Power Systems Analyst

As a Power Systems Analyst you will play a key role in Giga Energy's data center expansion initiatives by identifying and securing excess capacity and optimal grid interconnection points. This role requires collaborating with utilities, internal teams, and external stakeholders to build a pipeline of new electrical capacity to support our internal data center growth.

The ideal candidate will possess expertise in utility interconnection processes, understanding of utility-grade electrical infrastructure, and modeling of utility electrical rates.

This role can be performed fully remote from your home offices.

• Capacity Planning: Identify and pursue opportunities to expand electrical grid capacity to support future data center projects.
• Technical Assessments: Conduct comprehensive technical evaluations of potential interconnection points, including feasibility studies, capacity assessments, and technical requirement analyses.
• Load Interconnection Applications: Prepare detailed load interconnection applications, including the development of conceptual single-line diagrams to support project submissions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams, including engineering, construction, and land departments, as well as external partners to facilitate smooth project execution.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all interconnection activities adhere to applicable regulatory standards and utility requirements.
• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain accurate technical documentation of interconnection processes, equipment configurations, and project milestones.

• Industry Experience: Minimum of 2 years' experience in electrical infrastructure engineering, with a focus on modeling, simulating, and analyzing power distribution systems and load interconnection.
• Technical Expertise: Strong understanding of power systems architecture, electrical design, and grid interconnection processes.
• Utility Coordination Skills: Proven experience navigating utility processes to secure interconnection points and expand grid capacity.
• Data Center Knowledge: Familiarity with data center infrastructure basic requirements.
• Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Project Management Abilities: Demonstrated experience managing multiple interconnection projects, ensuring timelines, budgets, and project objectives are met.
• Travel Flexibility: Willingness to travel up to 10% to visit potential sites, meet with utility partners, and attend industry events.

We don't use "A-player" loosely. Here's what it actually means at Giga:

Antifragile. You don't just survive chaos, you get better because of it. When things break, change, or move sideways, you don't freeze. You adapt faster than the problem evolves.

High Agency. You don't wait to be told what to do. You see the gap, you fill it. If something is blocking progress, you find a way around it, over it, or through it without asking for permission.

Executors. Ideas are cheap. We hire people who ship. You're the person who turns a whiteboard sketch into something real while everyone else is still scheduling the next meeting about it.

Bias to Action. Perfect is the enemy of done. You'd rather make a decision with 80% of the information and course correct than sit around waiting for 100% that never comes.

Speed. We move fast because the opportunity demands it. You're not reckless, but you understand that in this industry, the team that moves fastest wins. And you like winning.
