Electrical Engineer (Medium Voltage)

The Superpower platform is designed to operate in arrays that scale to gigawatt-class islanded power. There is no grid to lean on for frequency reference, fault current, or voltage stability. You're not designing a system that parallels an infinite bus and lets the grid handle the hard problems. You’re defining from first principles how a standalone 13.8kV machine starts, regulates voltage and frequency, rides through transients, protects itself under fault conditions, and delivers reliable power to critical loads. Grid interconnect is an option for certain applications — but off-grid is the primary design condition, and the harder one.

You will be responsible for the end-to-end electrical design of the 13.8kV medium-voltage system on the Superpower platform, from architecture through first energization, endurance testing, and field commissioning. No handoffs. No deferring to vendors on hard calls. You own the outcome.

• 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
• Protection relay selection, settings, and coordination, including differential, overcurrent, ground fault, voltage, and frequency protection
• Fault-current management, interrupting-duty analysis, and equipment rating coordination
• Frequency control, synchronization, and load acceptance for islanded operation
• CT/PT selection, metering, and sensing infrastructure for protection, control, and monitoring
• MV load bank integration, transient response, and step-load testing
• Neutral grounding strategy and ground fault detection
• Arc-flash hazard analysis, electrical safety systems, and interlock design
