About the Role:

The Electrical Engineer designs and integrates electrical power distribution systems for modular solutions serving mission-critical data centers and industrial markets (oil & gas, renewables/BESS, mining, and utility). You will take ownership of electrical scope on projects of moderate to high complexity, coordinating interfaces across switchgear/switchboards, transformers, protection, ATS, UPS systems, batteries, grounding, and auxiliary systems. This role partners closely with mechanical, controls, manufacturing, and field teams to deliver safe, code-compliant, manufacturable modular systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop one-lines, three-lines (as required), and overall power architectures for modular E-Houses and skids (MV and LV).
• Size and specify major equipment (switchgear/switchboards, transformers, bus duct/busway interfaces, breakers, fuses, metering, power quality components).
• Perform equipment sizing studies and calculations as applicable (load summaries, short circuit, protective device coordination inputs, arc-flash data inputs, voltage drop where required).
• Define grounding and bonding strategy, including interfaces to skid/baseframe and site grounding systems.
• Specify and integrate ATS and UPS systems including bypass/maintenance arrangements, redundancy philosophies (N, N+1, 2N), and operational modes.
• Coordinate electrical interfaces for battery systems supporting UPS and/or energy storage (DC distribution, battery cabinets/racks, disconnects, monitoring, and safety interfaces).
• Define interlocks and control interfaces (alarms, permissives, trips, emergency power off) in coordination with controls/protection teams.
• Develop schematics and wiring concepts for auxiliary power, controls power, lighting, receptacles, and panelboards within the module.
• Coordinate with mechanical/fire systems for power and signal interfaces (HVAC units, dampers, detection/suppression releasing panels, ventilation shutdowns).
• Support compliance activities as required (UL/NRTL, customer standards, IEC interfaces when applicable) and coordinate with suppliers on documentation.
• Produce and/or review electrical drawing packages (one-lines, schematics, layouts, interconnect diagrams, cable schedules) and support BOM development.
• Support FAT/SAT and commissioning activities; troubleshoot electrical issues and drive corrective actions.

Qualifications:

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
• Minimum of 4 years of experience designing industrial or mission-critical power distribution systems (data center experience strongly preferred).
• Hands-on experience with one-line creation and electrical system integration across switchgear/switchboards, protection, and controls interfaces.
• Working knowledge of U.S. electrical codes/standards relevant to the work (e.g., NEC/NFPA 70, NFPA 70E; familiarity with IEEE/NEMA/UL practices as applicable).
• Proficiency with common engineering tools (SolidWorks Electrical & AutoCAD Electrical; Microsoft Excel; exposure to ETAP/SKM/EasyPower or similar is a plus).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with MV equipment (e.g., 5kV-35kV class) and/or packaged substations and E-Houses.
• Experience with UPS topologies, maintenance bypass schemes, and data center redundancy design.
• Familiarity with protective relay selection/settings coordination workflows and metering/SCADA integration.
• Experience supporting UL/NRTL listings or major customer compliance programs for modular power equipment.
• PE license or EIT with path to licensure.

Physical Requirements:

• Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds at a time.
• Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
