Power Generation Design Engineer, Electrical & Mechanical

Skills

About the Role

You will help design and integrate generation plants and balance-of-plant systems for large AI data center campuses, spanning electrical and mechanical systems. You will establish technical requirements, assess vendor and EPC solutions, resolve design interfaces, and carry systems from concept through commissioning and validated operation. Travel is around 50%.

Requirements

• 8+ years of engineering experience in power generation, utilities, industrial systems, microgrids, oil and gas, or mission-critical infrastructure
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field
• Deep technical expertise in either electrical power systems or mechanical/process systems, with cross-discipline collaboration experience
• Experience evaluating OEM data, equipment performance, operating scenarios, failure modes, and maintenance requirements
• Experience carrying designs through construction, startup, commissioning, and operational validation
• Ability to communicate technical risks and tradeoffs clearly
• Travel: 50%

Responsibilities

• Develop and review generation-plant basis-of-design documents, design criteria, specifications, diagrams, calculations, and reference architectures
• Define and coordinate interfaces among generation equipment, substations, campus distribution, grid connections, fuel systems, cooling, controls, and data center loads
• Evaluate generation technologies and operating modes including grid-connected and islanded operation, synchronization, load sharing, black start, and restoration
• Lead or review discipline-specific electrical and mechanical engineering analyses
• Review OEM and EPC proposals, equipment ratings, performance data, failure modes, test plans, and maintenance strategies
• Translate data center load profiles into generation-system capacity, redundancy, performance, and control requirements
• Coordinate with cross-disciplinary engineering teams to resolve design and delivery interfaces
• Support procurement, factory acceptance testing, construction, startup, energization, commissioning, performance testing, and root-cause investigations
• Develop repeatable technical standards and reference designs
