The Role
Design and review large-scale electrical power systems for utility-scale generation, data centers, and industrial facilities. Own deliverables spanning one-line diagrams, load flow, HV/MV distribution, substations, transformers, and switchgear. Apply hands-on engineering judgment to an AI-powered automated design engine, establish electrical quality standards, identify bottlenecks, and develop scalable calculation or design-automation tools. The role is in-person in San Francisco and emphasizes execution, first-principles thinking, and extreme ownership.

Mission:

We are automating construction end to end to usher in a new era of abundance and beauty in the physical world in the coming decades. Over the past fifty years, the West’s ability to design and build large scale infrastructure has atrophied, and the entire industry has become less productive. With decaying infrastructure, power shortages, and an aging workforce, the only way through is to hyper-scale development with technology at a rate never before seen.

 

Our team believes that this is the most important work of our lives, and there’s no more significant place to spend our time than on solving these problems. We believe in the sacrifices that we must make to achieve our mission and build a world of abundance. We believe the future can be amazing, but only if we work gut-wrenchingly hard to make it so. Our work is bigger than all of us, and our obsession with manifesting is what drives us. Roughly 50% of our team are former founders, and we strive for technical excellence, but quell our egos to ensure that the best ideas always win.

 

We acknowledge the long and arduous path ahead to achieve our ambitions; that many of the most difficult challenges have yet to even be revealed to us; that the chance of failure is not only possible, but likely. Most of all, we believe that there is no other option: we will either revolutionize how humanity builds or die trying.

 

The role:

We're hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to bring deep, practicing electrical expertise into our product. You'll pair years of hands-on design experience with product development, to take how an excellent EE thinks, reviews, and makes judgment calls, and turn that into capabilities within our automated design engine product, where we leverage AI to automate every step of the engineering design process to produce end construction design deliverables for large scale capital projects such as utility scale power and data centers. You'll set the bar for what "correct" means on every electrical deliverable we ship.

This role is in-person in San Francisco, CA.

What we're looking for:

  • Experience in one or more phases of design, construction, commissioning and operation of utility-scale power generation facilities

  • Owned the electrical design of large-scale power distribution systems end to end, from one-line diagrams and load flow through HV/MV distribution, substations, transformers, and switchgear, ideally on utility-scale generation (solar, BESS, or gas plants), or on the load side of large industrial power systems such as data centers or heavy industrial facilities

  • T-shaped technical excellence: broad understanding of how the civil scope connects to adjacent disciplines, and the implications of trade-offs across them, while also having deep expertise in 1-2 areas

  • Evidence of strong first principles thinking: someone who has challenged "this is how we've always done it" syndrome

  • Excitement to work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, and embrace extreme ownership where we rethink many of the traditional "best-practices" of an industry that has been mostly frozen for 70+ years

  • The ability to prioritize impact by ruthlessly finding the bottlenecks and solving the most important problems

  • Hands-on engineers who can speak to the excruciating minutia and details of their work, and are excited to execute instead of manage/organize others' work

  • Mission alignment and desire to build a future of abundance

Experience: Senior. Significant hands-on electrical design experience; PE strongly preferred.

Bonus:

  • Experience building your own calculation, analysis, or design-automation tools. A large part of this role is turning your engineering knowledge into scalable software; even if you've barely written software before, you'll leverage recent advancements in AI coding agents to assist you in building these tools

  • Experience with AI coding agent tools (Codex, Claude Code, etc) for work or personal uses

Skills Required

  • Experience in one or more phases of design, construction, commissioning, and operation of utility-scale power generation facilities
  • End-to-end ownership of electrical design for large-scale power distribution systems, including one-line diagrams, load flow, HV/MV distribution, substations, transformers, and switchgear
  • Significant hands-on electrical design experience
  • Broad understanding of civil and adjacent engineering disciplines and cross-disciplinary trade-offs
  • Ability to execute hands-on engineering work rather than primarily manage or organize others' work
  • Ability to prioritize impact, identify bottlenecks, and solve high-priority problems
  • Mission alignment and willingness to work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license
  • Experience building calculation, analysis, or design-automation tools
  • Experience with AI coding agent tools such as Codex or Claude Code

What We Do

Unlimited is an AI-native engineering and construction company. We're here to fix the 50-year decline in our ability to build critical infrastructure: power plants, factories, data centers, and the like. We envision a future of unprecedented abundance - where energy is limitless, the built world assembles itself, and our physical environment constantly inspires us to reach for more. This will not be easy. We’re on a multi-decade long journey to fully automate construction and in doing so, accelerate the pace of human progress. Unlimited is working with industry leading companies to design and build large-scale industrial projects in mining, energy, advanced manufacturing, and data centers. We are currently delivering projects in the United States, and will expand internationally in the future. If you need to design and build projects across mining, energy, process technology, advanced manufacturing, or data centers, and want to redefine what's possible, please get in touch. If you're a builder and you deeply resonate with the mission, come help us make it a reality.
