Job description

Our client is a growing manufacturer and integrator in the critical power and data center market, with our own generator packaging line and a full data center electrical product portfolio (PDUs, UPS, static transfer switches, custom LV/MV switchgear, transfer switches, tap boxes, BESS, batteries, and transformers). We're expanding manufacturing capacity and headcount to keep pace with utility-scale and hyperscale data center demand, particularly across Texas.

About the Role

This role is a bridge position, not core equipment design. You'll sit between customer needs, utility/interconnection requirements, and our internal engineering and manufacturing teams, shaping customer-specific solutions from early concept through installation, commissioning and the ongoing life of large, multi-phase projects.

Responsibilities

• Perform and sign off on short-circuit, coordination, and arc-flash studies (SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower); prepare compliance documentation (NEC 700/701/702, NFPA 110, IEEE, UL)
• Partner with sales during pursuit to influence engineer-of-record basis of design; engage peer-to-peer on paralleling topology, closed-transition/extended utility paralleling, and multi-unit plant architecture
• Support utility interconnection applications (IEEE 1547/2800) for prime power, peak shaving, and demand response; interface directly with utility engineering on protection coordination and relay settings
• Provide engineering support to generator packaging and switchgear manufacturing lines; support Level 4/5 commissioning (witness testing, load bank protocols) and field-service escalations

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering (Power/Energy Systems preferred)
• 5+ years of power systems engineering experience with a substantial field component

Required Skills

• Proficiency in short-circuit/coordination/arc-flash analysis tools and working command of NEC, NFPA 70E/110, IEEE 1547/2800, and UL standards
• Direct experience with engine-generator and utility paralleling systems, medium-voltage (MV) equipment, and LV/MV distribution gear
• AutoCAD and Revit Electrical proficiency
• Willingness to travel 30–40%+

This is a senior, high-visibility hire at a financially stable, growth-stage company in one of the hottest segments of the market, with real scope to shape the role as the division scales.

We are committed to diversity and inclusivity in our hiring practices.
