Original job description

At Jacobs, we bring engineering expertise, fresh thinking, and collaboration to complex energy challenges. Join us in developing power systems that support the next generation of data centers and advanced facilities while advancing reliability and resilience.

Your impact

Jacobs’ Energy & Power business is seeking a Power System Controls Engineer to support conceptual planning, design, modeling, integration, and validation of Data Center controls ecosystem including battery energy storage systems (BESS), UPS, and other controllable equipment with a particular focus on AI and hyperscale facilities.

You’ll help clients setup technical and functional specifications, define how BESS operates alongside utility supplies and onsite generation to comply with large load interconnection, performance and other applicable technical requirements.

Working with Jacobs’ regional and global teams, data-center owners, equipment manufacturers, utilities, and EPC contractors, you’ll support projects from feasibility and conceptual design through procurement, detailed engineering, commissioning, and operational performance assessment.

Your responsibilities will include:

Define and establish overall AI data center plant control hierarchy and support establishing functional/performance specifications, acceptance criteria for load swings, faults, trips etc.;
Work closely with state-of-the-art controls and inverter manufacturers to stay on top of all latest and greatest technologies;
Develop integrated power system models on RMS and EMT platforms;
Perform a range of power system studies from BESS optimal sizing to transients;
Support project commissioning through SIL/HIL testing, FAT/SAT, capacity and efficiency testing, integrated systems testing, and utility witness testing. This will be part of larger team of experts and only focused on controls system.
Support team work and project delivery. Deliver clear reports and client presentations, manage assigned scope, schedule, budget, and risks, and contribute to proposals and knowledge sharing across Jacobs. #epjobs #naepjobs

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline, with a strong foundation in power systems, circuit theory, power electronics, and controls.

At least five years of relevant experience in BESS, power systems engineering, grid integration, microgrids, or mission-critical electrical infrastructure, including direct involvement in BESS projects.
Direct experience in controls hierarchy and specifications of utility scale plants, BESS sizing, performance assessment and electrical integration. Understanding of UPS operating modes, onsite generation, protective relaying, utility interfaces, and their influence on facility performance during normal operation, disturbances, and transfers.
Hands-on power system and controls modeling and analysis experience using tools such as PSCAD/EMTDC, PSS®E, ETAP, or equivalent platforms.
Working knowledge of applicable NEC, NESC, IEEE, IEC, NFPA, utility, and regional interconnection requirements, together with familiarity with NFPA 855, UL 9540, and UL 9540A fire-test evidence.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, technical writing, and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate engineering decisions to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
Ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams, OEMs, consultants, and contractors across concurrent projects while maintaining safety, quality, and delivery commitments.
Willingness to travel for client meetings, factory testing, commissioning, and project-site activities.

Ideally, you’ll also have

A master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Power Electronics, or Controls, and professional registration such as PE or PEng.
Priority will be given to candidates from a BESS OEM, or bringing recent BESS OEM experience, particularly those with experience in power systems engineering, applications engineering, inverter or plant controls, grid integration, product validation, or commissioning.
SIL/CHIL experience using RTDS, OPAL-RT, or Typhoon HIL; familiarity with RTAC-based integration, network protocols, oscilloscopes, and hardware/software debugging.
Experience with SCADA, EMS, and electrical monitoring interfaces, including IEC 61850, signal lists, data models, command arbitration, and protection-control
