Head of Product Engineering - Large Power Transformers

Beyond SOF

Austin, TX • On-site

$153K - $188K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 22 days ago

Job description

The client is a defense-grade advanced manufacturer, automating heavy-industrial production for critical
U.S. infrastructure. Our first facility will produce Large Power Transformers (≥100 MVA, 138 kV-500 kV class),
delivering the precision, reliability, and speed required to strengthen and expand America's grid. We are building the
first automated LPT manufacturing platform in the United States uniting modern robotics and digital twin design to
accelerate transformer production and deployment.
Job Description: The Head of Product Engineering will join the founding team to lead all design, materials, and
manufacturability initiatives for Terminus' transformer product line. This role will define the company's technical DNA -
translating decades of power-engineering know-how into modern, automated, and scalable production. This is a critical
leadership role, necessary to architect Terminus' first generation of 100-500 MVA power transformers, establish
internal design standards, and integrate advanced design tools (CAD, FEA, digital twins) with manufacturing
automation.
Key Responsibilities
•Product Design Leadership: Lead end-to-end electrical and mechanical design of LPTs (core, windings, tank,
OLTC, bushings, cooling, insulation systems).
•Design for Manufacturability: Translate design requirements into scalable manufacturing workflows optimized
for automation, repeatability, and quality.
•System Integration: Define and validate electrical, thermal, and mechanical performance parameters for ≥100
MVA, 34.5-500 kV transformers.
•Toolchain Development: Implement advanced modeling and simulation environments with Digital Infrastructure
team (e.g., SolidWorks, COMSOL, ANSYS Maxwell, EMTP-RV).
•Compliance & Standards: Ensure adherence to IEEE, ANSI, IEC, DOE, and utility specifications; lead design
qualification and type testing programs.
•Supplier & Utility Interface: Support technical engagement with utilities, EPCs, and component vendors (core
steel, windings, insulation, bushings, OLTC, etc.).
•Team Building: Recruit, mentor, and grow the core transformer design and product-engineering team.
Desired Qualifications
•10+ years experience in power transformer design/manufacturing, preferably at Siemens Energy, ABB/Hitachi
Energy, GE Grid Solutions, WEG, or a major utility/EPC (Burns & McDonnell, Black & Veatch, etc.).
•Deep understanding of core/winding design, insulation coordination, dielectric testing, loss optimization, and
thermal management.
•Proficiency with transformer design software (e.g., EFACE, Flux, ANSYS Maxwell, COMSOL, or in-house
proprietary tools).
•Strong grasp of Design for Manufacturability (DfM) and familiarity with automated or semi-automated
production methods.
•Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems focus); PhD or PE license preferred.
•U.S. citizenship or permanent residency (due to defense-grade program requirements)
