Electrical Engineer, Power Generation

Fluidstack•Austin, TX

3d•$200,000 - $250,000

About The Position

Fluidstack is seeking a senior Electrical Engineer to own the architecture, standardization, and delivery of on-site and supplemental power across their data center campuses. This role involves renewables power distribution (solar and wind), battery energy storage, on-site generation, and temporary power and mobile substation solutions. The engineer will define reference architectures, standardize design packages, and serve as a technical escalation point for power availability and performance issues. The company is focused on delivering large-scale compute infrastructure for AI, emphasizing speed and scale.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Energy, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
8+ years of experience in power systems, power generation, or power distribution engineering for grid-connected facilities.
Experience providing temporary power and/or mobile substations to facilities - including generator farms, rental fleets, mobile transformers/switchgear, and bridging power schemes.
Experience designing or integrating renewables power distribution (solar and/or wind), including collector systems and interconnection to MV distribution.
Strong working knowledge of MV distribution equipment: transformers, switchgear, generators, and associated protection and controls.
Proficiency performing or reviewing power system studies (load flow, short circuit, coordination, arc flash).

Nice To Haves

Professional Engineer (PE) license.
Experience with utility and on-site power generation design and commissioning for data center supplemental power.
Experience with BESS, fuel cells, microgrid controllers, and grid support functions (demand response, voltage/frequency support).
Familiarity with ISO/RTO interconnection and NERC/FERC requirements (ERCOT, PJM, MISO, CAISO), including large-load ride-through solutions (STATCOM, synchronous condensers, BESS).

Responsibilities

Define the reference architecture for on-site and supplemental power generation and distribution, balancing CAPEX/OPEX and reliability goals.
Design and deliver temporary power and mobile substation solutions to energize facilities ahead of, or in parallel with, permanent utility infrastructure - including bridging power strategies that accelerate speed-to-power.
Lead electrical design and integration of renewables power distribution (solar and wind) and BESS into campus MV systems, including collector systems, interconnection, and protection interfaces.
Evaluate and adopt new power technologies (e.g., fuel cells, advanced battery storage, microgrid controllers) and develop the technical justification for major capital investments.
Serve as a technical escalation point for on-site power availability or performance issues, driving root cause analysis and lessons learned across sites.
Standardize design packages and operational procedures to ensure repeatable quality and minimize project timelines across the portfolio.
