About the role
We are seeking a Design Engineer, Power Generation to develop and integrate power-generation systems for large-scale AI infrastructure campuses. You will translate campus load, reliability, schedule, and operating requirements into practical generation architectures and technical design criteria, supporting both behind-the-meter generation and hybrid grid-and-generation strategies. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of engineering experience in power generation or industrial power systems, including responsibility for generation facility design or integration
- A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- Experience taking generation projects from concept and equipment selection through detailed design, with direct involvement in procurement, construction support, commissioning, or performance testing
- Strong understanding of generation technologies such as gas turbines or reciprocating engines and their supporting electrical, mechanical, and fuel systems, including protection, controls, grid paralleling, islanding, and black start
- Ability to evaluate engineering studies, drawings, specifications, and supplier proposals, identify technical risks, and make defensible tradeoffs among safety, reliability, cost, schedule, and maintainability
- Experience resolving design interfaces across engineering disciplines and coordinating equipment suppliers, engineering and construction partners, utilities, and operators
