Job summary

SovAI, Inc. is hiring to own the electrical backbone of our behind-the-meter AI factory campuses, including reciprocating engine fleets, MV switchgear, DC bus architectures, and paralleling controls.

You will coordinate designs from single-line diagrams through commissioning, partnering with EPCs and AHJs to deliver safe, reliable, and scalable power for next‑gen compute. The role demands 8+ years in power, microgrids, or heavy industrial electrical design, with hands-on experience in engine

Qualifications

• 8+ years in power, microgrids, or heavy industrial electrical design.
• Hands-on experience with reciprocating engine plants, MV switchgear, protective relaying, and paralleling systems.
• Fluency in ETAP/SKM or equivalent; able to be the senior electrical voice in front of EPCs/AHJs.

Responsibilities

• Develop and stamp-coordinate single-line diagrams, load flows, protection coordination, and arc-flash studies for multi-megawatt BTM plants.
• Specify and evaluate packages (natural gas and dual-fuel reciprocating fleets), switchgear, transformers, and paralleling controls.
• Lead interconnection-avoidance design: islanded and grid-parallel BTM topologies, 800 VDC distribution to compute, and power quality for GPU load steps.
• Support commissioning, acceptance testing, and first-power milestones on site.

Job description

About SovAI

SovAI, Inc. is The AI Factory Architect. We design, build, and operate sovereign AI compute campuses powered behind the meter, built on three pillars: Sovereign Fuel, Sovereign Power, and Sovereign Compute. We deliver dedicated AI capacity for enterprises, communities, and nations, with first revenue in approximately twelve months from project start. We are an early-stage, well-backed company headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, operating remote-first across the United States. This is the ground floor of the defining industrial buildout of this.

The role

You own the electrical backbone of our AI factory campuses: behind-the-meter plants from single-line diagram through commissioning, including reciprocating engine fleets, medium-voltage distribution, DC bus architectures, and paralleling and protection, all engineered as one system with storage and compute.

What you'll do

• Develop and stamp-coordinate single-line diagrams, load flows, protection coordination, and arc-flash studies for multi-megawatt BTM plants
• Specify and evaluate packages (natural gas and dual-fuel reciprocating fleets), switchgear, transformers, and paralleling controls
• Lead interconnection-avoidance design: islanded and grid-parallel BTM topologies, 800 VDC distribution to compute, and power quality for GPU load steps
• Support commissioning, acceptance testing, and first-power milestones on site

What you bring

• PE (electrical) or a clear path to licensure
• 8+ years in power , microgrids, or heavy industrial electrical design
• Hands-on experience with reciprocating engine plants, MV switchgear, protective relaying (SEL or equivalent), and paralleling systems
• Fluency in ETAP/SKM or equivalent, and comfort being the senior electrical voice in front of EPCs and AHJs

Nice to have

• Data-center electrical experience, experience with high-density DC distribution, locomotive or marine engine platforms

Compensation includes meaningful early-stage equity.

SovAI, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer; we hire on capability and character, and we build in every community we serve.
