Senior MV Power Architect — Islanded, Gigawatt-Scale

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

Job summary

Boom Supersonic is building Superpower — a 42-megawatt industrial gas turbine derived from supersonic propulsion technology, purpose-built for frontier AI data centers where power demand is scaling faster than the grid can keep up.

This role owns the medium-voltage system that turns shaft power into dependable 13.8kV electrical power, carrying it from generator terminals to islanded load while ensuring the system can protect itself, stay online, and deliver power when it matters.

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 ability to own that work from study through commissioning.

Responsibilities

• Define 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.
• 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.
