From the original posting
WHO YOU ARE:
Astro Mechanica is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer focused on power systems development to join our growing team. You will be working across aviation and ground power teams to enable Astro Mechanica’s ground power product, a 13 MW aeroderivative generator, built to deliver fast, on-site power for data centers and industrial sites that can't wait years for grid capacity. In this role, you will be responsible for the medium-voltage electrical system that turns aircraft engines into ground power plants. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you will set the architecture, run the studies, specify the equipment, lead validation and commissioning, and be the technical authority on electrical safety. You will work closely with mechanical, controls, and manufacturing teams and represent the product with customers, utilities, and certification bodies. If you want to build a real power product rather than a slice of one, this role is for you.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Translate product requirements into electrical specifications, one-line diagrams, schematics, and BOMs
Own the electrical architecture and design of the plant including transformers, switchgear, cabling, protection, and grounding
Perform and review power system studies- load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, grounding, harmonics, and transient analysis
Ensure compliance with NEC, IEEE, IEC, UL, NFPA 70E, and utility interconnection requirements; own electrical safety and certification for the product
Mentor engineers, review designs, and serve as the technical interface to customers, utilities, and suppliers
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
BS, MS, or PhD with a focus on electrical engineering
5+ years of experience designing, building, testing, and shipping electrical power systems
Deep experience with medium-voltage systems (1–38 kV): generators, transformers, switchgear, protective relays, and paralleling/grid-interconnect schemes
Strong command of power system analysis (symmetrical components, fault calculations, protection coordination, arc flash) and proficiency in ETAP, SKM, or EasyPower
Working knowledge of applicable codes and standards (NEC, IEEE, IEC, UL, NFPA 70E) and experience taking a product through certification
Hands-on field experience commissioning and troubleshooting MV equipment and generator control systems
Track record of owning a complex electrical product from concept through production with cross-functional teams
Familiarity with power electronics (inverters, rectifiers, excitation systems) and controls integration (SCADA, PLC, communication protocols) is a plus
PERKS & BENEFITS:
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
401(k) program and transparent stock option plan
Flexible work environment
