Infrastructure Reliability Engineer

STACK Infrastructure · Manassas, VA · 1 wk ago
EngineeringFull-time

Responsibilities

  • Lead deep-dive investigations and RCAs for electrical infrastructure failures, including UPS systems, switchgear, breakers, relays, generators, grounding systems, STS behavior, VFD interactions, controls, and power quality disturbances
  • Evaluate electrical system performance under abnormal, fault, or degraded conditions (e.g., grounding faults, harmonics, transient events, protective coordination, voltage distortion, transfer events) to identify systemic vulnerabilities
  • Engage OEMs and vendors to challenge technical assumptions and advocate for long-term improvements
  • Support the evolution of maintenance standards and asset strategy for high-risk or complex systems (e.g., power distribution, cooling)
  • Collaborate with Workforce Development to enhance technical training for site teams based on lessons from event investigations
  • Contribute to availability reporting, event response improvement, and risk trend monitoring to ensure SLA commitments are met
  • Inform and influence the design review and turnover process by identifying gaps in infrastructure handoffs, system limitations, or commissioning practices
  • Develop system-level failure mode mitigation strategies that improve uptime performance and reduce repeat incidents
  • Partner with Operations, Engineering and Construction to review electrical design assumptions, protective schemes, equipment compatibility, and commissioning practices to identify long-term reliability risks prior to or following operational events

Requirements

  • 5–8 years of experience in critical infrastructure environments (e.g., data centers, substations, power generation, or utility systems)
  • Strong technical fluency in mission-critical electrical systems, including power distribution architecture, UPS systems, generators, grounding methodologies, protective relays, switchgear, controls integration, and power quality analysis
  • Experience analyzing electrical failures through waveform data, event logs, relay coordination, commissioning findings, or forensic troubleshooting
  • Working knowledge of electrical system design intent versus operational field realities, including maintainability, equipment compatibility, and fault response
  • Demonstrated ability to work across disciplines (Ops, Eng, Vendors, Construction) to resolve complex technical issues
  • Expertise with commissioning (Cx) and infrastructure design review processes
  • Ability to analyze performance data and translate findings into practical improvements

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering or equivalent experience with high technical competency

Skills

  • Strong communication skills
  • Persuasive and clear communication
  • Natural curiosity and drive towards continual improvement
  • Team-building abilities
