Key Responsibilities

• Review and interpret customer requirements, engineering drawings, plans, and specifications to ensure electrical designs meet contractual and technical intent.
• Lead cross-functional design reviews, coordinating input and alignment from Sales, Manufacturing, and end-user stakeholders.
• Serve as the primary electrical engineering point of contact for hyperscaler data center build programs, including skid and e-house electrical systems.
• Develop, review, and approve electrical schematics, one-line diagrams, panel layouts, and control system designs.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable codes, standards (NEC, IEEE, NEMA, UL), and customer-specific technical requirements.
• Partner with Manufacturing to resolve constructability issues and support design-for-manufacturability initiatives.
• Support Sales and proposal teams with technical scoping, cost estimation input, and risk identification during the bid phase.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior and mid-level electrical engineers.
• Travel to customer sites, manufacturing facilities, and project locations as needed (up to 30%) to support design reviews, site walks, and commissioning support.
• Identify and drive resolution of technical issues arising during design, fabrication, and field deployment.
• Maintain and improve internal design standards, templates, and best practices for electrical engineering deliverables.
