Responsibilities

Own the electrical architecture for the Superpower power system, including medium-voltage generation (13.8 kV), switchgear, protection, grounding, and instrumentation

Design and deliver Medium Voltage single-line diagrams, protection schemes, interlocks, wiring diagrams, and equipment specifications for generators, GCBs, PT/CT networks, and auxiliary systems

Drive integration of electrical system hardware with downstream bussing, turbine controls, fuel systems, and plant-level automation—solving open-ended problems quickly with hands-on involvement

Lead vendor engagement for generators, switchgear, load banks, and protective relays, translating our constraints into clear deliverables while de-risking long-lead procurements

Support build, test, and commissioning of our first Superpower unit, including power-on testing, load-bank operations, and voltage regulation and protections validation at our test site

Investigate and resolve electrical issues in real time—from protective-relay trips to power-quality anomalies—using first-principles reasoning and field data

Shape standards and processes that don’t exist yet— Minimum Viable Product documentation, interfaces, test methods, and design baselines for a rapidly scaling program

Required

Demonstrated resilience in resolving complex problems in ambiguous environments according to a plan

Brings deep experience with Medium Voltage systems, including switchgear, breakers, relaying, grounding, and generator integration in industrial or power-generation environments

Understands rotating machinery—generator behavior, excitation, AVR systems, synchronization, and transient response under load, faults, and trips

Executes quickly and independently, thrives in ambiguity, and makes progress with incomplete information—bias to build, test, and iterate

Reads and produces clear electrical drawings (one-lines, wire diagrams, panel layouts) and wiring architectures that can be built without confusion

Communicates crisply across mechanical, controls, instrumentation, and supplier teams; turns technical complexity into clear decisions and actions

Learns by doing, is comfortable in the lab and in the field, and can safely work around Medium Voltage equipment and high-energy systems

Owns outcomes, not tasks—follows problems to resolution across disciplines and physical hardware

Able to quickly understand and commission complex rotating-equipment systems, including industrial gas turbines or high-power generator sets in the 20–100+ MVA class

Strong grasp of power-system fundamentals — grounding, relaying logic, GCB operation, excitation behavior, and synchronizing principles — with the ability to come up to speed on new vendor ecosystems rapidly

Comfort breaking down fuel-gas conditioning, instrumentation networks (Modbus, 4–20 mA, RTDs, delta-P switches), and multidisciplinary electro-mechanical interfaces around turbine/generator packages

Hands-on, diagnostics-oriented approach for bringing up medium-voltage equipment (GCBs, SEL/GE relays, MV transformers, load banks, PQ instrumentation), even if direct background is limited

Proven ability to operate in fast-moving utility, substation, or datacenter-scale environments, emphasizing clear thinking, iterative progress, and practical integration over perfect prior experience
