You will collaborate across electrical, mechanical, power systems, and construction teams to deliver reliable, massive-scale generation. This is a full-time, onsite role based in the Memphis region.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Own plant electrical systems for on-site gas turbine generation supporting AI superclusters, including generators, excitation, synchronization, auxiliaries, and balance-of-plant electrical
Design and engineer 34.5 kV collect and export systems, protection and control, e-houses, blackstart capability, and related medium-voltage infrastructure
Serve as switching authority for plant electrical systems, including switching procedures, isolation, clearance, and energization
Develop single-line diagrams, protection & control schematics, relay settings, and interconnection designs
Perform detailed power system studies (load flow, short circuit, arc flash, transient stability, harmonics) using ETAP, PSS/E, or equivalent tools
Integrate generation with plant systems, 34.5 kV collect/export, and downstream data center loads
Ensure compliance with relevant standards (NERC, ERCOT, IEEE, NEC, NFPA, UL) and support permitting and utility coordination
Support equipment specification, vendor selection, factory testing, site commissioning, and energization
Conduct failure mode analysis (FMEA), root cause investigations, and reliability modeling to achieve extreme uptime targets
Collaborate with cross-functional teams on new facility builds, capacity expansions, and continuous improvement of power standard

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, physics or electrical engineering technology

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

Experience with gas turbine generators, excitation, synchronization, islanded operation, and blackstart
Experience owning plant electrical systems, including 34.5 kV collect/export, protection, e-houses, and switching authority
Background with data centers, hyperscale facilities, or large on-site power infrastructure (>50 MW)
Knowledge of ERCOT, NERC reliability standards, and utility interconnection processes
Experience supporting construction, commissioning, and operations of power systems
Track record of innovation or high-impact delivery in power infrastructure projects

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

Perform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights
Must be able to work extended hours and weekends as needed; flexibility required
Remain focused while working in hazardous environments, while wearing appropriate PPE
Must be able to lift up to 25lbs unassisted
