Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Director of Systems Engineering - Energy Server Platform - **Company:** Gemini, Inc. - **Location:** Sunnyvale, CA, United States - **Salary:** $140,000.0 - $180,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Systems Engineering, Data Centers, Reliability Engineering, Systems Architecture - **Published:** June 14, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=6b212ee08ca8691a ## About the Role Do you have experience in Thermal control?, * 15+ years of systems or electrical engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex electromechanical or power-generation products through to commercialization. * Deep electrical/power electronics expertise (power conversion, grid-tie inverters, protection, interconnection standards) combined with genuine system-level fluency across thermal, fluids, and controls. * Track record defining design direction for multidisciplinary technical teams and holding system-level architecture authority. * Experience taking hardware to certified, field-deployable, bankable product at scale. * Hands-on engineer who still does the math and reviews the drawings - comfortable leading without losing technical depth. Preferred * Fuel cell, electrolyzer, power electronics, or distributed generation experience. * Familiarity with data center power requirements and behind-the-meter generation. * Exposure to reliability engineering, IE validation, and reinsurance/bankability processes. * BSEE/MSEE or equivalent; advanced degree a plus. ## Description Gemini Energy is seeking a Director of Systems Engineering to own the technical architecture and integration of our energy server platform solution for AI data center power. This is a hands-on leadership role for an engineer who thinks at the system level, is fluent in power electronics and electrical integration, and can set design direction across mechanical, electrochemical, controls, and balance-of-plant teams. You will be the technical center of gravity responsible for delivering a manufacturable, grid-interconnected, bankable product. What You'll Do * Own the end-to-end system architecture of the energy server, defining interfaces, requirements flow-down, and design budgets (power, thermal, water, mass, cost) across all subsystems. * Set design direction and arbitrate trade-offs for mechanical, electrical, electrochemical, balance-of-plant, and controls groups; resolve cross-disciplinary conflicts at the system boundary. * Lead electrical and power conversion architecture: DC/DC and inverter topology, stack-to-bus integration, protection, and grid interconnection (UL 1741-SB, IEEE 1547-2018). * Drive N+1 modular architecture to achieve five-nines array-level reliability. * Stay hands-on: build models, run calculations, review designs in detail, and personally close technical gaps rather than only directing. * Define and execute the technical roadmap toward a certified, field-deployable, bankable commercial product, including independent engineer validation (Black & Veatch, DNV, Sargent & Lundy). * Drive certification readiness: ANSI/CSA FC 1, NFPA 2/853, NEC 692, ASME, CARB DG-2007. * Partner with the CTO and process engineering on fuel processing, water balance, and thermal integration for the full power island. ## Related Videos - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [The QUEST for Better Software](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/721-the-quest-for-better-software) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [Automated Driving - Why is it so hard to introduce](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/628-automated-driving-why-is-it-so-hard-to-introduce) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
