The Hyperscale Datacenter Senior Electrical Engineer is the senior electrical authority forย ON.energy'sย presence at hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and AI-focused data centers. This role is focused on data center electrical engineering, while maintaining utility-interface fluency to translate customer, operator, substation, and site-infrastructure requirements into deployable product requirements, interfaces, and reference electrical designs.ย
Key Responsibilities
Reference Architectures & System Definitionย
- Inform the end-to-end electrical reference architectures forย ON.energyย products across hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and AI factory topologies LVย andย MV distribution, data center substation interfaces, and next-generation 800 Vdc designs.
- Define single-line diagrams, redundancy models, substation interface assumptions, and fault-tolerance strategies for UPS, BESS, PCS, microgrid, and EMS integration.
- Establish and enforce Interface Control Documents (ICDs) between ON.energyย equipment and upstream utility, downstream IT load, and site controls.ย
Requirements Engineeringย
- Own the requirements traceability matrix from customer SOW to system architecture to subsystem to component test.
- Define compliance boundaries against applicable standards such as TIA-942, ASHRAE TC 9.9, and IEC 62040.ย
Customer & Ecosystem Engagementย
- Act as the technical face to hyperscale, colocation, and AI infrastructure customers throughout new product development.
- Lead architecture reviews with project engineering teams, data center operators, and chip / server OEMs.
- Represent ON.energyย in industry workingย groups andย codify insights intoย technologyย roadmaps.ย
Product & Technology Roadmapย
- Inform the architectural roadmap forย ON.energyย product architectures.
- Evaluate emerging DC power distribution, solid-state transformer, and grid-interactive architectures; recommend build / buy / partner strategies.
- Own vendor evaluation and technology partner scorecards from a systems-fit perspective.ย
Experience & Requirements
- Education:ย B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, or related field required. M.S. preferred; PhD acceptableย whereย paired with substantial applied data center electrical design experience.
- Experience:ย 5+ years in data center electrical systems, mission-critical facilities, hyperscale infrastructure, or A&E engineering serving hyperscale / colocation customers.
- Domain Depth:ย Hyperscale and colocation electrical topologies from utility service entrance, data center substation design, MV/LV distribution, UPS and BESS integration, redundancy strategy, fault isolation, and server rack PDU interface requirements.ย
Preferred Experience
- Architected power delivery for AI training clusters (>100 kW / rack, liquid-cooled, coincident load dynamics).
- Prior work as a hyperscaler owner's engineer, colocation infrastructure lead, or MEP principal for mission-critical facilities.
- Published contributions to OCP, Uptime, IEEE PES, or CIGRE.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred, especially whereย paired with hands-on data center, substation, or mission-critical electrical design ownership.
- U.S. Person status, or ability to support DOE / national-lab collaborations where U.S. Person eligibility is required.ย
