Electrical Engineer, Substation Design R&D
About this role
Fluidstack is seeking an Electrical Engineer to design and standardize high-voltage substations for large-scale AI data center campuses.

What you'll do
- Design HV yards and MV distribution substations for campus interconnection, including physical layouts and bus configurations
- Develop one-line diagrams and protection system interfaces meeting utility standards
- Specify transformers, breakers, switchgear, and other transmission-class equipment
- Interface with utilities and engineering consultants to translate requirements into designs that pass first-time review
- Support substation construction and energization activities on-site
- Productize and standardize substation designs for replication across multiple projects
What they're looking for
- HV substation design and engineering
- One-line diagram development
- Protection system design and coordination
- Transformer and switchgear specification
- Utility interconnection processes
- Grounding studies (IEEE 80)
- AutoCAD or similar design tools
- Knowledge of 138kV+ systems (bonus)
