Senior Electrical Engineer – Data Centers

This is a full-time exempt (40+ hours/week), field-based role requiring 100% travel to project sites across the United States.

Summary

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to provide technical leadership and oversight for the design and deployment of large-scale, mission-critical data center electrical infrastructure. This role focuses on the complete electrical power delivery chain—from medium-voltage utility interconnections and distribution systems through low-voltage architectures and rack-level power delivery.

The successful candidate will serve as a technical authority across multiple projects, ensuring electrical designs meet performance, reliability, scalability, and code compliance requirements. This position will play a critical role in establishing engineering standards, reviewing complex electrical systems, and maintaining design consistency across a rapidly expanding portfolio of hyperscale and AI-focused data center developments.

Given the highly field-oriented nature of this position, extensive travel is required to support project execution, design reviews, commissioning activities, and stakeholder coordination across multiple sites.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical oversight and review of electrical system designs across the full data center power distribution chain
• Evaluate and guide designs for:
  • Medium-voltage distribution systems
  • Low-voltage distribution systems
  • UPS architectures
  • Switchgear and power distribution equipment
  • Rack-level power delivery infrastructure
• Ensure electrical designs comply with applicable codes, standards, and engineering best practices
• Review electrical topologies and provide recommendations based on reliability, redundancy, maintainability, and operational requirements
• Develop and maintain engineering standards, specifications, and design guidelines for data center electrical infrastructure
• Support multidisciplinary design reviews and coordinate with mechanical, controls, commissioning, and operations teams
• Identify design risks and implement solutions that improve resiliency, efficiency, and constructability
• Support commissioning, startup, and operational readiness activities for new facilities
• Conduct site visits, engineering assessments, and technical audits across active project locations
• Maintain technical consistency across multiple concurrent projects and deployments
• Collaborate with consultants, contractors, vendors, and internal stakeholders throughout project lifecycles
• Support continuous improvement initiatives related to electrical infrastructure and operational performance

Our Ideal Candidate

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent combination of education and applicable industry experience
• 8+ years of experience designing electrical systems for data centers, mission-critical facilities, or large-scale industrial infrastructure
• Experience supporting the full electrical power chain from utility service through rack-level delivery
• Previous experience working for:
  • Hyperscale cloud providers
  • Mission-critical engineering firms
  • Large-scale infrastructure organizations supporting hyperscale environments
• Strong understanding of common data center electrical topologies, including:
  • 2N
  • N+1
  • Catcher Bus
  • Distributed Redundant
• Ability to evaluate the benefits, limitations, and operational trade-offs associated with each topology
• Experience reviewing complex electrical designs and enforcing engineering standards
• Strong understanding of electrical reliability, redundancy, and operational resilience principles
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to work independently while supporting multiple concurrent projects
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively (100%)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting high-density compute environments, including:
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Machine Learning (ML)
  • High Performance Computing (HPC)
• Familiarity with electrical requirements supporting GPU-intensive workloads
• Experience with:
  • Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS)
  • Building Management Systems (BMS)
  • Liquid cooling electrical infrastructure
• Knowledge of ASHRAE TC 9.9 guidelines and mission-critical thermal design considerations
• Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred or ability to obtain licensure within 18 months
• Experience with electrical system modeling, analysis, and design software
• Familiarity with industry standards including:
  • NEC (NFPA 70)
  • TIA-942
  • NFPA 110
  • IEEE 446
  • NFPA 70E
  • IEEE 1584

Compensation & Benefits

• The pay for this W-2 position ranges from $96.15 – $120.19 per hour
• Medical Coverage: Two United Healthcare plans (PPO and HDHP with HSA), with employer contributions toward premiums; coverage begins the 1st of the month after 60 days of employment
• Dental & Vision: United Healthcare dental with 100% preventive care coverage and vision benefits for exams, frames, lenses, or contacts
• Wellbeing Support: Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offering confidential counseling plus additional wellness and care navigation resources
• Retirement & Savings: 401(k) eligible after 30 days with automatic 6% enrollment (opt-out available), 1% annual increases up to 10%, plus HSA with up to $480 employer contribution
• Voluntary Benefits: Employee-paid accident insurance and critical illness coverage for major health events
