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 act as a primary technical authority managing multi-megawatt campus power chains. You will solve the escalating energy demands of high-density, GPU-accelerated computing clusters (scaling from 40 kW to over 150 kW per rack).
Your core focus will stretch from medium/high-voltage utility interconnections down to rack-level power integration. You will ensure seamless continuous uptime through advanced microgrid design, battery storage integration, and transient load management.
Core 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.
Required Qualifications- Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or a highly related technical field. A Master's degree is a plus.
- Experience: 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.
- Technical Power Modeling: 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.
- Controls & Automation: Deep working familiarity with industrial automation protocols, PLC programming, SCADA networks, and digital substation architectures (IEC 61850).
- Standards & Codes: 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.
Preferred Qualifications- Professional Credentials: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license in the State of Texas (or ability to obtain reciprocity within 6 months).
- AI Infrastructure Familiarity: Direct experience engineering power systems tailored for high-density liquid-cooled hardware environments (e.g., NVIDIA Blackwell or custom ASIC/GPU clusters).
- Local Network: 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.
