About The Position

Apply system‑integration design considerations and trade‑offs—including cost, safety, reliability, maintainability, constructability/modularity, interoperability, and operational behavior—to support design and deployment of DC power system solutions. Evaluate product and system interoperability by reviewing interface documentation, protection & controls interactions, thermal and mechanical constraints, and installation requirements to ensure cohesive system performance. Provide technical guidance on thermal behavior, ampacity considerations, product spacing, high‑density installation implications, and interconnection methods relevant to DC system integration. Support integration events, lab evaluations, and system readiness reviews by identifying cross‑product performance risks, validating expected interactions, and collaborating with responsible engineering teams to resolve issues. Coordinate cross‑functional alignment among product lines, applications engineering, quality, supply chain, and field deployment teams to promote predictable, reliable system operation. Support pilot deployments, customer trials, and co‑innovation efforts by assisting in system‑level sequencing, installation planning, test execution, and validation of real‑world interoperability. Develop and maintain system‑integration guidelines, best practices, lessons learned, and deployment recommendations to strengthen repeatability and reduce risk across programs. Participate in early‑phase design reviews to provide integration insight and field‑informed considerations, complementing rather than defining architectural or modeling decisions owned by higher‑level engineering roles.

Requirements

• Minimum 8 years of experience in system integration, system engineering, field engineering, or multi‑product system deployment within power systems, datacenters, or industrial applications
• Demonstrated experience supporting customer‑facing technical engagements—including requirements clarification, RFP technical responses, engineering design reviews, or pilot deployment support
• Strong working knowledge of DC distribution systems, protection & controls interaction, thermal/ampacity considerations, installation constraints, and safety requirements
• Understanding of codes and standards relevant to high‑power electrical installations (NEC, UL, IEEE, IEC)
• Ability to interpret electrical one‑lines, mechanical/thermal constraints, and multi‑product system interfaces
• Bachelors degree from an accredited institution in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Power Systems, or related technical field.

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Power Systems, Controls, or related discipline
• Experience working on hyperscale datacenter or AI‑compute power architectures
• Background in system integration for high‑power DC systems or converter‑dominated architectures
• Familiarity with system‑level modeling outputs (Simulink/Simscape, Modelica, MBSE artifacts) and the ability to interpret—not create or govern—architecture or fidelity strategies
• Experience supporting field deployments, commissioning activities, or multi‑product pilot integrations
• Knowledge of thermal modeling considerations, high‑ampacity DC interconnections, and high‑power safety engineering
