Fluidstack; New York (NY); On-site; USD 203,000 - 232,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking an electrical engineer to design and optimize the electrical side of behind-the-meter generation and data center integration, focusing on fast-build plants, generator connections, and switchgear.

You will run studies for islanded and grid-parallel operation, coordinate protection and grounding, and integrate storage with generation across a campus system. We value ownership and rapid delivery in a cutting-edge AI infrastructure company.

Qualifications

• You've engineered electrical systems for power generation, microgrids, or utility-scale storage.
• You've designed generator interconnections and the studies behind them.
• You understand islanded operation and what it does to protection and stability.
• You've integrated inverter-based resources with rotating machines.
• You've taken plant designs through commissioning.
• Bonus: Microgrid controls. Grid codes and interconnection standards. PSCAD or PSSE. BESS electrical design.

Responsibilities

• Engineer the electrical side of behind-the-meter generation: collection, interconnection, and integration with the data center.
• Design the electrical balance of plant: generator connections, transformers, and switchgear for fast-build plants.
• Run the studies for islanded and grid-parallel operation: stability, grounding, and protection coordination.
• Integrate storage and generation electrically into one controllable campus system.
