Director, Electrical & Power Systems (Houston)

Brief DescriptionAmogy is a cleantech startup creating carbon-free power systems using ammonia as an energy carrier. Our technology converts ammonia into hydrogen on demand and delivers dispatchable power for mobility applications and where the grid is constrained, unreliable, or insufficient.Job SummaryWe 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 ResponsibilitiesDefine and own the electrical architecture for integrated ammonia-to-power systems, including generation, BESS, power conversion, and grid interfaceArchitect 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 requirementsLead electrical integration across mechanical, process, and controls systems, establishing clear system boundaries and interfacesOwn design of power distribution, protection schemes, grounding, and interconnection strategyDrive key tradeoffs across performance, responsiveness, efficiency, cost, and reliability at the system levelEstablish 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 resolutionDefine scalable, modular architectures that reduce dependency on custom EPC-driven engineeringAct as the company's primary electrical SME and help build internal capabilities over timeRequired Qualifications:BS in Electrical Engineering10–15+ years designing and deploying complex power or energy systemsDeep expertise in power distribution (LV/MV/HV), power electronics & conversion systems, grid interconnection and protection schemesExperience integrating multi-disciplinary systems (mechanical, controls, process)Proven experience owning system-level electrical architecture, not just subsystemsStrongly PreferredExperience 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 systemsExposure to industrial, marine, or off-grid applicationsExperience working with certification bodies (UL, IEC, DNV, ABS):Balance of hands-on and architectural workWhat We Offer:Competitive Medical, Dental & Vision CareFSA and HSA401(k) with 5% company matchLife insuranceFlexible (PTO)Ancillary BenefitsEmployee Assistance Program (EAP)Open, supportive culture of drive and executionAmogy is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants without regard to any protected characteristic under applicable law.
