## Description

## Job Overview

As a Data Center Power Generation & Microgrids Engineer at Anthropic, you will own the behind-the-meter generation and storage architecture for Anthropic's data center portfolio. This involves designing and implementing on-site generation, battery energy storage systems, and microgrids that can ride through grid disturbances and present a well-behaved load at the point of interconnection.

## Responsibilities

### On-site Generation Engineering

- Design and maintain the generation basis of design and technical specifications for Anthropic's data center portfolio.

- Characterize the data center load for external generation partners.

- Model generation response against the load profile of large-scale ML training.

- Develop temporary- and bridging-generation strategies for early site energization.

- Ensure generation designs meet regulatory requirements and codes.

### Energy Storage & Microgrid Architecture

- Size and specify battery energy storage systems for ride-through, step-load buffering, and power-quality support.

- Define the site microgrid topology and operating modes.

- Specify the functional requirements for the microgrid controller.

### Grid Interconnection & Power Quality

- Lead the technical side of utility interconnection for sites with on-site generation or storage.

- Own power quality at the point of interconnection.

- Run or critically review power-system studies.

### Vendor Diligence & Delivery

- Lead technical due diligence on on-site generation providers, BESS integrators, and microgrid-controller vendors.

- Define the technical performance terms in energy-services agreements.

- Review and disposition design packages, submittals, shop drawings, and deviation requests.

## Requirements

- 10+ years of engineering experience in power generation, microgrids, battery energy storage, or utility interconnection.

- Deep hands-on experience with one or more generation technologies.

- Understanding of thermal generation asset classes and their responses to fast load changes.

- Familiarity with battery energy storage sizing, inverter selection, and microgrid architecture.

- Fluency in interconnection standards and processes.

- Comfortable running or critically reviewing power-system studies.

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, or a closely related field.

## Nice to Have

- Experience with designing or delivering battery energy storage systems at MW scale.

- Experience specifying or commissioning a microgrid controller.

- Experience taking at least one large load or generation interconnection from application through agreement.

- HV/MV substation design experience.

- Protection-engineering background.

- Experience integrating renewable generation with storage into hybrid behind-the-meter plants.

## Compensation

The annual compensation range for this role is $320,000-$405,000 USD.
