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
