About the role

We are seeking a senior electrical leader to own and scale the electrical systems strategy for a rapidly growing hyperscale data center product platform. This role is responsible for transforming complex electrical infrastructure into a repeatable, manufacturable, and high-performance product that can be deployed predictably across mission-critical environments.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to help build something that doesn’t exist yet — a repeatable, high-performance electrical platform designed for hyperscale environments. Rather than managing one project at a time, you’ll shape a system that will be manufactured, deployed, and improved across multiple large-scale data center programs.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end electrical scope for the hyperscale product line

  • Influence electrical architecture, distribution strategy, and redundancy approach

  • Ensure alignment between product intent, manufacturability, and field performance

  • Drive standardization and repeatability across deployments

  • Push complexity out of field execution into controlled design and prefab environments

  • Partner with manufacturing engineering to support takt-based production

  • Influence panelization strategy, grounding systems, lighting/controls, and mission-critical interfaces

  • Support component standardization and sourcing strategy

  • Ensure clean handoff between product design and construction execution

  • Provide hands-on leadership during early deployments

  • Translate field performance data into structured product improvements

  • Reduce variability and rework over time

  • Build and lead a dedicated electrical team (PM, Designer, Manufacturing SME, Construction Lead)

  • Establish operating rhythms, accountability, and performance expectations

  • Develop team capability to scale with product growth

  • Drive cross-functional alignment across Product, Platform, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Construction

  • Maintain accountability for electrical cost and margin performance

  • Identify opportunities for cost reduction through standardization and design optimization

  • Support predictable, margin-positive deployments

Required Qualifications

  • 12+ years of experience in commercial, industrial, or mission-critical electrical systems

  • Demonstrated ownership of complex electrical scope from design through deployment

  • Experience managing large electrical budgets and/or margin performance

  • Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA, grounding and bonding, and power distribution systems

  • Hands-on experience with switchgear, generators, UPS systems, and utility coordination

  • Ability to interpret one-line diagrams, electrical drawings, and specifications

  • Proven leadership across design, manufacturing integration, and field execution

Preferred Qualifications

  • Data center or other high-reliability environment experience

  • Exposure to prefabrication, modular construction, or productized delivery models

  • Experience in takt-based or manufacturing-driven construction environments

  • Background in mission-critical redundancy architectures

  • Experience integrating commissioning considerations into design and deployment

Work Environment

Based in Birmingham, AL
Approximately 55–65% onsite presence required
Travel to active deployment sites as needed

Compensation

This is a senior product-level leadership role offering:
Competitive base salary
Performance-based annual bonus tied to measurable product outcomes
Long-term incentive opportunity for sustained impact
Significant growth runway aligned to hyperscale portfolio expansion
