[Hiring] Electrical Design Engineer @Armada

Role Description

Armada builds and deploys ruggedized, modular, containerized data centers that bring high-density AI compute to locations where traditional data centers cannot go. We are scaling production across multiple international markets, with deployments ranging from multi-megawatt GPU clusters to large-scale multi-unit campuses at up to 400 kW/rack.

Armada needs an Electrical Design Engineer to work directly under the Senior Electrical Design Engineer on the power and integration team. This is a hands-on design role:

• You will own the electrical design for modular units from single-line through commissioning.
• Review vendor submittals and directly support manufacturing partners and deployment teams across multiple time zones.
• You will not be writing specs from an ivory tower — you will be on calls with manufacturers early in the morning, reviewing arc flash studies at noon, and answering field questions from a commissioning crew in the evening.

This role is for someone who wants to ship hardware, not produce reports.

Location: This role is remote.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited program.
• 3–7 years of post-degree experience in electrical design, with at least 2 years in data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial power, or equivalent complex power distribution.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of the NEC (NFPA 70) and, ideally, one or more IEC-based national codes. Multi-jurisdictional design experience is a strong plus.
• Hands-on experience with protection coordination and arc flash software (SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or similar).
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical and/or Revit MEP, plus Bluebeam Revu (or equivalent) for submittal markup.
• Familiarity with UPS systems (double-conversion topology, battery sizing, parallel operation), medium- and low-voltage switchgear, transformers, and generator/ATS integration.
• Ability to read mechanical and structural drawings well enough to catch interdisciplinary conflicts before they hit manufacturing.
• Clear written communication. You will be writing RFI responses, submittal reviews, and technical memos read by vendors and executives.

Requirements

• Develop and maintain electrical designs for modular containerized data centers: single-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, grounding, cable sizing, and raceway layouts across multiple low-voltage distribution standards (480 V and other international LV systems).
• Run protective device coordination, arc flash, and short-circuit studies in SKM, ETAP, or equivalent. Produce labels and coordination reports that will be used in the field.
• Review and redline vendor submittals for UPS systems, battery systems, cooling distribution units, switchgear, main distribution boards, PDUs, and generator/ATS packages. Hold vendors accountable to the spec; flag discrepancies early.
• Support manufacturing partners: answer RFIs, resolve conflicts on layout and piping/cable routing, and participate in factory witness testing.
• Contribute to multi-jurisdictional compliance across a range of international electrical, fire, and mission-critical facility codes, and coordinate with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
• Produce clear engineering documentation: Statements of Requirements, design basis memos, block diagrams, and commissioning procedures. If you hate writing, this is not the job.
• Work alongside mechanical, controls, structural, and fire protection engineers — and with external consultants. You will be expected to push back when something is wrong, regardless of seniority.
• Support field commissioning and troubleshooting, including occasional international travel to manufacturing partner sites, deployments, and trade events.

Benefits

• Competitive base salary and equity
• Medical, dental, and vision (subsidized cost)
• Health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and dependent care FSAs (DCFSA)
• Retirement plan options, including 401(k) and Roth 401(k)
• Unlimited paid time off (PTO)
• 14 paid company holidays per year
