DC Architect, Electrical, OCI, NA

Job Description

What You'll Do:

• Architecture and standards

• Own and drive reference architectures for HV/MV/LV distribution, AIS/GIS substations, protective relaying, grounding, and microgrid/EMS controls.

• Define interconnection strategies with utilities (transmission and distribution), including islanding.

• Establish standards for generators (turbines/reciprocating engines), switchgear, UPS topologies, and BESS integration.

• Ensure designs meet or exceed reliability goals (e.g., N+1/2N) and fault tolerance requirements.

• Grid interconnection and utilities

• Oversee load flow, short-circuit, arc flash, harmonics, and stability studies; validate relay coordination and protection settings.

• Develop strategies for demand response, curtailable load, and peak-shaving while safeguarding SLAs.

• Onsite generation and BESS

• Architect and deliver onsite generation plants (gas turbines, reciprocating engines) including fuel systems, emissions controls, and heat recovery where applicable.

• Specify and deploy BESS for resiliency and economics (ride-through, fast frequency response, peak shaving, spinning reserve, black start support).

• Define control sequences for generator-BESS-UPS coordination, microgrid control, and transitions between grid-connected and island modes.

• Design, delivery, and operations

• Provide technical leadership from concept to commissioning (L1-L5), including integrated systems testing.

• Review/approve one-line diagrams, protection schemes, SCADA/EMS architectures, and equipment specifications (transformers, switchgear, breakers).

• Efficiency and cost optimization

• Drive total cost of ownership (capex/opex) reductions via optimized topologies, demand charge reduction.

• Set and deliver targets for electrical efficiency, losses, and system availability; implement data-driven performance monitoring.

• Vendor and industry engagement

• Lead RFIs/RFPs and technical evaluations for OEMs (switchgear, transformers, generators, BESS, relays) and EPCs.

• Track standards and emerging tech and build adoption roadmaps

Responsibilities

What You'll Bring:

• 12+ years of experience in electrical power systems engineering for mission-critical facilities or utilities.

• Proven delivery of high-voltage substation projects (AIS/GIS), utility interconnections, and MV/LV distribution for large-scale data centers or similar.

• Hands-on experience with onsite generation (turbines and reciprocating engines), switchgear, and microgrid/EMS controls.

• Demonstrated BESS deployment experience and integration with UPS/generators.

• Proficiency with power system studies (load flow, short-circuit, arc flash, harmonics), protection coordination, and relay testing.

• Strong vendor/OEM network; experience leading RFx, technical evaluations, and commissioning.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive decisions through data
