Senior Electrical Design Engineer

Electrical Design Engineer

The Mission

We're building one of the first off grid power plants for data centers, powered entirely by renewable technologies. We believe AI must be built in the US for the benefit of all people, and that means power has to be fast, clean, and scalable. We are singularly focused on delivering gigawatt scale power faster than anyone else, by rethinking every layer of the stack, from racking systems to power electronics to dispatch algorithms to on site construction.

This is your chance to leave your mark on civilization scale energy infrastructure.

About the Role

We build fully islanded, behind the meter microgrids (solar, battery storage, and gas peakers) that power AI data centers in West Texas, at record speed. As Electrical Design Engineer, you'll own the electrical design documentation that turns architecture into a buildable plant, including single line and three line diagrams, wiring schedules, and system schematics for islanded, behind the meter microgrids.

You'll size the system, conductors, OCPD, disconnects, and switchgear across MV, LV, and DC collection, and produce the technical inputs and basis of design that the Engineer of Record (EOR) stamps against. You'll work day to day under the Director of Power Systems Engineering, translating system architecture into the drawing set that procurement, the EOR, and the field all build from.

A quick scope note: we integrate utility scale equipment and run an external Engineer of Record as our engineering of record agent. You own the design basis, the drawing set, and design quality and turnaround, and you coordinate the EOR's review and stamp; you are not the project's stamping engineer of record. You also won't be laying out controls logic, which sits with the controls engineer; you produce the electrical design those controls integrate into.

What You'll Do

• Create and maintain electrical single line and three line diagrams, wiring schedules, and system schematics for islanded, behind the meter microgrids
• Size conductors, OCPD, disconnects, and switchgear across MV/LV and DC collection in compliance with NEC, UL 1741-SB, UL 9540, and NFPA 855
• Produce the basis of design and technical inputs the Engineer of Record requires, and coordinate the EOR's review and stamp
• Develop equipment layouts and DC collection designs (string/harness, combiner, inverter skid, MV collector) for ground mount PV plus battery storage
• Maintain the drawing set through revisions from design through IFC, keeping procurement, the EOR, and field execution working from one source of truth
• Support OEM technical evaluation (inverter skids, battery storage, MV switchgear) with the electrical inputs needed for selection and PO
• Track FEOC compliant equipment options where ITC eligibility is at stake

What You Bring

• BSEE, power systems, or related STEM discipline
• 3+ years in utility scale solar, battery storage, or power systems design, with hands on ownership of SLDs/three lines and equipment sizing
• Proficiency in electrical CAD (AutoCAD Electrical or similar) and a power system study tool (SKM, ETAP, CYME, or similar)
• Strong understanding of NEC, NESC, and IEEE standards; working knowledge of UL 1741-SB, UL 9540/9540A, and NFPA 855 for PV and energy storage integration
• Conductor, OCPD, disconnect, and switchgear sizing across DC, LV, and MV (34.5 kV class)
• Experience producing basis of design and working to or with an Engineer of Record
• Extreme attention to detail with a bias for speed and rapid iteration

Nice to Have

• Direct ground mount utility scale PV plus battery storage design experience
• MV collector, MV switchgear, and substation adjacent design exposure (up to 500kV)
• Islanded, off grid, or behind the meter microgrid experience
• Familiarity with grid forming vs grid following inverter architecture at the system level
• ERCOT / Texas project experience
• High velocity, detail rigorous engineering culture background (comparable to leading energy or aerospace companies)
