Job Overview by Ladders

Qualifications

  • 5-7 years of experience in energy systems engineering.
  • Proven track record in designing controls for demand response or industrial load management.
  • Strong understanding of power systems and automation limitations.
  • Experience in integrating utility or market signals into operational processes.
  • Demonstrated ability to validate control strategies through simulation before field deployment.
  • Familiarity with data center power and cooling systems is a plus.

Responsibilities

  • Engineer demand management controls that adapt load to grid signals and pricing.
  • Develop control strategies for IT load and behind-the-meter generation without breaching SLAs.
  • Integrate with markets and utilities to ensure verification and settlement-grade data.
  • Simulate and validate control strategies before implementation across the fleet.
  • Monitor and optimize performance of demand-side strategies post-deployment.

Benefits

  • Commitment to pay equity and transparency.
Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Engineer demand management controls: the logic that flexes gigawatts of load against grid signals and price.
  • Build control strategies coordinating IT load, cooling, and behind-the-meter generation without touching an SLA.
  • Integrate with markets and utilities: signals in, verified response out, settlement-grade data behind it.
  • Prove strategies in simulation, then deploy them across the fleet.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've engineered controls for energy systems: demand response, microgrids, or industrial load management.
  • You've built control logic that acted on real load and kept its constraints.
  • You understand power systems enough to know what not to automate.
  • You've integrated with utility or market signals.
  • You validate in simulation before the field, every time.
  • Bonus: Data center power and cooling. BESS controls. ISO and RTO market mechanics. Optimization methods.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
