Director - Electrical Engineering Systems

Lead and mentor a multi-disciplinary organization spanning power systems, power electronics, and embedded electronics, including hiring, performance management, career development, and team structure.

Establish engineering operating rhythm: planning, prioritization, technical reviews, staffing plans, and decision-making processes.

Set technical direction and ensure consistent engineering quality across requirements, architecture, implementation, verification, and documentation.

Own the plant-level electrical architecture, including utility interface, substation and distribution design, grounding and protection philosophy, and power quality and reliability strategy.

Guide system modeling and simulation efforts including load flow, short-circuit, and transient studies, and ensure models remain consistent with evolving load envelopes and operating modes.

Lead integration strategy for compensation and storage assets such as STATCOM for load shaping, ride-through capability, and power recovery as applicable.

Own the technical interface to external engineering, procurement, and construction partners and utilities, including technical specifications, design reviews, and factory and site acceptance participation.

Oversee development of high-power converters and magnet power supplies, including topology selection, protection concepts, thermal strategy, and integration with embedded controls.

Develop test strategy and execution: prototype bring-up, staged-load validation, failure mode exploration, parameter tuning, and readiness evidence for integration.

Own hardware architecture for embedded control and instrumentation electronics that interface power conversion hardware, diagnostics, and control firmware.

Lead electromagnetic compatibility and noise mitigation strategy across boards, cabinets, and system integration boundaries.

Partner with systems engineering to translate device requirements into electrical requirements, interface definitions, and verification plans.

Run evidence-based technical gates and design reviews, with clear entry and exit criteria and configuration control.

Own delivery artifacts such as requirements, interface definitions, design packages, test plans, and acceptance evidence to support procurement, installation, and commissioning.

Maintain a strong safety culture including electrical safety, hazard analysis inputs, and design choices that support safe installation and operations.

Provide hands-on leadership in lab and field environments, coordinating with technicians and test teams for build, wiring, installation support, and debug.
