Sr. Electrical Engineer
- Power Generation

As part of the Engineering team, the Sr.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and deliver electrical systems for hyperscale data centers, including medium- and low-voltage power distribution, onsite power generation systems, backup power, emergency systems, and utility interconnections.
  • Lead the electrical design and integration of onsite generation solutions for data centers, including gas turbine, gas engine, microgrid, and hybrid energy systems.
  • Provide electrical design oversight throughout the full data center lifecycle, from early concept through commissioning, ensuring generation, distribution, and backup power systems meet performance, reliability, availability, and energy-efficiency goals.
  • Review and optimize onsite power generation system designs, including generator step-up transformers, medium-voltage distribution, protection and controls, synchronization systems, load sharing, black start capabilities, and utility interconnections.
  • Work with data center clients to develop power strategies that balance reliability, scalability, construction schedules, sustainability goals, capex, and opex, with a particular focus on onsite generation and energy resilience.
  • Support the evaluation and selection of gas turbines, gas engines, generators, switch gear, transformers, protection systems, and associated balance-of-plant equipment.
  • Provide technical leadership for power generation studies including load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, transient stability, reactive power, and grid interconnection studies.
  • Support field engineering, startup, commissioning, performance testing, and operational readiness of onsite generation facilities and associated electrical infrastructure.
  • Lead technical due diligence, evaluation, and selection of gas turbines, gas engines, and associated balance-of-plant equipment, including assessment of performance, reliability, availability, emissions compliance, maintainability, vendor capabilities, lifecycle costs, and suitability for hyperscale data center applications.
Requirements
  • Minimum of 8 years of professional experience in Electrical Engineering for data centers, power generation facilities, utility-scale energy projects, or other mission-critical infrastructure.
  • Experience in industrial or commercial engineering in mission-critical facilities, including data centers, gas turbine power plants, gas engine power plants, microgrids, and distributed energy systems.
  • Strong understanding of power generation systems including gas turbines, gas engines, generators, generator protection, synchronization, medium-voltage distribution, and utility interconnection requirements.
  • Experience designing and integrating onsite power generation solutions for data centers, including backup power systems, microgrids, renewable generation, and energy storage.
  • Knowledge of electrical systems associated with power generation facilities, including generator step-up transformers, switchyards, substations, protection and control systems, SCADA, and telecommunications.
  • Experience with data center electrical infrastructure and power architectures, including utility-connected and islanded generation configurations designed to support high-availability operations.
  • Experienced in designing data center electrical buildings, onsite generation facilities, renewable energy systems, microgrids, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), and energy storage systems.
  • Strong understanding of reliability and redundancy strategies for data centers utilizing onsite generation, including N+1, 2N, and distributed generation architectures
  • The position requires up to 20% domestic and international travels.
  • Location
    - Denver, Texas, or Remote
  • Base Pay -$140000- $165000
  • The pay range mentioned above is a guideline. We tailor each offer based on your unique skills, experience, location, and market benchmarks—while ensuring internal parity across our teams.
