About the role

Role focused on designing and delivering medium-voltage (MV) power distribution networks for Fluidstack's AI infrastructure, including islanded grids, MV substations, protection strategies, and standardization of designs across a fleet of blocks.

Responsibilities

  • Design the MV network. Design the medium-voltage network that carries power from each generation block to the data halls, inside the system design basis, as one standard that every site deploys and that grows by adding blocks rather than by redesign.
  • Design the cluster tie and MV substations. Cover bus arrangement, transformer selection, tie and transfer schemes, and the switching sequences that let a new block energize next to live ones without an outage.
  • Run the network studies yourself. Size feeders, cable and transformers to the load and produce the load flow, voltage drop, short circuit, protection coordination, and EMT studies of switching, energization and islanded transients behind them, as models that rerun for each site's layout and block count.
  • Set protection and specifications. Set the protection philosophy and relay settings for an inverter-dominated network with limited fault current, and write the standard specifications for MV switchgear, transformers, cable and relaying that ship with every block.
  • Define the envelope. State the block count, feeder length, fault level and load step the standard holds for, set the triggers that send a site to a site-specific study, and fold what each energized site teaches back into the next revision.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in medium-voltage power distribution design, including network studies, protection coordination, and MV switchgear and substation design.
  • You've personally built power system models of an MV network and produced the load flow, short circuit and cable sizing results that went into issued-for-construction drawings.
  • You've built EMT models of switching, energization or islanded events, and changed a design because of what they showed.
  • You've set the protection philosophy and relay settings for a system with limited or variable fault current, and can walk through the coordination that proved it.
  • You've designed MV distribution down to the hardware, including metal-clad switchgear, transformers, cable and duct bank ampacity, and grounding, and defended those choices against NEC, NFPA 70E and IEEE requirements with engineers of record and AHJs.
  • You've designed an MV substation or bus tie scheme that let new capacity energize next to live load, and written the switching sequence the operators followed.
  • You've turned a one-off design into a standard that other engineers applied across multiple projects, and written its design basis clearly enough that they could use it without calling you.
  • You're comfortable with regular travel: expect 25% or more, depending on business needs.
  • Most of our engineering team, stakeholders, and work are based in Austin, TX, and we value working in person. We have a strong preference for Austin and run a hybrid model, but we're open to other locations for the right role and candidate.
  • Bonus: Transmission-side study and protection work, including interconnection and EMT studies. Grid-forming and islanded systems. A Professional Engineer licence.
