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 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: Bachelors degree in Electrical engineering Power Systems Engineering or a highly related technical field. A Masters 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 softwarespecifically ETAP SKM PowerTools or EasyPowerfor 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.
