As part of the Engineering team, the Sr. Electrical Engineer – Data Center Power Generation will provide technical leadership for the design, integration, and delivery of electrical infrastructure supporting hyperscale data centers, with a primary focus on onsite power generation utilizing gas turbines and gas engines. The role will support all phases of project development, including concept design, engineering, permitting, construction, commissioning, and operations, ensuring electrical systems achieve the highest standards of reliability, scalability, efficiency, and performance for mission-critical data center applications.

• 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.

• 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,…
