About the role
- Own the design and validation of full-scope electrical systems, including utility tie-in, transformer, switchgear, UPS, PDUs, and rack-level power distribution.
- Develop and maintain single-line diagrams, load flow and short-circuit studies, and arc-flash/coordination analyses. Create and review CAD markups (AutoCAD Electrical, Revit MEP) to ensure design accuracy and cross-discipline alignment.
- Apply and enforce OCP (Open Compute Project) standards for power delivery, rack busways, ORV3 power shelves, and open-rack architecture.
- Interface with utilities, land development engineers, and contractors to validate interconnects, metering, and compliance.

- Proficiency in AutoCAD Electrical, Revit MEP, and power modeling tools such as SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower.
- Comprehensive knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE 1100, and UL standards.
- Proven experience with grounding/bonding, fault-current coordination, and power redundancy design.
- Excellent cross-functional communication and documentation skills.
