Job Description:

The Power Generation Controls Design Engineer is responsible for leading and coordinating activities related to generator controls, microgrid control systems, MV switchgear controls, Utility interconnection substation controls and associated integration with mission-critical data center environment. This role shall ensure that development of Basis of Design (BoD), controls functional specifications, design packages—spanning controls, electrical, communications, protection, and sequencing—are consistent, technically sound, and aligned across multiple stakeholders. The engineer shall work closely with the Owner’s Engineer (OE), design engineers, OEMs, and cross-functional data center teams to drive design clarity, resolve conflicts, ensure constructibility, and maintain uniform controls standards across projects.

Job Responsibility:

  • Serve as the primary technical coordinator for all BTM generation controls during the design phase of data center projects
  • Align design deliverables from the OE, EPC firms, consultants, and OEMs to ensure cohesive system architecture
  • Coordinate such things as requirements for validating generator controls and sequencing, paralleling logic, load-shed schemes, MV switchgear control philosophy, microgrid controller interactions, and communications networks
  • Manage design interface points between such things as: Generators & MV switchgear
  • PLCs & supervisory control (SCADA/EPMS/BMS)
  • Utility interconnection & protection systems
  • Microgrid controllers & DER assets, e.g. BESS, PV, Fuel Cells
  • Develop standardized documents and maintain and enforce corporate controls standards, templates, and design guidelines across projects
  • Review and refine control narratives, hardware selections, BoD, SOO, I/O lists, one-lines, network diagrams
  • Ensure designs meet uptime, redundancy, and black-start requirements for large-scale data centers
  • Act as the primary liaison between internal and external stakeholders particularly the OE and, cross-functional data center teams facilitating alignment on design intent, requirements, and technical decisions
  • Coordinate design review cycles, resolve discrepancies, and lead technical deep-dives with electrical engineering, operations, construction, and commissioning teams
  • Engage OEMs, i.e. generator, switchgear, PLC, relay manufacturers, to clarify design requirements and coordinate custom controls integrations
  • Identify design gaps, interface conflicts, or incompatible assumptions early in the design cycle and drive resolution
  • Develop mitigation strategies for risks associated with generator controls, EPMS/BMS integration, and microgrid or parallel operation schemes
  • Provide engineering judgment to guide design tradeoffs affecting reliability, safety, or operational performance
  • Interface with commissioning teams to ensure design packages support testability and system verification during FAT/SAT/IST
  • Ensure design outputs reflect future operational workflows and maintenance considerations

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, controls, or a directly related discipline
  • 7-10 years of verifiable experience with generator controls, microgrids, or mission-critical electrical systems
  • Deep familiarity with data center electrical topologies: MV distribution, UPS/STS systems, EPMS/BMS integration
  • Strong understanding of controls platforms such as Emerson, Foxboro, Allen-Bradley, Schneider, SEL RTAC, Woodward, ComAp and communication protocols like Modbus, DNP3, OPC UA, GOOSE, IEC 61850
  • Experience coordinating design between multiple engineering disciplines and external stakeholders
  • Technical writing and design review skills
  • Ability to work fully remote with periodic travel for design workshops or key project milestones
  • Experience collaborating directly with Owner’s Engineer organizations
  • EIT or other qualification as a minimum required

Nice to have:

  • Hyperscale data center experience (design, engineering, or commissioning)
  • Background in microgrid controls, BESS, and inverter-based power systems
  • Professional Engineer (PE) or equivalent senior-level technical credentials
What we offer:
  • Team building and educational opportunities
  • Generous benefits package including robust health benefits and a 401(k) company contribution
