## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- 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
- Generation, distribution, and protection of all medium-voltage power, from 13.8kV generator terminals through switchgear to downstream loads and optional grid interconnect
- Generator excitation, voltage regulation, and interface requirements with the turbine control system
- Switchgear and breaker systems, including generator circuit breakers, feeder breakers, and bus-tie configurations
