Director, Electrical & Power Systems

• Location 10920 West Sam Houston Parkway North,Suite 100,Houston, TX, 77064,United States
• Employee Type Full Time Exempt

Description

Amogy is a clean tech energy company redefining how power is delivered. Through our innovative technology, we are unlocking ammonia as a practical, carbon-free energy carrier for reliable power. Our technology converts ammonia into hydrogen on demand, enabling dispatchable power for mobility applications and for sites where the grid is constrained, unreliable, or insufficient. As demand for power accelerates, Amogy is building the energy systems to deliver it, cleanly, reliably, and at scale.

Job Summary:

We are hiring a Director, Electrical & Power Systems to define and own the electrical architecture for Amogy’s next‑generation ammonia-to-power systems. This role is responsible for translating a chemically driven power source into a grid‑ready, dispatchable power product. You will define how generation, storage, and controls come together into a cohesive system that behaves at the customer interface like a highly responsive, reliable power asset.

This is Amogy’s primary electrical SME role, with end‑to‑end ownership spanning product architecture, integration strategy, and project execution. You will often operate as a chief engineer— setting system direction, making critical design decisions, and staying closely engaged in implementation and integration. Over time, you will build up Amogy’s electrical engineering function, but the immediate focus is owning the architecture and driving execution toward Amogy’s early commercial product deployments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and own the electrical architecture for integrated ammonia-to-power systems, including generation, BESS, power conversion, and grid interface


• Architect a system that presents as a single, dispatchable power asset to the customer (e.g., genset‑like behavior, single point of interconnection)


• Develop power management and control strategies that decouple reformer/engine dynamics from customer load requirements


• Lead electrical integration across mechanical, process, and controls systems, establishing clear system boundaries and interfaces


• Own design of power distribution, protection schemes, grounding, and interconnection strategy


• Drive key tradeoffs across performance, responsiveness, efficiency, cost, and reliability at the system level


• Establish electrical standards, safety philosophy, and compliance strategy (UL, IEC, NFPA, etc.)


• Provide technical leadership across product development and project execution, including design reviews and issue resolution


• Define scalable, modular architectures that reduce dependency on custom EPC‑driven engineering


• Act as the company’s primary electrical SME and help build internal capabilities over time

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

• BS in Electrical Engineering


• 10–15+ years designing and deploying complex power or energy systems


• Deep expertise in power distribution (LV/MV/HV), power electronics & conversion systems, grid interconnection and protection schemes


• Experience integrating multi-disciplinary systems (mechanical, controls, process)


• Proven experience owning system‑level electrical architecture, not just subsystems


• Strongly Preferred


• Experience with distributed energy systems (gensets, microgrids, BESS, fuel cells, hybrid systems)


• Experience with power management systems and energy management systems (EMS)


• Experience delivering containerized or modular power systems


• Exposure to industrial, marine, or off‑grid applications


• Experience working with certification bodies (UL, IEC, DNV, ABS):


• Balance of hands‑on and architectural work

Summary

What We Offer:

• FSA and HSA


• 401(k) with 5% company match


• Life insurance


• Flexible (PTO)


• Ancillary Benefits


• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)


• Open, supportive culture of drive and execution
