across multi-modal power assets including solar, gas turbines, nuclear, and grid integration.
- Executive Leadership Exposure — Work directly with the company’s President/Chief Nuclear Engineer and senior leadership to shape engineering standards, architecture, and future technology strategy.
- National & Industry Impact — Help build resilient, redundant power systems that are critical to energy security and next-generation computing ecosystems.
- Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration — Partner with internal engineering teams, external technology partners, and regulatory bodies to design and deliver scalable, high-complexity solutions across a Hyper Grid-scale campus.
Role Overview
The Chief Power Engineer will serve as the senior technical leader responsible for the engineering strategy, design, and optimization of integrated power systems across the organization’s multi-technology energy campus. This role is ideal for a visionary engineer with a Ph.D. in Power Systems, Electrical Engineering, Energy Engineering, or related discipline, and a strong track record in grid technology, power generation optimization, and advanced engineering methodologies.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & Strategy
Define and lead the power engineering roadmap for large-scale, integrated energy systems spanning renewable, thermal, nuclear, and grid-connected assets.
Develop and validate advanced algorithms and analytical frameworks for system design, dynamic load balancing, and performance optimization.
Ensure engineering excellence in simulations, modeling, and technical analysis of electric grid performance, stability, and redundancy.
Grid Integration & Smart Grid Engineering
Lead architecture and engineering development for smart grid technologies, including real-time control systems, adaptive load dispatch algorithms, and predictive grid analytics.
Oversee integration of heterogeneous power sources (solar, gas turbines, nuclear) with utility grid and behind-the-meter systems to achieve seamless interoperability and resilience.
Drive innovation in grid automation, distributed energy resource (DER) coordination, and energy storage optimization.
Cross-Functional Collaboration & Execution
Partner closely with nuclear engineering, systems engineering, and project execution teams to align power architecture with regulatory requirements, licensing milestones, and project delivery timelines.
Mentor and develop a team of power engineers, analysts, and technical specialists; influence recruitment of top engineering talent.
