About the role

Responsibilities

  • Own electrical design of modular and prefabricated power infrastructure for data centers: switchgear skids, modular electrical rooms, and modular data centers.
  • Apply design-for-manufacturability principles - standardization, tolerances, transportation and rigging constraints, factory workflows - so modules are repeatable, testable, and fast to deploy.
  • Develop and maintain standard designs, specifications, and configuration control for the modular product line, integrating lessons learned across deployments.
  • Support site integration and commissioning of modular solutions, feeding field findings back into product revisions.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
  • 7+ years of electrical engineering experience, including data center or other mission-critical facilities.
  • Strong background designing modular electrical solutions for data centers - e-houses, skids, prefabricated electrical rooms, or packaged power equipment.
  • Solid working knowledge of the data center power chain: MV/LV distribution, switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, ATS, and Busway systems.
  • Demonstrated design-for-manufacturability experience: designing equipment or assemblies for factory production rather than field-built construction.
  • Experience working directly with equipment manufacturers, including design reviews and factory acceptance testing.

Nice-to-Haves

  • BIM/VDC proficiency (Revit, Navisworks, clash detection) and prefabrication planning experience.
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license.
  • Prior experience at a hyperscale data center operator, modular infrastructure manufacturer, or packaged power solutions provider.
  • Exposure to quality systems and production engineering (ITPs, first-article inspection, NCR processes).

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity).
  • Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
  • The base salary range for this position is $200,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.
