Power Systems Engineer

** Job Description*
* As a Power Systems Architect (Owner's Engineer Lead), you will own the end-to-end architectural vision, systems strategy, and technical standards for electrical power delivery from grid through onsite generation to data center. Operating at a principal architect/VP-equivalent individual contributor level, you will serve as the final technical authority for high-voltage transmission, substations, interconnection, and site power integration across our global infrastructure portfolio.

This role sets the technical and compliance direction, oversees execution, and ensures our design philosophy delivers unmatched performance, resiliency, and cost efficiency-without direct people management responsibility.

** Skills & Experience*
* The successful candidate will have a history of driving technical strategy, functional direction, and architecture for large-scale data center infrastructure, engineering systems, and global standards. This person will have demonstrated strategic-level engineering work beyond assigned requirements or site-level execution, with evidence of creating or influencing standards that improved consistency, scalability, reliability, cost, or operational performance across multiple sites or regions. This position requires:

+ 15+ years of progressive experience in power systems engineering, transmission and distribution, or utility-scale generation.

+ Track record of successful design and delivery of projects at ≥230 kV.

+ Expertise with HV/MV substations (AIS/GIS: 13.8kV-345kV+), system-level protection, and utility interconnect.

+ Extensive experience with power system simulation and analysis tools (e.g., PSCAD, ETAP, PSS/E, DigSILENT, ASPEN).

+ Deep understanding of utility codes, standards, and best practices in interconnection and compliance.

+ Experience integrating generation, substation, BESS, and microgrid for mission critical (data centers, campuses, industrial) power delivery.

+ Professional Engineer (PE) license strongly preferred.

+ Exceptional ability to influence cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders.

** Responsibilities*
* ** Key Responsibilities*
* ** Power Systems Strategy & Architecture*
* + Define, document, and continually refine system-level architectures governing grid interconnection, substations (AIS/GIS), generation, BESS, and power delivery to mission critical facilities.

+ Set and approve operating philosophies, including grid dependency, onsite generation, export capability, and black-start/islanding readiness.

+ Own architectural decisions across all high, medium, and low voltage systems, including single-line diagrams and revision control.

** Utility Engagement & Grid Interconnection*
* + Serve as the principal technical interface with utilities, RTOs/ISOs, and regulatory bodies for all interconnection and compliance matters.

+ Ensure deliverables meet all regional grid codes, interconnection agreements, and utility practices.

+ Lead and approve all major system engineering studies (load flow, short-circuit, harmonics, protection, dynamic performance).

** System Quality, Testing, & Compliance*
* + Define and enforce power quality, resiliency, reliability and redundancy standards (N/2N/N+1) across the program.

+ Own factory and site acceptance testing at the integrated, system level. Final signoff on readiness for energization and operation.

+ Chair architectural design reviews; resolve system-level tradeoffs between generation, substations, storage, and controls.

** Cross-Functional Leadership & Delivery*
* + Provide expert guidance from conceptual design through commissioning, ensuring technical excellence and code compliance.

+ Collaborate with engineering, construction, commissioning, and operations teams to ensure system deliverability, maintainability, and lifecycle cost efficiency.

+ Lead efforts in root-cause analysis, technical troubleshooting, and corrective action planning post-commissioning.
