Senior Power Systems Electrical Engineer

About Type One Energy

Type One Energy Group is mission-driven to provide sustainable, affordable fusion power to the world. Established in 2019 and venture-backed in 2023, the company is led by a team of globally recognized fusion scientists with a strong track record of building state-of-the-art stellarator fusion machines, together with veteran business leaders experienced in scaling companies and commercializing energy technologies.

Your Role in the Mission

You will:

• Lead the design of low and medium voltage (480V–13.8 kV) distribution systems for stellarator facilities and supporting infrastructure.
• Develop and maintain single-line diagrams, load schedules, grounding systems, and equipment layouts.
• Specify low and medium voltage switchgear, transformers, MCCs, and distribution panels designed for high availability and continuous operation.
• Architect power systems for large, steady-state electrical loads with tight reliability and thermal performance requirements.
• Lead and execute detailed engineering studies, including:
• Load flow / power flow analysis
• Short circuit analysis
• Arc flash hazard analysis (IEEE 1584)
• Protective device coordination
• Voltage drop and steady-state performance evaluations
• Develop and maintain system models using ETAP, EasyPower, or SKM PowerTools.
• Provide technical leadership for large industrial motor systems.
• Design and specify VFDs, MV drives, and motor starting methods optimized for continuous-duty operation.
• Evaluate impacts of motor loads on system stability, harmonics, and efficiency.
• Develop and own protection philosophies and relay coordination strategies for LV/MV systems.
• Provide technical leadership during installation, testing, and commissioning of electrical infrastructure.
• Serve as the power systems subject matter expert (SME) across multidisciplinary teams.
• Mentor junior engineers and perform design and study reviews.
• Produce and review:
• Power system study reports
• Equipment specifications
• Congstruction and as-built drawings
• Ensure compliance with NEC, IEEE standards, NFPA 70E, and utility requirements.
• Lead internal and external design reviews.
