About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Develop and maintain electrical designs for modular containerized data centers, including single-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, grounding, cable sizing, and raceway layouts across multiple low-voltage distribution standards.
  • Run protective device coordination, arc flash, and short-circuit studies in SKM, ETAP, or equivalent; produce field labels and coordination reports.
  • Review and redline vendor submittals for UPS systems, battery systems, cooling distribution units, switchgear, main distribution boards, PDUs, and generator/ATS packages.
  • Support manufacturing partners by answering RFIs, resolving layout and piping/cable-routing conflicts, and participating in factory witness testing.
  • Contribute to multi-jurisdictional compliance across international electrical, fire, and mission-critical facility codes, coordinating with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
  • Produce Statements of Requirements, design basis memos, block diagrams, and commissioning procedures.
  • Collaborate with mechanical, controls, structural, and fire protection engineers and external consultants.
  • Support field commissioning and troubleshooting, including occasional international travel to manufacturing partner sites, deployments, and trade events.
  • Work directly under the Senior Electrical Design Engineer on the power and integration team.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • US Citizen
  • 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.
  • PE or EIT licensure is a plus; neither is required.
  • Preferred experience with containerized or modular/prefabricated data center products.
  • Preferred knowledge of high-density liquid-cooled GPU systems and their electrical implications — inrush, harmonics, rack-level power distribution, busway.
  • Preferred familiarity with battery chemistries beyond VRLA and lithium-ion, and with UL 9540A or equivalent large-scale battery testing requirements.
  • Preferred familiarity with NFPA 70E, NFPA 75/76, NFPA 110, and NFPA 855 as they apply to mission-critical and energy storage installations.
  • Preferred experience coordinating with multiple AHJs and international insurance bodies on mission-critical approvals.
  • Preferred exposure to BMS/DCIM integration, BACnet/Modbus, and the electrical side of controls handoffs.
  • Preferred experience working with external manufacturing partners and consultants across multiple time zones.
