Experience
8+ years

Requirements

  • 8+ years of electrical engineering experience in mission-critical infrastructure or data center environments.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
  • Strong experience designing and reviewing electrical distribution systems and construction documentation.
  • Proficiency in power systems analysis tools such as SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower.
  • Deep understanding of data center power topologies (2N, N+1, distributed redundancy, block redundancy).
  • Experience with high-voltage and medium-voltage electrical systems and equipment specification.
  • Strong knowledge of electrical codes and standards (e.g., NFPA 70/70E, IEEE standards).
  • Experience working with electrical equipment vendors and evaluating technical specifications.
  • Strong communication skills with ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience in prefabricated or modular data center infrastructure is highly desirable.
  • Professional Engineering (PE) license is a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

  • Design, validate, and optimize electrical infrastructure systems for large-scale data centers, ensuring high reliability, efficiency, and scalability across mission-critical environments.
  • Develop and maintain electrical basis of design, reference architectures, and technical standards for data center power distribution systems.
  • Design and review systems including switchgear, UPS, PDUs, busway, and rack-level power delivery infrastructure.
  • Review and approve electrical design packages from external engineering partners and ensure compliance with performance and reliability requirements.
  • Perform detailed power system studies such as short-circuit, load flow, coordination, arc flash, and power quality analysis.
  • Collaborate with hardware, compute, and supply chain teams to align electrical designs with evolving high-density compute requirements.
  • Evaluate and qualify electrical equipment vendors and support multi-supplier strategies to mitigate risk and improve scalability.
  • Drive standardization of electrical designs across multiple data center sites to accelerate deployment and improve consistency.
  • Provide technical oversight during construction, commissioning, and testing phases, resolving field issues and validating system performance.
  • Support innovation in modular and prefabricated electrical solutions to improve deployment speed and efficiency.
