Transmission & Interconnection Engineer

Company

Satoshi Energy is at the forefront of energy innovation, championing the colocation of AI and bitcoin data centers with renewable energy assets. As the first mover in 2018, we have developed nearly 500 MW of data centers in ERCOT, with an additional 5 GWs of data center projects under development.

The Role

Our team brings deep expertise across electric power markets, project development, and software development, positioning us as trusted experts in this rapidly evolving market. We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Transmission & Interconnection Engineer to optimize and own our interconnection processes, transmission planning, and site evaluation capabilities.

This role is ideal for an engineer with transmission planning or design experience who thinks commercially and thrives in startup environments. You'll bridge technical rigor with business judgment, conducting shadow studies and land assessments, navigating utility interconnection processes, and identifying opportunities that balance engineering feasibility with market opportunity. Working at the intersection of renewable energy, data centers, and grid infrastructure, you'll be instrumental in scaling our powered land development business from early-stage projects to a robust pipeline.

As a foundational technical hire, you'll have significant autonomy to build processes, shape strategy, and grow with the company as we expand our impact on the energy transition.

Your Day-to-Day

• Interconnection Process & Transmission Planning : You will optimize and manage our interconnection workflow from initial feasibility through commercial operation - navigating utility processes, load study requests, liaising with distribution and transmission utilities to understand / adhere to / influence requirements, conducting load flow studies, interfacing with ISOs and industry technical / regulatory bodies, and ensuring projects meet applicable technical standards. You will become our internal expert on grid interconnection across multiple ISOs and utility territories.
• Site Assessment & Technical Diligence : You will evaluate potential development sites through transmission capacity analysis, shadow studies, infrastructure assessments, and conceptual designs. You will identify technically viable and commercially attractive opportunities that align with our development strategy.
• Stakeholder Management : You will work closely with internal teams and external consultants to maintain alignment, build trust, and keep projects moving. You will balance internal and external resources to meet evolving needs.
• Process Development & Technical Infrastructure : You will build the frameworks, templates, and best practices that enable our team to scale efficiently, from interconnection application checklists to technical screening criteria. Your systems will ensure consistency, reduce project risk, and accelerate our development timeline.
• Cross-functional Collaboration : You will work closely with our project development, sales, and operations teams to translate technical constraints into business decisions. Your ability to communicate complex transmission concepts to non-technical stakeholders will be essential as you help shape site selection strategy, inform go / no-go decisions, and support commercial negotiations.
