About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Perform site walkdowns to verify installed electrical systems against approved designs, single-line diagrams, specifications, submittals, and Lambda standards
Validate equipment ratings, protection settings, phasing, grounding and bonding, terminations, labeling, redundancy, and electrical failure domains
Identify installation deficiencies, design conflicts, and operational risks; document punch-list items and drive them through closure
Review construction test results and witness factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, functional testing, and integrated systems testing
Develop and review energization plans, MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, switching procedures, and electrical safety controls
Support initial energization and troubleshoot substations, transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, busway, PDUs, RPPs, and rack-level distribution
Coordinate with design engineers, engineering partners, utilities, general contractors, electrical trades, equipment manufacturers, commissioning agents, operations, and HPC deployment teams
Confirm electrical capacity, voltage, redundancy, monitoring, and protection are ready before IT equipment is energized
Validate as-built documentation, equipment settings, test reports, commissioning records, and turnover packages before operational handoff
Capture field lessons and incorporate them into Lambda’s design standards, commissioning requirements, and site-validation playbooks
Mentor other engineers and provide senior technical leadership during high-risk energization and bring-up activities

Requirements

What you’ll need

Significant experience delivering, commissioning, or operating electrical systems in data centers, mission-critical facilities, utilities, or large industrial environments
Understanding of medium- and low-voltage distribution, including transformers, switchgear, protective relays, generators, UPS systems, busway, grounding, and rack-level power
Ability to interpret single-line diagrams, equipment submittals, protection studies, relay settings, test reports, and construction documentation
Hands-on experience with site inspections, electrical testing, energization, commissioning, or operational turnover
Understanding of electrical safety, lockout/tagout, energized work controls, and applicable NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, and NETA requirements
Ability to distinguish cosmetic deficiencies from conditions creating material safety, reliability, or operational risk
Ability to make field decisions, escalate critical issues, and coordinate corrective work under schedule pressure
Clear communication with construction teams, engineers, vendors, operators, and senior stakeholders
Willingness to travel extensively and spend extended periods at active construction and commissioning sites
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent practical experience
Nice to have: Experience commissioning hyperscale, colocation, HPC, or AI data centers
Nice to have: Experience supporting first energization and initial IT-load or GPU-cluster bring-up
Nice to have: Familiarity with Level 1–5 commissioning, integrated systems testing, and operational-readiness processes
Nice to have: Experience with protective-relay testing, breaker testing, insulation-resistance testing, power-quality analysis, or infrared inspections
Nice to have: Experience using ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, Procore, Bluebeam, or commissioning-management platforms
Nice to have: Experience investigating electrical failures and leading root-cause analysis
Nice to have: Professional Engineer licensure, commissioning certification, or NETA-related experience
Legally authorized to work in the United States
Ability and willingness to work onsite at the San Francisco office 4 days a week, as stated in the application form
