About the role
Contribute to the specification and design of our HVDC systems, including developing and validating terminal subsystems in both simulation and physical hardware. You will develop deep, end-to-end knowledge of the terminal design over time. You will help shape the exact roadmap, but we expect success in this role to include the following early milestones:
What they're looking for
- Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Controls, or Power Systems
- Experience designing across the entire spectrum of power delivery and generation infrastructure (medium-voltage and high-voltage applications)
- Experience with grid interconnection processes, utility coordination, and applicable codes and standards (NEC, NERC, IEEE, IEC, CIGRE, ANSI, NESC)
- Experience designing and operating islanded power systems supporting critical loads
- Proficiency with Python or MATLAB for simulation automation and results post-processing
- Familiarity with DC transmission architectures
More about this role
American Terawatt is building a new industrial electric grid for the United States. Power systems engineering is at the core of what we do.
We design and deploy advanced power transmission systems, serving large industrial loads, gigawatts at a time. Our systems deliver power to everything from frontier AI datacenters to advanced automated manufacturing, refineries, mines, and more.
We make interconnection fast, simple, and cheap. On our network, generation owners get their projects online faster, delivering abundant power at competitive prices.
The backbone of American Terawatt’s network is HVDC transmission, anchored by our unique terminal design. American Terawatt’s terminals are standardized, modular, and natively integrate energy storage. Each terminal is designed to expand to operate as a full node on our future HVDC transmission network.
About the role
We are hiring a Power Systems Engineer to help design, model, test, and deploy our HVDC terminals and transmission systems.
You will work with a Principal Engineer, the broader R&D Engineering team, and our test engineers and technicians, taking ownership of power-system modeling, subsystem validation, and commissioning...
