About the role

Design and build air-transportable, power-constrained AI/HPC data centers for expeditionary environments, including MV/LV power distribution, energy storage, generators, and ultra-high-density GPU compute infrastructure integrated with Lattice OS.

Responsibilities

  • Power Distribution and Infrastructure design: Lead end-to-end electrical power design for AI/HPC data centers, including MV distribution, substations, switchgear, UPS systems, BESS, PDUs, busways, and rack-level power delivery for high-density GPU racks.
  • Power High-Density Compute: Engineer power infrastructure for NVIDIA GPU clusters (H100, GB200, etc.), coordinating with liquid cooling, CDUs, and evolving rack power densities.
  • Plan Power Topology: Design and specify utility interconnects, generator plants, ATS, paralleling switchgear, transformers, and backup power topologies (2N, N+1, distributed redundant) to meet Tier III/IV and Uptime Institute standards.
  • Load Analysis & Modeling: Perform short-circuit, arc flash, load flow, and coordination studies using SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower. Develop single-line diagrams, panel schedules, and detailed construction documents.
  • Architect power systems supporting utility-scale requirements in expeditionary environments—integrating generators, energy storage, intelligent distribution, and load management (MW+ scale).
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with mechanical, controls, network, and hardware engineering teams to align electrical design with cooling, structural, and compute deployment plans.
  • Architect a 1MW to 10MW data center microgrid deployments in environments with unreliable grid power to maintain uptime.
  • Design high voltage power systems that meet safety standards for field deployment.
  • Design air-transportable, modular systems (containerized, palletized, vehicle-mounted) that are rapidly deployable and operationally credible.
  • Build infrastructure optimized for austere and contested environments—extreme temperatures, limited grid power, SCIF-accreditable, electromagnetic hardening.
  • Partner with defense customers to translate operational requirements into technical architectures.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or related technical field
  • 5+ years of experience designing and deploying grid scale MV/LV infrastructure
  • Experience with 15kV–35kV MV systems and multi-MW power delivery
  • Experienced in MV/LV distribution, transformers, switchgear, switchboards, generators, UPS systems, batteries, PDUs, RPPs, busway, PSUs, grounding, bonding, and protection systems.
  • Proven track record building and deploying production infrastructure from concept through operational scale
  • Systems thinking ability to optimize across competing constraints (performance, power, thermal, weight, cost, reliability)
  • U.S. Person status required (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee)
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (U.S. citizenship may be required)
  • Must be able to travel up to 15% of the time
