Electric Hydrogen’s mission is to make molecules to decarbonize our world! Our outstanding people are our most important asset and will allow us to deliver hydrogen from renewable electrolysis for heavy industry, at prices below fossil fuels.
We’re looking for a Staff Power Systems Engineer to develop connection specifications between the Electric Hydrogen power system and medium voltage utility grid. You will be comprised of managing all aspects of electrical installation design (combination of 3rd party EPC design review and performing internal design) conducting power systems analysis using modeling and simulation software programs to evaluate real-world system characteristics such as load and power flows, short circuit analysis, transient stability, stability with active linear loads (such as active power factors) and other operational characteristics.
You will work onsite in San Jose, CA and report to the Director, Power Platform.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • BS degree in electrical engineering or related field
  • 10+ years of relevant professional experience with electrical power systems
  • EPC design experience with large industrial power (petrochemical, oil and gas) and generation design (wind/solar medium voltage collection)
  • Experience with power system protection analysis and implementation
  • Experience with medium voltage and substation design, SCADA design.
  • Field experience with power generation (microgrids, energy storage, engines/turbines, renewables), distribution systems, and operational experience with electric utilities
  • Professional Engineer license
  • Ability to run analyses and projects unassisted.

    LI-Onsite

Actual base salary offered to the hired applicant will be determined based on their work location, level, qualifications, job-related skills, as well as relevant education or training and experience.
