Electrical Engineer SME - AI Data Centers

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities? The posting includes sections: "Your impact", "About The Role", "Key Contributions" (which includes Technical Leadership & Power Systems, Strategic Impact & Business Development, Mentorship, Standards & Design-Build Delivery). Then "Here's what you'll need" with Education, PE License, Experience, etc. Also "Ideally, You'll Also Have". Then "Work Environment". Then benefits paragraph. Then salary range. Also mention hybrid working policy etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings. We have "About The Role" -> heading About the role. Responsibilities: we have "Key Contributions" which includes Technical Leadership & Power Systems, Strategic Impact & Business Development, Mentorship, Standards & Design-Build Delivery. Those are responsibilities. So we can put a Responsibilities section with

• items summarizing each bullet? Must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to keep details, not summarize away. So we need to list each bullet as
• preserving the text. Could break into multiple
• items. Requirements: Education, PE License, Experience, etc. Also "Here's what you'll need" includes Education, PE License, Experience, Power Systems, Power Analysis Tools, Codes & Standards, Tools & Delivery. Those are requirements. So we can put Requirements section with
  • each bullet. Qualifications: maybe "Ideally, You'll Also Have" could be Qualifications or Skills. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). So we need to decide where to put "Ideally, You'll Also Have". Could be Qualifications or Skills. Since it's "Ideally, You'll Also Have" includes hyperscale clients experience, AI/GPU and energy, Commissioning, Industry presence. Those are additional qualifications/skills. Could put under Qualifications. Skills: maybe we could separate technical skills like tools, standards etc. But we already put those under Requirements. Might be redundant. Better to follow: Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred, Skills for technical skills? However we must not create thin sections. We need to ensure each section has substantive content. We have Benefits paragraph: health, dental, vision, basic life insurance, 401(k), ability to purchase company stock at discount, deferred compensation plan, Executive Deferral Plan, unlimited US Personalized Paid Time Off (PPTO) for full-time salaried/exempt employees, seven paid holidays, caregiver leave, merit increases, performance discretionary bonus, stock. Also mention hybrid working policy? That's work environment. Pay: base salary range $191,300.00 to $263,000.00. Schedule: maybe work environment includes travel 10%-15%, on-call availability, hybrid working policy. Could be Schedule? But schedule heading is for schedule details like full-time, part-time, shift. Not present. Could omit Schedule if no specific schedule info. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We have Pay and Benefits stated. Schedule not explicitly stated; we have work environment with travel %, on-call, hybrid. That's not schedule per se. Could we treat as Schedule? Might be stretching. Better to omit Schedule section. We also need to include any metadata like Job ID etc folded into short p or drop. Not needed. We must remove boilerplate: EEO lines, etc. Remove the EEO paragraph. Also remove "Job posted on May 07, 2025. This position will be open for at least 3 days." etc. Also remove application instructions, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the hybrid working policy statement: "We empower employees with our hybrid working policy, allowing them to split their work week between Jacobs offices/projects and remote locations enabling them to deliver their best work." Also "We value collaboration and believe that in-person interactions are crucial for both our culture and client delivery." That's part of work environment. We need to include Work Environment? Not a heading in list but we could incorporate into Responsibilities? Actually we have a heading list includes Schedule but not Work Environment. Could we put work environment under Responsibilities? Not ideal. Perhaps we can create a "Work Environment" section but not in allowed headings list? The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should use those headings. It says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should limit to those headings. So we need to fit work environment content into one of those. Perhaps under Responsibilities (includes work environment) or under Skills? Better to put under Responsibilities as part of role description. We also have "Primarily office-based with up to 10% - 15% travel to project sites and client locations; on-call availability for active commissioning programs and critical electrical system support." That's work environment. Thus Responsibilities section can include both key contributions and work environment details. Now we need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. Not needed. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

    About the role

    At Jacobs, we never settle — we push boundaries, elevate standards, and deliver with purpose. Power is the foundational constraint of every hyperscale data center program, and the Electrical SME is the technical authority Jacobs and its clients depend on to solve it. You will shape electrical infrastructure strategy from utility interconnection through to IT equipment receptacle — medium-voltage distribution, UPS topology, generator plant design, switchgear paralleling, arc flash safety programs, and the escalating power density demands of AI and GPU-dense compute environments. This role blends deep power systems expertise with client-facing leadership, strategic pursuit involvement, and discipline mentorship across a portfolio of hyperscale and mission-critical programs.

    Responsibilities

    • Technical Leadership & Power Systems: Lead upfront power systems planning with hyperscale clients — defining MV/LV distribution architecture, redundancy strategies (2N, N+1, 2(N+1)), and utility interconnection approaches aligned with owner reliability and sustainability requirements.
    • Drive the full power chain from medium-voltage switchgear through UPS, generator paralleling, transfer switching, PDUs, and busway; lead power systems studies including short-circuit analysis, protective device coordination, arc flash per IEEE 1584, and load flow modeling using ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or equivalent.
    • Champion innovation in power efficiency, BESS integration, renewable energy, and AI/GPU power density scaling to 20–60+ kW per rack; develop and maintain Jacobs' electrical standards, master specifications, and calculation libraries for the data center practice.
