Power Systems Engineer

at Oracle in Boise, Idaho, United States

Job Description

As a Power Systems Architect (Owners Engineer Lead), you will own the end-to-end architectural vision, systems strategy, and technical standards for electrical power delivery from grid through onsite generation to data center. Operating at a principal architect/VP-equivalent individual contributor level, you will serve as the final technical authority for high-voltage transmission, substations, interconnection, and site power integration across our global infrastructure portfolio. This role sets the technical and compliance direction, oversees execution, and ensures our design philosophy delivers unmatched performance, resiliency, and cost efficiency-without direct people management responsibility.

Skills & Experience

The successful candidate will have a history of driving technical strategy, functional direction, and architecture for large-scale data center infrastructure, engineering systems, and global standards. This person will have demonstrated strategic-level engineering work beyond assigned requirements or site-level execution, with evidence of creating or influencing standards that improved consistency, scalability, reliability, cost, or operational performance across multiple sites or regions. This position requires:

+ 15+ years of progressive experience in power systems engineering, transmission and distribution, or utility-scale generation.

+ Track record of successful design and delivery of projects at =230 kV.

+ Expertise with HV/MV substations ( AIS / GIS : 13.8kV-345kV+), system-level protection, and utility interconnect.

+ Extensive experience with power system simulation and analysis tools (e.g., PSCAD , ETAP , PSS /E, DigSILENT, ASPEN ).

+ Deep understanding of utility codes, standards, and best practices in interconnection and compliance.

+ Experience integrating generation, substation, BESS , and microgrid for mission critical (data centers, campuses, industrial) power delivery.

+ Professional Engineer (PE) license strongly preferred.

+ Exceptional ability to influence cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders.
