Lead MV Electrical Architect for Islanded 13.8kV Power

Boom Supersonic; Englewood (CO); On-site; USD 139,000 - 205,000; Full time

Job summary

Boom Supersonic in the United States is seeking an electrical engineer to own the 13.8kV medium‑voltage system for the Superpower platform, from architecture through energization and field commissioning. You’ll collaborate across mechanical, controls, and instrumentation teams to ensure a reliable, scalable power delivery for a gigawatt‑class installation.

You should have deep MV experience with switchgear, protection relaying, generator integration, and the ability to produce clean MV drawings

Qualifications

• Deep hands-on experience with medium-voltage systems — switchgear, breakers, protective relaying, grounding, and generator integration in industrial or power-generation environments.
• Strong understanding of rotating machinery: generator behavior, excitation, AVR systems, synchronization, and transient response under load, faults, and trips.
• Experience with protection coordination — relay selection, settings, differential and overcurrent schemes — and ability to own that work from study through commissioning.
• Ability to read and produce clean MV electrical drawings (one-lines, wire diagrams, panel layouts) that can be built and commissioned without ambiguity.
• Comfort working across mechanical, controls, and instrumentation teams and translating between them when needed.

Responsibilities

• Define MV architecture, single-line diagrams, protection philosophy, and concept of operations during preliminary design.
• Produce protection coordination studies, relay settings, and MV electrical drawings through detailed design.
• Lead first energization, relay commissioning, synchronization, load acceptance, and step-load testing.
• Oversee generation, distribution, and protection of all MV power from generator terminals through switchgear to loads.
• Coordinate generator excitation, voltage regulation, and interface requirements with turbine control system.
• Ensure protection relay selection, settings, and coordination across all assets.
