Overview In this Lead Engineer role you act as AMD's technical client representative for behind-the-meter power infrastructure projects, guiding validation from gas supply to data center delivery. You'll assess end-to-end power chains, coordinate with developers, EPCs, utilities, and suppliers, and ensure designs meet reliability, safety, and commercial operation goals. You'll translate complex risks into clear recommendations for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. This position offers a chance to shape critical power solutions for mission critical data centers and collaborate across cross-functional teams to drive impactful outcomes. ResponsibilitiesServe as AMD's technical client representative for behind-the-meter power infrastructure projectsValidate full power chain from gas supply through electrical deliveryReview designs for reciprocating engines, turbines, alternators, BESS, switchgear, transformers, substations, protection systemsAssess capability to meet data center load, redundancy, power quality, maintainability, reliability, and commercial operationReview documentation including single-line diagrams, gas-flow diagrams, basis-of-design, permit matrices, equipment specs, commissioning plans, project schedulesValidate gas supply assumptions, pipeline routes, ROW/easement status, crossing permits, gas pressure, gas quality, and backup fuel strategiesEvaluate generator sizing, derating, heat rate, emissions controls, and maintenance strategiesReview MV/HV architecture, substations, bus design, relay protection, grounding, and islanding logicSupport review of grid-forming BESS, load-step response, dynamic stability, frequency control, harmonic performance, and AI workload transient behaviorIdentify missing permits, approvals, sequencing risks, lead-time risks, and commissioning gapsDefine technical decision points for design freeze, permit clearance, initial gas delivery, synchronization, load testing, islanding, and commercial operationPrepare risk summaries, executive briefs, trackers, and readiness recommendations Key requirementsExperience in power generation or data center power infrastructureStrong understanding of natural gas infrastructure (pipeline interconnects, metering, gas quality, regulation)Experience with reciprocating generators, gas turbines, alternators, switchgear, emissions-control systems, commissioningKnowledge of BESS, grid-forming inverters, islanded power systems, and related conceptsExperience reviewing MV/HV systems and protection coordinationAbility to interpret load-flow, dynamic stability, EMT, RoCoF, harmonic studiesFamiliarity with permitting and regulatory requirements for emissions, pipelines, and interconnectionsAbility to communicate complex technical risks to executives and non-engineersExperience collaborating with EPCs, developers, utilities, gas suppliers, OEMs, and consultantsBachelor's or Master's degree in engineering; PE license preferred (not required)Strong judgment and independent decision-makingClear, evidence-based communication to diverse stakeholdersAbility to translate complex risks into actionable recommendationsGas supply and pipeline validationGas quality and fuel conditioningGenerator sizing and performance (reciprocating engines, turbines, alternators)
