Director, Electrical & Power Systems
Amogy · Houston, TX · 6 days ago
On-siteEngineeringFull-time
Key Responsibilities
- Define and own the electrical architecture for integrated ammonia-to-power systems, including generation, BESS, power conversion, and grid interface
- Architect a system that presents as a single, dispatchable power asset to the customer (e.g., genset-like behavior, single point of interconnection)
- Develop power management and control strategies that decouple reformer/engine dynamics from customer load requirements
- Lead electrical integration across mechanical, process, and controls systems, establishing clear system boundaries and interfaces
- Own design of power distribution, protection schemes, grounding, and interconnection strategy
- Drive key tradeoffs across performance, responsiveness, efficiency, cost, and reliability at the system level
- Establish electrical standards, safety philosophy, and compliance strategy (UL, IEC, NFPA, etc.)
- Provide technical leadership across product development and project execution, including design reviews and issue resolution
- Define scalable, modular architectures that reduce dependency on custom EPC-driven engineering
- Act as the company’s primary electrical SME and help build internal capabilities over time
Required Qualifications
- BS in Electrical Engineering
- 10–15+ years designing and deploying complex power or energy systems
- Deep expertise in power distribution (LV/MV/HV), power electronics & conversion systems, grid interconnection and protection schemes
- Experience integrating multi-disciplinary systems (mechanical, controls, process)
- Proven experience owning system-level electrical architecture, not just subsystems
- Strongly Preferred: Experience with distributed energy systems (gensets, microgrids, BESS, fuel cells, hybrid systems)
- Experience with power management systems and energy management systems (EMS)
- Experience delivering containerized or modular power systems
- Exposure to industrial, marine, or off-grid applications
- Experience working with certification bodies (UL, IEC, DNV, ABS)
