Electrical Engineer, Power Systems & Switchgear
Strobe is building the world's largest power plant: not a single site, but a distributed fleet of buildings, batteries, EVs, and generators that buy and sell power in real time across wholesale energy markets.
Own the electrical engineering behind the fleet: the switchgear that connects each site to the grid, the low-, medium-, and high-voltage systems around it, and the code-compliant designs that let us deploy safely across thousands of sites.
What you'd own
Develop Strobe's switchgear and service-entrance equipment: electrical design, ratings, bus and breaker selection, protection integration, and the path to UL certification
Design LV, MV, and HV systems for battery storage, EV charging, CHP, solar-plus-storage, and generation projects at commercial and industrial facilities, including service entrances, switchboards, transformers, MV switchgear, and utility-side interconnection facilities
Run the engineering analysis behind our designs: load flow, short-circuit, protection coordination, and arc flash (IEEE 1584). Specify relays, settings, and protection schemes, including reverse power, anti-islanding, and transfer trip
Own NEC compliance across our deployments, apply the Power Control System pathway in our designs, and work with AHJs and inspectors to get projects approved
Support utility interconnections from design through Permission to Operate: prepare and review one-line and three-line diagrams, protection packages, and technical submittals, and see them through utility review
Define metering, CT/PT placement, telemetry, and controls integration requirements that feed directly into Strobe's hardware and controls platform
Build reference architectures, design standards, and deployment playbooks that hold up across utility territories and asset types
Work hands-on with utilities, EPCs, electricians, manufacturers, test labs, and site owners, from concept through construction and commissioning
Strong fit if you have
A BSEE (or equivalent) and 5+ years of electrical design experience in power distribution, switchgear, utility, or DER projects
Deep, working fluency in the NEC, and a track record of designs that pass plan review and inspection the first time
A strong understanding of medium- and high-voltage systems: MV switchgear, transformers, grounding, protection, and utility distribution and substation practices
Hands-on experience with protective relaying and coordination (SEL or similar), plus short-circuit and arc-flash studies in ETAP, SKM, or EasyPower
Experience specifying, designing, or developing switchgear or switchboards, and familiarity with the relevant standards (UL 891, UL 1558, ANSI/IEEE C37)
Direct experience taking C&I projects through utility interconnection
Comfort moving between detailed engineering and fast field decisions, with a bias toward repeatable standards over one-off solutions
Bonus points
A PE license, or on track for one
Experience with generator paralleling, microgrids, export controls, and Power Control Systems (UL 1741 / UL 3141)
Experience with utility service upgrades, primary-metered services, or customer-owned MV/HV substations
Product certification experience with an NRTL (UL, Intertek, CSA)
Python, or the ability to turn power system requirements into software and controls specifications
Familiarity with wholesale market participation, telemetry requirements, and grid operator programs
You'll sit where electrical engineering, hardware, and software meet. One day you might be reviewing a relay coordination study, the next working through a switchgear design with a manufacturer, and the next walking a utility engineer through an interconnection package.
Small team, high ownership, no layers.
