Responsibilities
Develop and maintain electrical designs for modular containerized data centers: single-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, grounding, cable sizing, and raceway layouts across multiple low-voltage distribution standards (480 V and other international LV systems)
Run protective device coordination, arc flash, and short-circuit studies in SKM, ETAP, or equivalent. Produce labels and coordination reports that will be used in the field
Review and redline vendor submittals for UPS systems, battery systems, cooling distribution units, switchgear, main distribution boards, PDUs, and generator/ATS packages. Hold vendors accountable to the spec; flag discrepancies early
Support manufacturing partners: answer RFIs, resolve conflicts on layout and piping/cable routing, and participate in factory witness testing
Contribute to multi-jurisdictional compliance across a range of international electrical, fire, and mission-critical facility codes, and coordinate with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction
Produce clear engineering documentation: Statements of Requirements, design basis memos, block diagrams, and commissioning procedures. If you hate writing, this is not the job
Work alongside mechanical, controls, structural, and fire protection engineers — and with external consultants. You will be expected to push back when something is wrong, regardless of seniority
Support field commissioning and troubleshooting, including occasional international travel to manufacturing partner sites, deployments, and trade events
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited program
3–7 years of post-degree experience in electrical design, with at least 2 years in data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial power, or equivalent complex power distribution
Demonstrated working knowledge of the NEC (NFPA 70) and, ideally, one or more IEC-based national codes. Multi-jurisdictional design experience is a strong plus
Hands-on experience with protection coordination and arc flash software (SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or similar)
Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical and/or Revit MEP, plus Bluebeam Revu (or equivalent) for submittal markup
Familiarity with UPS systems (double-conversion topology, battery sizing, parallel operation), medium- and low-voltage switchgear, transformers, and generator/ATS integration
Ability to read mechanical and structural drawings well enough to catch interdisciplinary conflicts before they hit manufacturing
Clear written communication. You will be writing RFI responses, submittal reviews, and technical memos read by vendors and executives
Preferred
PE or EIT licensure is a plus; neither is required
Experience with containerized or modular/prefabricated data center products
Knowledge of high-density liquid-cooled GPU systems and their electrical implications — inrush, harmonics, rack-level power distribution, busway
Working familiarity with battery chemistries beyond VRLA and lithium-ion, and with UL 9540A or equivalent large-scale battery testing requirements
Familiarity with NFPA 70E, NFPA 75/76, NFPA 110, and NFPA 855 as they apply to mission-critical and energy storage installations
Experience coordinating with multiple AHJs and international insurance bodies on mission-critical approvals
Exposure to BMS/DCIM integration, BACnet/Modbus, and the electrical side of controls handoffs
Experience working with external manufacturing partners and consultants across multiple time zones
