What will you do?

• Lead the end-to-end integration and testing of rack electrical solutions, including high/low voltage systems (AC/DC), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and power distribution units (PDUs).
• Participate in customer engagements and site visits to understand and document deployment constraints and gather feedback for design improvements.
• Build accurate rack power budgets and model electrical capacity for both current and future high-density server or switch configurations.
• Manage relationships with electrical/power component vendors to build out a robust partner ecosystem.
• Ensure all rack designs meet safety and certification requirements such as NEC/NFPA, IEEE, and UL/IEC.
• Design, review, or integrate rack PDUs and power-distribution components, including breaker configurations, metering, and load-balancing features.
• Perform detailed failure-mode analysis, including FMEA and root-cause investigations for electrical defects or field issues.
• Define, validate, and improve factory electrical test strategies, including continuity testing, sequencing, load testing, and safety verification.
• Be highly proficient in developing, updating, and interpreting electrical one-line diagrams for rack-level and row-level power architectures.
• Collaborate with Architects/Compliance/Reliability and global vendors to align electrical architectures with total system design and international data center/power standards.
• Develop and maintain design documentation including BOMs, specifications, test plans, and engineering change orders (ECOs).
• Conduct root cause analysis and corrective actions for electrical failures or field issues.
• May perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field is required.
• Minimum of 7+ years of experience in electrical systems integration.
• 3+ years of specific experience in rack-scale electrical/power design and analysis.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, integration strategies, and large-scale program management.
• Familiarity with server design (EIA-310, OCP/ORV3), 48V DC busbar connections, power plugs/receptacles, and power cable routing.
• Proficiency in electrical tools and simulations (e.g. AutoCAD, Ansys, PSpice, SCADA, DCIM, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with electrical safety tests such as hi-pot, ground-bond, leakage current, and continuity checks.
• Excellent English communication skills (verbal and written) with strong technical leadership capabilities.

Requirements

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Creative, self-motivated, accountable, and team-oriented.
• Able to work independently with minimal oversight.
• Capable of assessing projects, articulating risks, and developing project milestones.

• Capable of influencing others and sharing best practices.
• Familiar with stage-gate processes in project lifecycle management (PLCM).
• Ability to travel both domestically and internationally up to 30%.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering or related field is preferred.
• Experience designing electrical power systems for data centers, telecom, or industrial power/cooling products.
• Provide technical leadership by establishing long-term electrical design standards, documentation, and best practices for rack engineering teams.
• Translate one-line diagrams into factory-ready build documentation ensuring manufacturing teams can safely and consistently execute the electrical design during prototype builds and production ramp.
• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred.
• Generate cable layouts to minimize EMI/EMC issues in dense computing environments.
• Hands-on experience with prototype fabrication and testing; experience working with global suppliers and contract manufacturers a plus.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, Prescription Drug, and Vision Insurance with HRA and HSA options.
• 401K Match.
• Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
• Paid Time Off.
• Tuition Reimbursement.
