Senior Power Generation & Infrastructure Engineer – AI Data Centers

Burrow Global is seeking a Senior Power Generation & Infrastructure Engineer to design, scale, and optimize next-generation power architecture for frontier AI Data Centers in Texas. In this role, you will manage multi-megawatt campus power chains and ensure seamless continuous uptime through advanced microgrid design and battery storage integration.

Responsibilities:

• High-Density Grid & Substation Design: Architect, standardize, and scale multi-megawatt MV/HV substation layouts and distribution topologies to handle campus power requirements pushing 100 MW to 1 GW+
• Transient & Dynamic Load Management: Utilize electrical modeling software to engineer robust mitigation systems capable of absorbing immediate, extreme power spikes as massive AI clusters swing instantly between heavy training workloads and idle states
• On-Site Power Generation & Microgrids: Design and oversee the integration of on-site natural gas turbine plants, emergency diesel backup generation fleets, and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to achieve instantaneous power smoothing and independent power delivery
• Rack-Scale Power Integration: Partner with hardware integration teams to optimize the critical power path down to the IT whitespace, managing three-phase load balancing, AC-to-DC rectification systems, and rack-level power distribution units (PDUs)
• ERCOT & Utility Coordination: Serve as the primary regional interface with local Texas utility providers. Navigate complex ERCOT compliance frameworks, interconnection agreements, and local environmental permitting for large generation fleets
• Cross-Functional MEP Engineering: Collaborate with mechanical and thermal engineering teams to align electrical power delivery with advanced high-density liquid cooling loops, immersion tanks, and Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs)
• Testing & Commissioning: Author and execute Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and complex Integrated Systems Testing (IST) protocols to validate automated transfer schemes, protective relaying, and failover sequencing under real-world simulated loads

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a highly related technical field. A Master's degree is a plus
• 7 to 10+ years of progressive engineering experience in large-scale mission-critical infrastructure, heavy industrial power plants, high-voltage substations, or hyperscale data centers
• Advanced, hands-on proficiency with power system analysis software—specifically ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or EasyPower—for load flow, short circuit, arc flash, and transient grid compliance studies
• Deep working familiarity with industrial automation protocols, PLC programming, SCADA networks, and digital substation architectures (IEC 61850)
• Comprehensive knowledge of National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70), Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems (NFPA 110), IEEE 3000-series standards, and Texas environmental/air quality permitting regulations
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in the State of Texas (or ability to obtain reciprocity within 6 months)
• Direct experience engineering power systems tailored for high-density liquid-cooled hardware environments (e.g., NVIDIA Blackwell or custom ASIC/GPU clusters)
• Established relationships or prior project deployment experience with ERCOT and Central Texas utility frameworks
• Remote work is possible but frequent travel to the client site is required
