At Lyten, we believe the most meaningful careers begin with purpose — and with people who want to make a difference. We’re not just developing advanced supermaterials — we’re about to change the world as we know it, reshaping how energy is stored, how products are built, and how progress is made.

We’re entering an exciting growth phase, scaling production across the U.S. and Europe and expanding our team of engineers, scientists, and innovators.

Apply now to join our team and be part of something bigger than yourself — where collaboration, creativity, and purpose come together to build the technologies that will define the next century.

Job Scope

High-level purpose of the function.

The Electrical Engineer with technical authority is responsible for the design, procurement, construction oversight, and commissioning of all High Voltage (HV) distribution infrastructure (typically > 33 kV) and Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) substations across the industrial site and grid connection points. This role ensures the secure, reliable, and compliant transmission and transformation of power from the utility grid, focusing on minimising project risk and optimising long‑term system maintainability and safety.

Key Responsibilities

Overall areas of responsibility and activities

• HV System Design : Lead the conceptual and detailed design of HV distribution networks, including overhead lines, underground cable routes, and utility interconnections (e.g., up to 33 kV or 152 kV as required).
• Substation Expertise : Serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for all aspects of GIS (Gas-Insulated Switchgear) substation design, specifying layouts, bay configurations, equipment ratings, and primary component integration.
• Insulation & Grounding : Conduct advanced analysis and design for insulation coordination, transient overvoltage protection, and comprehensive substation grounding grid systems (including step/touch potential calculations).
• Analysis & Studies : Perform rigorous power system studies using industry-standard software, focusing on dynamic stability, transient analysis, short‑circuit contribution, and developing complex protection relay settings for HV infrastructure.
• Procurement and Vendor Management : Develop detailed technical specifications for major GIS, power transformers, circuit breakers, and protection relays. Oversee and approve vendor documentation (Drawings, Type Test Reports, FAT/SAT procedures).
• Safety & Compliance : Ensure all HV designs adhere strictly to relevant international standards (IEC 62271, IEC 61936) and local regulatory requirements for safe operation, maintenance access, and construction (e.g., LOTO principles during maintenance phase).
• Commissioning Support : Provide technical leadership during the Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) for all GIS and HV primary equipment, verifying performance before final energisation.

Accountability/Authorization

• Budget responsibility: No
• Direct reports: No
• Authorized to decide on investments according to role and policy.
