Senior Electrical Engineer - Power Delivery & Generation

Senior Electrical Engineer — Power Delivery & Generation (MV/HV)

Location: West Palm Beach, FL

Travel: Up to ~50% (including international)

Tera Wulf is a pioneer in large-scale, sustainably powered digital infrastructure, developing and operating some of the most advanced data center campuses in North America to power the next wave of AI and high-performance computing. Powered predominantly by zero-carbon energy, our sites bring hundreds of megawatts of critical capacity online with speed and technical rigor. We are scaling rapidly to meet unprecedented demand for AI and HPC compute, building the foundational infrastructure that the future runs on.

Serving as the owner’s technical lead for the medium- and high-voltage power that feeds our data centers, this role is focused on extracting power from a site, generating it on-site where needed, and delivering it to the data center to support fast go-to-market execution. Scope runs upstream of the white space — utility interconnection, transmission and substation infrastructure, on-site generation, and the full MV/HV delivery chain up to the point of use — rather than the critical power equipment inside the building.

The engineer partners with development and acquisition teams during due diligence to assess and unlock power at prospective sites, owns design intent, directs external Engineers of Record (EORs) and design consultants, leads equipment procurement, and provides hands‑on field oversight through construction, commissioning, and energization. The mandate is speed to power: sequencing interconnection, generation, and delivery so that megawatts are available to the data center as early as possible.

This is a senior individual‑contributor role — a hands‑on technical expert who leads through engineering authority rather than direct reports. It calls for demonstrated experience making engineering decisions and overseeing this scope of work, backed by real field experience.

• Lead electrical engineering decisions for the power feeding the data center across MV (typically 1–35 kV) and HV/transmission (35 kV and above) systems, including utility interconnection, transmission, substations, switch gear, transformers, and delivery topology up to the point of use.
• Develop and review single‑line diagrams, design basis documents, equipment specifications, and key design deliverables for code compliance, constructability, and reliability.
• Direct and oversee Engineers of Record (EORs) and third‑party design firms; review and approve their work, resolve technical gaps, and hold partners accountable to schedule and quality.
• Own equipment procurement for the power delivery and generation chain: write technical specifications, evaluate vendor proposals, and select long‑lead equipment (power transformers, MV/HV switch gear, generators, protective relays) to protect the critical path to energization.
• Attend Factory Acceptance Tests (FATs), factory tours, and equipment inspections to verify quality, performance, and compliance before shipment — including periodic overseas travel for certain long‑lead electrical equipment.
• Support utility interconnection process & coordination.
• Drive speed to power: own the power delivery critical path, sequence interconnection, on‑site generation, and delivery infrastructure — including bridging and interim power strategies — and manage milestones, long‑lead procurement timing, and project‑controls coordination to make megawatts available to the data center as early as possible and accelerate go‑to‑market.
• Partner with development and acquisition teams during due diligence on prospective sites and properties — assessing power availability, interconnection feasibility, existing infrastructure, and brownfield or redevelopment reuse potential to inform acquisition decisions.
• Lead or review power system studies — load flow, short‑circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash, and transient/stability analysis — to validate delivery and generation design.
• Develop and evaluate on‑site and behind‑the‑meter power generation strategies — natural gas turbines and reciprocating engines, battery energy…
