We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Systems Engineer & Engineering Team Lead to define our technical foundation, architect our next-generation power solutions, and lead our multi-disciplinary engineering design team.
In this pivotal role, you will own the end-to-end systems engineering lifecycle—bridging the gap between product management requirements and physical engineering execution. You will drive the architecture of our multi-MW modular infrastructure, up to Medium Voltage (MV), ensuring our modular solutions are safe, highly resilient, and optimized for rapid deployment.
Technical Leadership & Team Management- Lead a Multidisciplinary Team:
Direct, mentor, and build a high-performing design team consisting of electrical, mechanical, and controls/software engineers. - Engineering Governance:
Establish robust engineering workflows, design standards, and enforce peer-review processes to ensure institutional quality and safety. - Resource & Project Coordination:
Collaborate with Project Management to assign engineering resources, manage design schedule, and achieve timely product deliverables.
- Translate high-level market requirements (MRDs) into rigorous, traceable system-level technical requirements, functional specifications, and interface control documents (ICDs).
- Oversee the architecture and development of robust 3-phase electrical power distribution systems. Define the electrical, mechanical, thermal, and logical boundaries and interfaces.
- Formulate comprehensive verification matrices, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) protocols, and field commissioning guidelines to validate system performance.
- Evaluate, specify, and select heavy electrical subsystems including high-capacity double-conversion UPS systems, static transfer switches (STS), switch gear, protective relays, and other critical subsystems.
- Engineering Studies:
Direct and review system modeling analyses, including short-circuit, protective relay coordination, arc flash, and harmonic mitigation studies. - DFX (Design for X):
Partner with manufacturing and service teams to optimize designs for manufacturability, transportability, and fast field installation. - Expert-level mastery of 3-phase AC/DC power systems, MV/LV power conversion topologies, utility protection schemes, and grounding methods.
- Systems Engineering:
Hands-on experience with systems engineering frameworks, specifically boundary diagrams, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and requirements traceability matrices. - Grid Connection:
Strong familiarity with utility interconnection requirements and power quality standards.
- Electrical Modeling:
Proficiency with industry-standard simulation software (e.g., Systems & Design Tools:
Familiarity with PLM software, requirements management tools, and CAD collaboration workflows (e.g., Solid Works/AutoCAD Electrical)).
