Senior MV Electrical Systems Engineer – Islanded Power

Boom Technology; Centennial (CO); On-site; USD 125,000 - 205,000; Full time

Job summary

Boom Supersonic is building Superpower — a 42-megawatt industrial gas turbine designed for frontier AI data centers. You will own the 13.8kV MV electrical system end-to-end, from architecture through energization, protection, and field commissioning, collaborating across mechanical, controls, and instrumentation teams.

We seek an engineer who can define architecture, perform protection studies, and lead energization and testing to ensure reliable islanded operation in demanding, off-grid

Qualifications

• Deep hands-on experience with medium-voltage systems — switchgear, breakers, protective relaying, grounding, and generator integration in industrial or power-generation environments.
• Solid 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 the ability to own that work from study through commissioning.

Responsibilities

• Defining the MV architecture, single-line diagrams, protection philosophy, and concept of operations during preliminary design, including long-lead switchgear and generator circuit breaker specification and sourcing.
• Producing protection coordination studies, relay settings, and MV electrical drawings through detailed design.
• Leading first energization, relay commissioning, synchronization, load acceptance, and step-load testing.
