Relevant experience and expertise in electrical power simulation software - e.g., ETAP, EMTP, PSSE, PSCAD, EasyPower, Powerworld, Matlab Simulink etc
  • Track record of troubleshooting and root cause isolation in complex electrical systems
  • Experience leading electrical component/equipment deployment, testing, and failure analysis across multiple complex hardware programs
  • Solid troubleshooting and analytical skills
  • Experience presenting technical findings and recommendations to cross-functional engineering and leadership audiences

Nice to have

  • Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
  • Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
  • Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
  • MS/Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, or a closely related field
  • Expertise in HVDC electrical design, system modeling, and safety/transient studies for high-power IT racks
  • Working knowledge of FERC/NERC interconnection requirements for large load interconnections
  • Experience in designing data centers served with behind-the-meter (BTM) or islanded onsite generation with integrated inverter-based technologies such as battery energy storage systems (BESS), super-capacitors, and other technologies
  • Demonstrated ability to be a proactive driver and owner of major, long-term power infrastructure architectural roadmaps for the organization
  • Experience defining strategic vision and setting the technical strategy for future power infrastructures
