Job description
Job Information
Location: 10920 West Sam Houston Parkway North, Suite 100, Houston, TX, 77064, United States
Employee Type: Full Time Exempt
Amogy 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 Summary
We 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 Responsibilities
Define and own the electrical architecture for integrated ammonia‑to‑power systems, including generation, BESS, power conversion, and grid interface
Architect 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 requirements
Lead electrical integration across mechanical, process, and controls systems, establishing clear system boundaries and interfaces
Own design of power distribution, protection schemes, grounding, and interconnection strategy
Drive key tradeoffs across performance, responsiveness, efficiency, cost, and reliability at the system level
Establish 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 resolution
Define scalable, modular architectures that reduce dependency on custom EPC‑driven engineering
Act as the company’s primary electrical SME and help build internal capabilities over time
Required Qualifications
BS in Electrical Engineering
10–15+ years designing and deploying complex power or energy systems
Deep expertise in power distribution (LV/MV/HV), power electronics & conversion systems, grid interconnection and protection schemes
Experience integrating multi‑disciplinary systems (mechanical, controls, process)
Proven experience owning system‑level electrical architecture, not just subsystems
Strongly Preferred
Experience 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 systems
Exposure to industrial, marine, or off‑grid applications
Experience working with certification bodies (UL, IEC, DNV, ABS)
Balance of hands‑on and architectural work
What We Offer
Competitive Medical, Dental & Vision Care
FSA and HSA
401(k) with 5% company match
Life insurance
Flexible (PTO)
Ancillary Benefits
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Open, supportive culture of drive and execution
