Job description

Strobe is building the world's largest power plant: not a single site, but a distributed fleet of buildings, batteries, EVs, and generators that buy and sell power in real time across wholesale energy markets.

Take sites from contract to dispatching: own interconnection, metering, market enrollment, and commissioning, and feed what you learn in the field back into the product.

What you'd own

• Drive interconnection and utility approvals: applications, one-line diagrams, and the back-and-forth with utility and ISO engineers
• Enroll sites in grid-operator markets and programs (NYISO, PJM, CAISO): demand response, capacity, and the metering and telemetry they require
• Commission new sites: metering, CT/PT wiring checks, protection and interconnection settings, and verifying assets respond correctly to dispatch
• Translate utility tariffs, interconnection rules, and market manuals into requirements the engineering team can build against
• Serve as the technical point of contact for customers, installers, and AHJs as sites come online

Strong fit if you have

• A power systems / electrical engineering background and fluency with one-lines, protection, and metering
• Hands-on experience with interconnection (utility or ISO) and DER, storage, or generation projects
• Working knowledge of wholesale market or demand-response program rules (NYISO, PJM, CAISO, ISO-NE)
• Comfort moving between a spreadsheet, a relay, and a customer meeting in the same day
• A bias toward owning the messy end-to-end problem rather than handing it off

You sit between the grid and the product: defining requirements, commissioning hardware, and working alongside our controls and platform engineers.

Small team, high ownership, no layers.
