• Design and deliver electrical systems for hyperscale data centers, including medium- and low-voltage power distribution, backup power, and emergency systems.
• Prepare and maintain electrical schematics, bills of materials, and construction / installation drawings.
• Ensure all designs comply with applicable codes and standards, including the National Electrical Code (NEC) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) requirements.
• Partner with engineers and key stakeholders to define technical specifications, design criteria, and project budgets.
• Provide electrical design oversight throughout the full data center lifecycle, from early concept through commissioning, ensuring systems meet performance, reliability, and energy-efficiency goals.
• Lead and manage large-scale, multi-site projects across multiple regions, delivering electrical engineering solutions on schedule.
• Work closely with mechanical, architectural, structural, network, controls, and operations teams to seamlessly integrate electrical systems with overall data center infrastructure.
• Track emerging technologies and industry trends in data center electrical engineering, with an emphasis on energy efficiency, resilience, and future scalability.
• Support field engineering and commissioning teams to test, validate, and verify proper installation, operation, and performance of electrical systems and equipment.
• Develop and edit electrical specifications, and support the selection of equipment, systems, and devices.
• Establish and continuously improve electrical design standards and guidelines to ensure consistency, reliability, and efficiency across all data center projects.
• Review Low Voltage (LV), medium voltage collection systems (MVac/MVdc), interconnection, and also substation system designs (HVac/HVdc) for data center, solar, and energy storage projects
• Optimize project designs by drawing upon knowledge of LV, MV collection, transformers, switching, relaying, back-up power, and substation design including best practices, specifications, cost, efficiency, code compliance, performance, and reliability
• Work with data center clients to understand their project specific requirements around reliability, growth increments, capex and opex optimizations, sustainability, construction schedules, and future flexibility.
• Attend design meetings with other team members (internal and external) and lead electrical discussion in the meetings.
• Manage schematic, design development, and contract document work sessions in conjunction with the Project Manager, Project Architect, and other disciplines.
• Provide technical review and guidance on equipment selection and approved vendor list
• Support data center O&M team with technical knowledge and troubleshooting
• Design and manage the data center white space, including rack layout, hot/cold containment, network infrastructure, branch circuit distribution, power requirements, cable pathways, and projected build phases.
• Participate in the development of data center facilities requirements documentation.
• Research and evaluate new designs, materials, and construction methods for data center electrical and mechanical equipment and related components.
• Participate in project coordination meetings and clearly communicate necessary or recommended updates to project scheduling.
