Data Center Electrical Engineer

Accountabilities:

In this role, you will design, validate, and optimize electrical infrastructure systems for large-scale data centers, ensuring high reliability, efficiency, and scalability across mission-critical environments.

• Develop and maintain electrical basis of design, reference architectures, and technical standards for data center power distribution systems.

• Design and review systems including switchgear, UPS, PDUs, busway, and rack-level power delivery infrastructure.

• Review and approve electrical design packages from external engineering partners and ensure compliance with performance and reliability requirements.

• Perform detailed power system studies such as short-circuit, load flow, coordination, arc flash, and power quality analysis.

• Collaborate with hardware, compute, and supply chain teams to align electrical designs with evolving high-density compute requirements.

• Evaluate and qualify electrical equipment vendors and support multi-supplier strategies to mitigate risk and improve scalability.

• Drive standardization of electrical designs across multiple data center sites to accelerate deployment and improve consistency.

• Provide technical oversight during construction, commissioning, and testing phases, resolving field issues and validating system performance.

• Support innovation in modular and prefabricated electrical solutions to improve deployment speed and efficiency.

Requirements:

This role requires deep expertise in electrical engineering for mission-critical facilities, particularly within large-scale data center or high-availability environments.

• 8+ years of electrical engineering experience in mission-critical infrastructure or data center environments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.

• Strong experience designing and reviewing electrical distribution systems and construction documentation.

• Proficiency in power systems analysis tools such as SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower.

• Deep understanding of data center power topologies (2N, N+1, distributed redundancy, block redundancy).

• Experience with high-voltage and medium-voltage electrical systems and equipment specification.

• Strong knowledge of electrical codes and standards (e.g., NFPA 70/70E, IEEE standards).

• Experience working with electrical equipment vendors and evaluating technical specifications.

• Strong communication skills with ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Experience in prefabricated or modular data center infrastructure is highly desirable.

• Professional Engineering (PE) license is a plus but not required.

Benefits:

• Competitive annual salary ranging from $320,000 to $405,000

• Equity or performance-based compensation opportunities (where applicable)

• Fully remote or flexible hybrid work model depending on role requirements

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge, large-scale AI and compute infrastructure

• High-impact engineering role shaping next-generation data center architecture

• Collaborative, technically advanced, and mission-driven environment

• Strong emphasis on innovation, ownership, and engineering excellence

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance (typical of senior engineering roles)

• Generous paid time off and family leave policies
