- This is a generic job description used across multiple teams on the Power, Utilities & Infrastructure org chart; the hiring manager and specific team will be confirmed at the time of hire.
- This role provides technical and engineering analysis supporting the team's specific mission, whether that's commercial negotiations, load strategy, or substation and grid design.
What You'll be Doing (Responsibilities)
- Provide technical engineering analysis and design support aligned to the team's focus area (e.g., power supply agreements, AI/GPU load strategy, or substation and grid engineering).
- Support system studies (load flow, short-circuit, reliability) and related technical analysis as needed.
- Prepare technical documentation supporting negotiations, design decisions, or strategy recommendations.
- Partner with cross-functional teams (Legal, Finance, Development, Construction) on technical aspects of projects.
- Visit sites as needed to support commissioning, troubleshooting, and design clarifications.
- Support technical scope development for behind-the-meter, islanded, and grid-connected load strategies, including design oversight, constructability reviews, operability assessments, and commissioning readiness.
- As applicable to the team, support on-site power generation design (e.g., generator sets, electrical topology, protection and controls) and integration with UPS/BESS/microgrid controllers.
