Microgrid Engineer information

What is a microgrid engineer?

A Microgrid Engineer designs, develops, and optimizes small-scale power grids that can operate independently or alongside the main grid. They work with renewable energy sources, battery storage, and control systems to ensure reliability and efficiency. Their role involves system modeling, integration of distributed energy resources, and implementation of smart grid technologies. They also address technical challenges related to grid stability, cybersecurity, and real-time energy management. Microgrid Engineers collaborate with utilities, businesses, and communities to create resilient and sustainable energy solutions.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a microgrid engineer?

A typical day for a Microgrid Engineer involves designing and modeling microgrid systems, evaluating energy requirements, and coordinating with project managers, utility representatives, and other engineers to ensure project objectives are met. You may also analyze data from field deployments, review system performance, troubleshoot issues, and provide technical support during installation and commissioning phases. Effective documentation, stakeholder communication, and staying up to date with evolving power technologies are also important aspects of the role. This multifaceted work environment offers opportunities to contribute to renewable energy integration and smart grid innovation while collaborating closely with diverse teams.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a microgrid engineer?

To thrive as a Microgrid Engineer, you need a strong background in electrical engineering, power systems design, and energy management, often supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with power simulation software (e.g., ETAP, PSCAD), SCADA systems, and professional certifications such as PE (Professional Engineer) or PMP can be highly advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams help set you apart in this role. These skills and qualifications are vital for designing, optimizing, and maintaining reliable microgrid systems while ensuring safe and efficient project execution.

Job description

Principal EPC Engineer — Power & Energy Systems Architect
Location: Odessa, TX,  Hayward–Pleasanton, CA (hybrid, with site travel)    
Reports to: CEO / VP Infrastructure    
Type: Full-time
Position Summary
STN is seeking a Principal EPC Engineer to serve as the single technical authority for all engineering, procurement, and construction of power and energy systems across our AI/GPU data center campuses. This is a hands-on architect role: you own the electrical one-line from utility interconnection through the rack, and you architect on-site generation and storage. You will lead high-voltage and medium-voltage distribution design and the behind-the-meter gas microgrid that keeps our compute load resilient. You are the person who signs off that the power system is buildable, code-compliant, and bankable.
Core Responsibilities
High-Voltage (HV) Systems
  • Own utility interconnection design and coordination (ERCOT/TSP), including the point-of-interconnection, main step-up transformer, and HV switchyard architecture.
  • Architect substation and HV switchgear layouts, protection & relaying schemes, grounding, and arc-flash studies.
  • Direct interconnection studies, SCADA/telemetry requirements, and compliance with NERC/ERCOT and applicable interconnection agreements.
Medium-Voltage (MV) Systems
  • Design the MV collection network — feeders, switchgear, ring-bus or radial topology, and MV-to-LV transformation to the data hall.
  • Coordinate protective device settings, selectivity, and fault-current studies across the MV distribution.
  • Integrate MV distribution with BESS PCS tie-ins and generation step-up so storage, generation, and utility power operate as one coordinated system.
Gas Microgrid & On-Site Generation
  • Architect the behind-the-meter gas microgrid: aeroderivative gas turbines (e.g., TM2500 / LM6000-class), fuel supply and conditioning, and synchronization/paralleling with utility and BESS.
  • Design microgrid controls and islanding/black-start logic, load-shedding, and seamless transfer between grid-connected and islanded operation.
  • Own emissions and combustor strategy (SAC + SCR vs. DLE), water/NOx balance, and TCEQ air-permitting coordination.
  • Integrate LFP BESS as the bridging/resilience layer (not traditional UPS) and coordinate the row-level transient layer with bulk storage.
EPC Program Ownership
  • Serve as design authority across all EPC packages — set standards, review and stamp deliverables, and hold EPC contractors and OEMs to spec.
  • Own the electrical scope of RFPs, vendor/EPC selection, and technical evaluation of quotes (pricing, warranty, DoD/performance terms, reference history).
  • Drive value engineering, LCOE modeling inputs, long-lead procurement planning (turbines, transformers, switchgear, BESS), and critical-path management.
  • Interface with permitting, AHJs, insurers, and lenders' independent engineers to keep designs bankable and code-compliant.
Required Qualifications
  • BS in Electrical Engineering (or related); PE license strongly preferred (TX PE or ability to obtain).
  • 10+ years in EPC of power systems for data centers, utilities, industrial, or large-scale generation.
  • Demonstrated ownership of HV interconnection AND MV distribution design on projects at the tens-to-hundreds-of-MW scale.
  • Direct experience architecting on-site generation and/or microgrids — gas turbine paralleling, synchronization, and islanding.
  • Fluency with NEC, IEEE, NERC, and ERCOT interconnection requirements; power-system studies (load flow, short circuit, arc flash, protection coordination).
  • Experience integrating BESS at grid scale and coordinating storage with generation and utility supply.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Hyperscale / AI data center power design experience (liquid-cooled, high-density racks).
  • ERCOT market and TCEQ air-permitting familiarity.
  • Hands-on with tools such as ETAP, SKM, or PSS/E; SCADA/EMS and microgrid controls.
  • Track record standing up a discipline or serving as sole senior authority on a fast-moving development program.
What Success Looks Like (First 12 Months)
  • Own and defend the full electrical one-line for the Odessa campus from POI to rack.
  • Deliver a permit-ready, bankable design for HV interconnection, MV distribution, and the gas microgrid.
  • Establish STN's EPC engineering standards and vendor-evaluation framework so future sites scale off a repeatable playbook.
Compensation:
Odessa, TX: $150,000-$180,000/yr., DOE
Pleasanton, CA: $160,000-$200,000/yr., DOE

Benefits:
  • Health Coverage – Medical, Dental & Vision
  • FSA Health and Dependent Care available
  • 401(k) Plan
  • Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Observed Holidays Paid
  • Cell Phone Allowance
  • Collaborative, growth-driven culture
