What We’re Building Candid is building the AI layer for EPCs. We use AI to reduce the manual effort behind preconstruction engineering by automating document understanding, consistency checks, and repetitive workflow steps across major disciplines. Our goal is to make preconstruction 10x faster without sacrificing engineering quality. We recently raised $6.5M from top AI and industrial investors (including Schneider Electric and Meta’s Chief AI Scientist). Our team includes engineers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon, major LNG and power projects, and leading EPCs. This Role We're hiring a senior electrical engineer who has actually delivered power generation and gas-to-power projects at a top EPC, PMC, owner-operator, or utility. Think combined cycle, simple cycle and peakers, gas-to-power for data centers and behind-the-meter campuses, LNG, and cogeneration, including the switchyard and grid interconnection. If your career has been refining or petrochem electrical with no power work, this isn't the right fit. This is a hands-on role. You'll do real electrical engineering on our delivery work for the parts our software can't handle yet, you'll be the quality check on what the software does produce, and you'll shape where the product goes next. Three jobs in one, and the mix shifts as the product gets better. What You'll Do This is hands-on engineering plus product. Day to day you'll: * Do real electrical engineering on our FEL-2 and early-phase delivery work, owning the parts our software can't handle yet so projects ship * Be the quality gate on Candid's automated electrical outputs: catch what's wrong before it reaches a client, and feed it back so the product gets sharper * Define how electrical scope gets developed and validated through FEED on power and gas-to-power projects, and what "good" looks like * Review and validate electrical deliverables across early-phase packages: single-lines, load lists, transformer and switchgear sizing, distribution architecture, grounding * Build repeatable checks that catch inconsistencies across load assumptions, equipment requirements, and package interfaces * Map where electrical rework happens, why it happens, and what inputs drive it * Clarify interface points with Mechanical, Process, Instrumentation, and the grid interconnection * Separate the steps that are genuinely repetitive from the ones that need real engineering judgment You'll help define the checks, workflows, and product requirements that let software take on the repetitive parts, with engineers in control. What We're Looking For * 7+ years at a large scale EPC, PMC, owner-operator, or utility, with most of it on power generation or gas-to-power * Direct experience on combined cycle, simple cycle, gas-to-power, LNG, or cogeneration projects (not refining or petrochem only) * You've personally owned single-line diagram and electrical load list development through FEED * Strong on power system architecture: GSU and station service transformers, MV/LV switchgear, MCCs, distribution, grounding * Hands-on with power system study tools: ETAP, SKM PowerTools, EasyPower, PSS/E, or similar (load flow, short circuit, coordination, arc flash) * Working knowledge of NEC/NFPA 70, IEEE, NESC, NERC, and IEC * Familiarity with grid interconnection and the switchyard interface * You spot inconsistencies across load lists, single-lines, and vendor packages fast * Clear understanding of cross-discipline dependencies * You've felt boxed in by big-company process and you want out * Comfortable with ambiguity and wearing multiple hats; bias to action over waiting for perfect Nice to Have * Discipline lead or technical authority experience * Work on data center or behind-the-meter power campuses * Brownfield tie-ins and constrained or islanded power systems * Protection and relaying philosophy, or interconnection study experience * Real interest in AI and automation Who Thrives Here You've outgrown the big-firm machine. You're tired of waiting three weeks for a markup to clear four layers of review, and tired of watching good work die in a stage gate. You want to own your scope end to end, see what you build actually ship, and have a direct line to the founders and the product instead of a 12-person approval chain. At Candid you'll wear several hats and there's no playbook handing you a defined lane. If that sounds like freedom, you'll love it here. If it sounds like chaos, you won't, and that's okay. Perks * Meaningful base + equity * Unlimited PTO. Great work needs recharging. * Health insurance covering medical, dental, and vision * Up to $150/mo health and wellness reimbursement (gym, fitness classes, and similar)
