About the role

Meta seeks a Data Center Electrical Engineer (SME) to own power system engineering for next-generation, high-power compute platforms within a large-scale data center. The role focuses on advanced electrical modeling, system-level troubleshooting, and long-term technical strategy to ensure capacity, availability, and efficiency in Meta’s data centers.

Responsibilities

  • Hold comprehensive technical ownership for the power system engineering of next-generation, high-power compute platforms across the full product lifecycle
  • Drive extensive system investigations into power and electrical stability across multiple generations of high-power rack systems in a data center setting
  • Lead the production of critical safety and design deliverables, including protection and safety design and analysis for High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) distribution systems
  • Utilize electrical modeling and simulation tools to analyze rack and row-level power distribution components such as busways, tap-off boxes, power distribution units, capacitors, and batteries
  • Perform complex system-level modeling, including harmonic and impedance analysis across large-scale data center sites, to proactively mitigate design and deployment risks
  • Lead advanced electrical troubleshooting efforts, such as root cause analysis for switching transients, ground fault issues, and component failures across live data center infrastructure
  • Participate in studies regarding the impact of next-generation AI workload power characteristics on power quality and grid stability
  • Provide subject matter expertise and technical guidance to cross-functional teams on HVDC distribution technology, hardware design optimization, and AC input protection systems
  • Ability to travel to vendor/design partner locations and data center sites for verification/validation testing of electrical systems technologies and products

Qualifications

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering with focus on Power Systems Design, or a related technical field
  • 7+ years of experience in electrical or power system engineering, including design, modeling, or validation testing for critical infrastructure
  • Experience within hyperscale data centers, high-power hardware development, or similar critical infrastructure environments
  • Expertise in advanced modeling (e.g., electromagnetic, AI and non-AI loads, etc.) techniques for complex data center hardware designs
  • Relevant experience and expertise in electrical power simulation software - e.g., ETAP, EMTP, PSSE, PSCAD, EasyPower, Powerworld, Matlab Simulink, etc
  • Track record of troubleshooting and root cause isolation in complex electrical systems
  • Experience leading electrical component/equipment deployment, testing, and failure analysis across multiple complex hardware programs
  • Experience applying structured troubleshooting and analytical methods to diagnose and resolve complex electrical system issues
  • Experience presenting technical findings and recommendations to cross-functional engineering and leadership audiences
