Director, Codes & Standards

Enphase is now bringing its semiconductor-based software-defined power conversion expertise to a new frontier: the IQ Solid-State Transformer (IQ SST) a distributed solid-state transformer platform for converting medium-voltage AC to regulated AC and DC power.

About the Role

Solid-state transformers are ahead of the rulebook. The codes and standards that govern medium-voltage power conversion high-frequency isolation and DC power distribution in data centers are still being written and whoever shows up to write them will define the certification path the installation requirements and ultimately who can sell into this market. Enphase intends to be that company.

We are looking for a senior codes and standards leader to own and drive Enphases position across the regulatory and standards landscape for the IQ SST business. This is an external-facing influence role. You will be Enphases voice on the committees panels and working groups where the rules for solid-state transformers and data center power are taking shape. You will anticipate what is coming shape it before it lands and translate it back into clear actionable direction for our product engineering and certification teams. You will build and work a network of committee chairs testing laboratories (NRTLs) utilities AHJs data center operators and peer manufacturers and you will already know many of these people on day one.

What You Will Do

• Define and drive Enphases codes and standards strategy for the IQ SST platform medium-voltage power conversion high-frequency isolation transformers DC distribution and grid interconnection aligned with our product roadmap and pilot and volume timelines.
• Represent Enphase on the committees that govern this space securing seats and leadership positions where it matters most including: UL Standards Technical Panels for UL 1741 (including its medium-voltage revisions) UL 2877 and UL 347/347A (MV power conversion up to 38 kV) and UL 1562; IEEE working groups (IEEE 1547 series IEEE PES Transformers Committee emerging SST/power-electronics-transformer efforts); NFPA/NEC code-making panels covering Articlesand the data center articles (645/646); and ICC code development affecting data center construction.
• Lead where standards dont yet exist: identify gaps (e.g. high-voltage DC distribution in data centers certification paths for SST architectures) initiate new standards projects or task groups and drive industry consensus toward requirements Enphase products are designed to meet.
• Engage data center industry bodies Open Compute Project (OCP) power workstreams NFPA 75/76 fire protection requirements and operator technical forums so the DC power architectures our customers specify align with the standards we help write.
• Author and champion proposals: draft code change proposals standards revisions comments and ballot positions; build coalitions to get them adopted; lead floor debate and comment resolution.
• Engage utilities and interconnection proceedings on medium-voltage service and grid-interface requirements for SST-powered facilities in partnership with our policy and business development teams.
• Shape the certification path: partner with NRTLs and our certification engineering team to establish practical repeatable evaluation schemes for SST products reducing cost and time-to-market for each generation.
• Monitor interpret and forecast: maintain a forward radar of code cycles standard revisions and rulemakings; brief executives and product teams on what is changing when it takes effect and what we must do about it.
• Support AHJ and field acceptance: help resolve jurisdictional interpretation issues for early deployments and support training and outreach that smooth adoption.

Who You Are

• A recognized codes and standards professional in power electronics medium-voltage equipment transformers or data center power infrastructure with 10 years of relevant experience including 5 years of direct committee work.
• Proven influencer: you hold or have held seats on standards technical panels code-making panels or working groups and can point to specific proposals ballots or code changes you drove to adoption.
• Connected: an active network across UL IEEE NFPA ICC testing labs (NRTLs) utilities and AHJs ideally extending into the data center industry.
• Technically fluent: deep working knowledge of medium-voltage power conversion and transformer standards (UL 1741 UL 2877 UL 347/347A UL 1562 IEEE C57 series) grid interconnection (IEEE 1547-2018/1547.1) and the NEC as it applies to equipment over 1000 V and data center installations. You can hold your own in a technical debate with test engineers and code officials alike.
• Comfortable in white space: you have experience driving requirements for technology that existing standards dont cleanly cover not just complying with settled rules.
• An effective advocate and communicator: you write persuasive proposals and comment responses present credibly in public forums and distill complex regulatory developments into crisp executive guidance.
• Strategic and self-directed: you set the agenda prioritize among concurrent code cycles and standards projects and deliver results with minimal oversight.
• Willing and able to travel to committee meetings hearings and industry events (up to 40% primarily U.S.).
• BS in Electrical Engineering or related technical field required; MS or PE a plus.

Bonus Points

• International standards experience: IEC 62477-2 (MV converters) IEC 62109 IEC 60076 series CE marking pathways and participation in IEC technical committees or national-committee mirror groups.
• Direct experience with solid-state transformer MV drive or MV UPS certification programs.
• Experience with DC distribution standards work (e.g. OCP 400 V/800 V DC architectures) or hyperscale data center power specifications.
• Leadership positions held (chair vice-chair task group lead) in standards bodies.

Why Enphase

Solid-state transformers for AI data centers are a market being created in real time and the codes and standards are the critical path: certification for a product line in this space can run years and millions of dollars and the rules that decide that are being written now. This role gives you real authority over that path executive visibility and the backing of one of the worlds most successful clean energy technology companies as it enters its next major market.
