Job Information
We are looking for an experienced Electrical Applications Engineer with a specialized focus on integrating fuel cells into microgrid solutions for data centers. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, optimizing, and deploying microgrid systems that incorporate fuel cell technology as a primary or backup power source for data centers. You will work to create reliable, scalable, and sustainable power solutions that support the critical needs of data center operations.
Role & Responsibility
Fuel Cell Integration Into Microgrids
Design and integrate fuel cell systems into microgrid architectures, ensuring seamless operation as a primary or backup power source within data center environments. Optimize fuel cell performance, efficiency, and scalability for high-demand applications Including integration of fuel cell-based microgrids with the existing electrical grid. Ensure proper synchronization, seamless transfer between grid-connected and islanded modes, and effective load management for data center operations.
Fuel Cell Requirements Definition
Propose and support changes to the Fuel Cell Electrical systems to integrate with microgrid systems more easily.
Microgrid System Design & Optimization
Work with Customers and Suppliers to develop and implement site specific microgrid systems that combine fuel cells, energy storage (e.g., batteries), renewable energy sources (e.g., solar), and conventional generators for data centers. Focus on reliability, redundancy, and optimal energy management. Proven experience with a commercial mindset: Managing customer expectations, providing technical support, and delivering complex energy solutions while identifying opportunities to bring additional value to the customer.
Power Electronics & Control Systems
Work with power electronics, inverters, and controllers to convert, condition, and distribute power generated by fuel cells. Develop control strategies to ensure the efficient and coordinated operation of fuel cells with other energy sources in grid-connected or islanded modes.
Role & Responsibility - continued
Energy Management & Optimization
Develop and configure energy management systems (EMS) to optimize the operation of fuel cells, energy storage, and other generation sources. Ensure efficient energy flow, load balancing, and peak shaving to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.
Reliability & Redundancy Design
Ensure microgrid systems are fault-tolerant, resilient, and meet the high-availability needs of data centers. Implement redundancy strategies (e.g., N+1 configurations) for critical components such as fuel cells, energy storage, and inverters.
Collaboration With Cross-Functional Teams
Work closely with mechanical engineers, software engineers, and data center operations teams to ensure that the microgrid system is fully aligned with facility power requirements. Communicate effectively to ensure timely integration and deployment.
Compliance & Safety Standards
Ensure that all fuel cell microgrid systems meet regulatory requirements, industry standards (e.g., IEEE, IEC), and safety protocols for energy systems and data centers. Keep updated on environmental regulations and sustainability goals for energy systems.
Troubleshooting & System Support
Provide ongoing technical support and troubleshooting for fuel cell-based microgrid systems. Perform regular performance optimization and address any system failures or efficiency issues that may arise.
Education
Job Requirements - Education, Experience & Certifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Renewable Energy, or a related field.
Experience
Job Requirements - Skills
Excellent ability to analyze system performance, identify issues, and propose effective solutions to ensure high reliability, efficiency, and resilience of fuel cell-based microgrid systems.
Communication & Collaboration
