Remote work considered from Austin, TX. Full-time position requiring 10+ years of experience.

About AGI Advanced Giga Inc.

AGI Advanced Giga Inc. designs, fabricates, and deploys modular data center infrastructure for hyperscale operators. Our flagship products—the MDH (Modular Data Hall), MTCS (Modular Technology Cooling System), and MES (Modular Energy Server)—are factory-built, tested, and commissioned before leaving our facility. We are an engineering-led manufacturer owning the full lifecycle: design, fabrication, controls integration, factory acceptance testing, delivery, and on-site commissioning. Our clients include the largest cloud infrastructure providers globally. We are a small, high-impact team where decisions directly shape outcomes on programs worth tens of millions of dollars.

About the role

AGI is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to own the electrical design of our modular infrastructure products—from single-line diagrams through stamped construction documents and UL/ETL certification packages. You will be the engineering authority on medium and low voltage power distribution systems serving critical infrastructure. This role requires executing your own designs in Revit when needed. Your PE stamp will carry weight, and you must have an NCEES record allowing licensure in additional states as projects require.

Responsibilities

  • Design medium and low voltage power distribution systems—transformers, switchgear, automatic transfer switches, UPS systems, busway distribution, bus plugs, panelboards, and downstream branch circuits.
  • Develop single-line diagrams, panel schedules, load calculations, short circuit and arc flash studies, coordination studies, and protective device settings.
  • Produce stamped electrical construction documents—plans, elevations, details, schedules, and specifications ready for permitting, fabrication, and certification.
  • Execute electrical designs in Revit when needed—route cable tray and conduit, place electrical equipment, build panel schedules, and produce drawing sheets directly from the model.
  • Lead UL/ETL certification efforts on the electrical discipline—prepare documentation packages, coordinate with listing agencies, support factory inspections.
  • Specify and select major electrical equipment—transformers (dry type, cast coil, MV), switchgear, UPS systems, PDUs, RPPs, busway (Starline and similar), protective devices.
  • Perform or manage arc flash hazard analysis, short circuit calculations, and protective device coordination to ensure selective coordination across the power distribution chain.
  • Review and coordinate with controls engineering on interface points—VFD communications, BMS integration, metering, and monitoring system requirements.
  • Evaluate and incorporate applicable codes and standards—NEC, NFPA 70E, NFPA 75, NFPA 855, IEEE standards, local building codes, and client-specific electrical requirements.
  • Coordinate with mechanical and structural disciplines on equipment placement, structural loading, thermal management, clearances, and NEC Article 110 working space.
  • Support factory acceptance testing (FAT) and on-site commissioning of electrical systems.
  • Review third-party engineering deliverables for compliance with AGI standards.
  • Manage your workload across multiple concurrent programs without constant oversight.

Requirements

  • Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Electrical Engineering with an active NCEES record allowing comity licensure in additional states.
  • 10+ years of electrical engineering experience with significant focus on medium voltage (up to 35kV) and low voltage power distribution system design.
  • Direct experience designing power distribution for data centers, mission-critical facilities, or advanced manufacturing environments.
  • Working proficiency in Revit—routing cable tray and conduit, placing and connecting electrical equipment, creating schedules, and producing drawing sheets.
  • Experience with UPS systems—both battery-based (lithium-ion and VRLA) and rotary/flywheel topologies—including sizing, integration, and maintenance bypass configurations.
  • Thorough understanding of busway distribution systems (Starline, Siemens, ABB, or equivalent)—sizing, tap-off configurations, bus plug selection.
  • Proficiency with power system analysis tools—SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or equivalent.
  • Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, NFPA 75, NFPA 855, IEEE standards (including 1584 arc flash).
  • Experience specifying and coordinating major electrical equipment procurement.
  • Ability to manage your own workload across multiple concurrent projects without constant oversight.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with modular or prefabricated electrical systems—factory-built power distribution modules, skidded switchgear, packaged electrical solutions.
  • Experience with UL 508A, UL 891, UL 1558, UL 67, or UL 3223 listing processes.
  • Familiarity with Revit MEP Fabrication Parts and/or Families for electrical systems.
  • Experience designing to hyperscale data center operator specifications (AWS, Google, Microsoft, Meta).
  • Knowledge of energy storage systems (BESS) including battery management systems, thermal runaway protection, and NFPA 855 compliance.
  • Experience with Dynamo or other Revit automation tools for electrical design workflows.
  • Familiarity with commissioning processes for critical power systems—NETA testing, ANSI/NETA ATS procedures, Cx documentation.
  • Background in power quality analysis—harmonics, power factor correction, transient voltage surge suppression.

Benefits

  • Base salary: $150,000 - $190,000.
  • Ownership of your domain—you are the electrical engineering authority, your stamp is on the drawings, and your decisions shape what gets built.
  • Performance bonus tied to program delivery milestones.
  • Direct impact on a high-growth company at the intersection of manufacturing and critical infrastructure.
  • A technical leadership team that speaks your language (engineering-led company, not sales-led).
  • The chance to build something from a formative stage—helping to write the playbooks for a growing organization.
