We’re a team of friends bound together by a mission to preserve our planet for future generations through innovative energy solutions and modern infrastructure. Intersect develops, constructs, and operates the most ambitious power and data center infrastructure in the country by co-locating industrial demand with dedicated gas and renewable power generation.   Intersect was acquired by Google in March 2026 and operates as an independent subsidiary. We are developing and constructing multiple gigawatts of energy and data center projects in the U.S., enabling more data center and generation capacity to come online faster. We’re on an aggressive growth trajectory and looking for people hungry to tackle the largest energy challenges on the planet.   Location & Team Gatherings   Intersect has been a fully flexible workplace since its founding in 2016.  We’ve been very intentional about the way we do things. We are not work-from-home, hybrid, or in-office - we are any and all of those options! Deepening social connections and offering shared experiences is a cornerstone of the way we work. We connect as a team at our Team Week experiences four times a year and at our recently established Hub locations - SF Bay Area, NYC Metro Area, NY; Denver, CO; Austin, TX; Calgary, AB; and Toronto, ON.   We are currently looking for candidates located within 60 miles of any of the listed hubs to foster more in-person connections while maintaining our flexible remote culture. About This Position   As part of Intersect’s Engineering team, you’ll design and lead the control systems that enable our utility-scale clean energy assets to operate reliably, compliantly, and at peak performance. This role owns SCADA architecture, plant control integration, and grid compliance across ERCOT and other ISOs—ensuring our projects move seamlessly from construction through commissioning and into long-term operations. This role is planned to start in mid-Q1, with a training period of 4 weeks to reach full productivity by mid-Q2. You’ll collaborate closely with Engineering, Construction, Operations, Asset Management, and external grid stakeholders to deliver high-performing, grid-compliant infrastructure that supports long-run value creation.   Team Overview   This team plays a critical role in advancing Intersect’s mission to accelerate the clean energy transition. The Engineering team partners across development, construction, and operations to design resilient, high-performance infrastructure that delivers reliable power to the grid. By combining deep technical expertise with cross-functional collaboration, the team ensures every project meets rigorous grid, safety, and operational standards while creating scalable systems that support fleet-wide growth. Joining this team means shaping the technical backbone of large-scale energy assets and contributing to infrastructure that drives long-term impact.   What You’ll Do   Design and Own SCADA Architecture   Design and review SCADA system architectures for large-scale energy facilities operating in ERCOT and other ISOs. Establish scalable standards for data mapping, alarm management, HMI development, and configuration control. Ensure documentation integrity and version control across project and fleet deployments.   Lead Plant Controls Integration   Develop and troubleshoot SCADA-integrated control logic, including PPC interfaces, active and reactive dispatch, Volt/VAR optimization, and frequency response. Coordinate multi-fuel plant control strategies to ensure seamless operational performance. Integrate plant controls with third-party optimization and asset performance management platforms.   Drive Grid Compliance and Commissioning Excellence   Lead CHIL, FAT, SAT, and on-site commissioning activities to validate performance and grid readiness. Own ERCOT nodal protocol implementation, telemetry standards, and performance validation processes. Partner with ERCOT, TSPs, OEMs, and v
