Electrical Systems Architect (Medium-Voltage Power)

Location: Centennial, Colorado, United States; onsite engineering and test-floor work required

Base salary: $139,200–$187,050 for P4 and $152,500–$205,000 for P5.

Company

hirify.global is developing Superpower, a 42-megawatt industrial gas turbine derived from supersonic propulsion technology for frontier AI data centers.

What you will do

• Lead the end-to-end design of the 13.8kV medium-voltage system from architecture and single-line diagrams through first energization, endurance testing, and field commissioning.
• Define the protection philosophy, concept of operations, switchgear requirements, generator circuit breaker specifications, and sourcing strategy.
• Produce protection coordination studies, relay settings, MV electrical drawings, equipment ratings, and fault-current analyses.
• Own generator excitation, voltage regulation, synchronization, frequency control, load acceptance, and islanded-operation requirements.
• Lead relay commissioning, first energization, load-bank integration, transient-response testing, and step-load testing.
• Coordinate electrical work across mechanical, controls, and instrumentation teams, including grounding, metering, arc-flash analysis, and interlock design.

Requirements

• Deep hands-on experience with medium-voltage systems, switchgear, breakers, protective relaying, grounding, and generator integration in industrial or power-generation environments.
• Strong knowledge of rotating machinery, generator behavior, excitation, AVR systems, synchronization, and transient response under load, fault, and trip conditions.
• Experience owning protection coordination work, including relay selection, settings, differential protection, and overcurrent schemes from study through commissioning.
• Ability to read and produce buildable MV electrical drawings, including one-lines, wire diagrams, and panel layouts.
• Typically 10–15 years of experience for P4 or 15+ years for P5.
• Applicants must be U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, protected individuals, or eligible to obtain the required U.S. government authorizations under ITAR and EAR regulations.

Culture & Benefits

• Work on a new medium-voltage power platform designed for gigawatt-class islanded operation without relying on an infinite grid.
• Hands-on involvement across design, test-floor work, first energization, and field commissioning.
• Flexible paid time off and long-term incentives or equity may be included in the total rewards package.
• Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis until the search is no longer active.
