Electrical Engineer, Data Center Design


Location: Remote (US)

Salary: $200,000 – $270,000 per year, plus equity

Type: Full-time


The role

A hyperscale data center developer with one of the most active build pipelines in the US is hiring an Electrical Engineer to provide technical oversight across a growing portfolio of large-scale data center projects. You will own the full power delivery chain from utility feed through to rack level, ensuring design quality and code compliance across a rapidly scaling multi-site programme.


This is not a standard design consultancy role. You are inside the developer, setting the standards, holding external engineers accountable, and making the calls that shape how gigawatts of compute infrastructure gets powered.


What you will be doing

  • Provide technical oversight of end-to-end electrical designs across large-scale hyperscale data centers covering the full power distribution chain from MV distribution through LV topologies to rack level
  • Ensure design quality, code compliance, and alignment with internal electrical standards across all projects
  • Contribute to the development of internal design standards, specifications, and best practices
  • Review and challenge electrical design decisions made by external consultants
  • Apply working knowledge of major data center electrical topologies including 2N, N+1, catcher bus, and distributed-redundant configurations
  • Drive consistency across a rapidly growing multi-site portfolio


What we need from you

  • 8 or more years of electrical engineering experience in data centers or mission-critical facilities with exposure to the full power delivery chain
  • Prior experience at a hyperscale operator or a major mission-critical design firm working on hyperscale projects
  • Solid understanding of data center electrical topologies and the trade-offs between them
  • Familiarity with NEC (NFPA 70), TIA-942, NFPA 110, IEEE 446, NFPA 70E, and IEEE 1584


Good to have

  • Experience with high-density AI and HPC environments and the electrical demands of GPU-heavy workloads
  • EPMS/BMS integration and liquid cooling electrical distribution experience
  • PE license preferred, or ability to obtain within 18 months
  • Revit MEP, AutoCAD Electrical, ETAP, SKM PowerTools, Bluebeam


Compensation and benefits

  • $200,000 – $270,000 per year DOE, plus equity
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Retirement plan
  • Generous PTO
