Job summary

Oracle is seeking a Power Systems Architect (Owner's Engineer Lead) to own the end-to-end architectural vision for electrical power delivery from grid through onsite generation to data centers. You will serve as the final technical authority for high-voltage transmission, substations, interconnection, and site power integration across a global portfolio.

This IC6-level role requires 15+ years in power systems, with a track record on ≥230 kV projects, and a PE license preferred.

Qualifications

• 15+ years of progressive experience in power systems engineering, transmission and distribution, or utility-scale generation.
• Track record of successful design and delivery of projects at ≥230 kV.
• Expertise with HV/MV substations (AIS/GIS: 13.8kV-345kV+), system-level protection, and utility interconnect.
• Deep understanding of utility codes, standards, and best practices in interconnection and compliance.

Responsibilities

• Define, document, and continually refine system-level architectures governing grid interconnection, substations (AIS/GIS), generation, BESS, and power delivery to mission critical facilities.
• Set and approve operating philosophies, including grid dependency, onsite generation, export capability, and black-start/islanding readiness.
• Own architectural decisions across all high, medium, and low voltage systems, including single-line diagrams and revision control.
• Serve as the principal technical interface with utilities, RTOs/ISOs, and regulatory bodies for all interconnection and compliance matters.
• Lead and approve all major system engineering studies (load flow, short-circuit, harmonics, protection, dynamic performance).
• Define and enforce power quality, resiliency, reliability and redundancy standards (N/2N/N+1) across the program.
• Own factory and site acceptance testing at the integrated, system level. Final signoff on readiness for energization and operation.
• Chair architectural design reviews; resolve system-level tradeoffs between generation, substations, storage, and controls.
