Job Title: Staff Electrical Engineer
Location: Danbury, CT or Mississauga, ON

This role is central to that effort. We are looking for a principal electrical and controls engineer who has done this kind of work before, someone who can help architect the path forward, raise the technical bar, and mentor a talented team through a meaningful technology transition.

Hybridization and Load-Following Architecture:

Define the electrical and controls architecture for integrating BESS, supercapacitors, or other fast
response assets with our MCFC power plants
Develop strategies for dynamic load-following, transient response, and power smoothing, capabilities our
current systems were not designed for
Support grid-forming, islanding, black-start, and high-availability operating modes suited to data center
and mission-critical applications
Evaluate and select hybrid topologies, inverter interfaces, and energy management approaches that work
within MCFC technology constraints

Controls Architecture and Modernization:

Assess and improve our current PLC-based control architecture across ladder logic, structured text, and
function block programs for reliability, maintainability, and scalability
Establish controls standards and reusable frameworks that reduce the amount of custom tuning required
at each customer site
Work with the team to systematically reduce field debugging time through better upfront design,
validation, and documentation practices
Identify where controls architecture changes are needed to support hybridization, load-following, and
higher uptime targets
Develop and maintain control philosophies, functional specifications, and system-level architecture
documentation
Support SCADA and HMI integration across plant, module, EBOP, and grid interface applications

Simulation, Modeling and MIL/SIL/HIL:

Help the organization build toward a simulation-first development culture; we understand this is a journey
and are looking for someone who can lead it practically
Develop or adapt dynamic system models using MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica, Python, or equivalent tools
that allow controls logic to be tested before field deployment
Lead or support model-in-the-loop (MIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)
efforts as capability is built out
Provide practical guidance on which modeling and simulation investments will have the highest near-term
payoff in our product development cycle

Power Electronics and Electrical Equipment:

Apply deep knowledge of power electronics used in distributed generation including inverters, rectifiers,
DC-DC converters, UPS systems, and associated protection and switching equipment
Lead electrical architecture for HV/MV/LV distribution systems including transformers, switchgear,
electrical panels, VFDs, grounding, bonding, and auxiliary power systems
Specify and oversee conduiting, cable tray, wiring, and electrical balance-of-plant (EBOP) systems from
concept through installation
Develop and review electrical drawing packages including one-line diagrams, schematics, panel schedules,
conduit and cable schedules, grounding plans, and as-built documentation
Lead or contribute to protection coordination studies, relay settings, arc-flash analysis, and fault current
calculations
Apply relevant certification and compliance frameworks including FC-1, UL, CE, NFPA, NEC, and IEEE
standards across product and plant designs

EPC and Integrator Coordination:

Support technical interface with EPCs, large-scale systems integrators, and equipment vendors across
electrical and controls scope
Define contractor deliverables and review EPC-produced drawings, specifications, and submittals for
technical accuracy and compliance
Support utility interconnection activities including coordination with utilities, EPCs, and permitting
authorities
Manage technical interfaces across multi-party projects, ensuring alignment between FuelCell Energy's
engineering standards and contractor execution
Provide technical input during procurement, bid evaluation, and vendor qualification processes

Commissioning and Field Support:

Support FAT, SAT, commissioning, startup, energization, and field troubleshooting activities
Develop commissioning plans, LOTO procedures, and customer acceptance protocols
Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for controls and electrical field issues
Coordinate with field service teams during installation, startup, and system integration at customer sites

Required:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related field
8+ or more years of relevant experience in industrial controls, distributed generation, or complex power
systems
Hands-on PLC programming experience across ladder logic, structured text, and function block, and a clear
view of where that approach has limitations
Experience with hybrid power systems, BESS integration, or fast-response storage paired with generation
assets
Deep working knowledge of power electronics including inverters, rectifiers, converters, and associated
protection equipment used in distributed generation applications
Experience with electrical drawing packages including one-lines, schematics, panel schedules, and conduit
and cable schedules
Familiarity with certification and compliance frameworks relevant to distributed power equipment: FC-1,
UL, CE, NFPA, NEC, and IEEE standards
Demonstrated experience working with EPCs and large-scale systems integrators as a technical owner,
including drawing review, specification development, and contractor coordination
Working knowledge of protection coordination, grounding, arc-flash analysis, and industrial electrical
safety
Experience supporting field commissioning and startup, with a practical understanding of what it looks like
when controls are not right and why
Experience with or genuine interest in advancing simulation-based controls development including MIL,
SIL, and HIL methodologies
Strong communicator, able to explain technical tradeoffs clearly and work across engineering, field, and
commercial teams
Hands-on experience with MIL/SIL/HIL environments or digital twin development using MATLAB/Simulink,
Modelica, or equivalent

Preferred:

Experience with fuel cells, electrochemical systems, or other slow-response generation assets that require
hybridization for dynamic applications
Experience with data center power infrastructure, UPS architectures, or high-availability power design
Familiarity with grid-forming inverters, microgrid controllers, or utility-scale energy management systems
Experience with DC power systems, high-voltage DC distribution, or insulation monitoring
Experience with ETAP, AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar engineering tools
PE license or EIT designation
