About the role

Role focused on engineering demand management controls to flex gigawatts of load against grid signals and price, coordinating IT load, cooling, and behind-the-meter generation, with integration to markets and utilities and validation in simulation before deployment across the fleet.

Responsibilities

  • Engineer demand management controls: the logic that flexes gigawatts of load against grid signals and price.
  • Build control strategies coordinating IT load, cooling, and behind-the-meter generation without touching an SLA.
  • Integrate with markets and utilities: signals in, verified response out, settlement-grade data behind it.
  • Prove strategies in simulation, then deploy them across the fleet.

Qualifications

  • You've engineered controls for energy systems: demand response, microgrids, or industrial load management.
  • You've built control logic that acted on real load and kept its constraints.
  • You understand power systems enough to know what not to automate.
  • You've integrated with utility or market signals.
  • You validate in simulation before the field, every time.
  • Bonus: Data center power and cooling. BESS controls. ISO and RTO market mechanics. Optimization methods.
