About the role
Senior-level electrical engineer responsible for design, analysis, and coordination of low-voltage electrical systems for high-density AI data center infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Own electrical design standards and reference architectures for low-voltage systems supporting high-density AI infrastructure.
- Lead design from transformer secondary through switchgear, UPS systems, distribution equipment, busway, and rack-level power delivery.
- Develop architectures for 480V and 415V, AC systems serving GPU clusters and supporting infrastructure.
- Define requirements for low-voltage switchgear, switchboards, UPS systems, static transfer switches, PDUs, RPPs, busway, rack PDUs, grounding, metering, and monitoring.
- Model equipment loads, GPU power behavior, transient demand, harmonics, redundancy, capacity, and electrical failure domains.
- Develop and review single-line diagrams, panel schedules, equipment specifications, sequences of operation, and basis-of-design documents.
- Evaluate greenfield, retrofit, and partner-provided designs for reliability, efficiency, maintainability, constructability, cost, and schedule.
- Perform or oversee load-flow, short-circuit, selective-coordination, arc-flash, voltage-drop, and power-quality studies.
- Coordinate electrical requirements across data center facilities, mechanical systems, HPC architecture, hardware engineering, construction, and operations.
- Support equipment selection, factory testing, construction sequencing, commissioning, integrated systems testing, and root-cause investigations.
- Travel to project sites, manufacturers, and partner facilities as needed.
Qualifications
- Have experience designing low-voltage electrical systems for data centers, mission-critical facilities, or large industrial environments.
- Understand low-voltage distribution, UPS topologies, switchgear, busway, grounding, rack-level distribution, and electrical monitoring.
- Understand redundancy models such as N, N+1, 2N, distributed redundant, and catcher architectures.
- Can develop and review single-line diagrams, equipment specifications, coordination studies, and commissioning documentation.
- Have experience with ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, or comparable electrical analysis software.
- Understand applicable electrical and safety requirements, including NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, and NETA standards.
- Can translate IT equipment requirements into safe, scalable, and maintainable facility designs.
- Communicate clearly across engineering, construction, operations, vendors, and executive stakeholders.
- Hold a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent practical experience.
