Senior Electrical Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Texas.

📋 Description

• Assist in the creation and upkeep of the electrical POR for Giga Data Centers, facilitating the "Gold Standard" design aimed at enhancing manufacturing reliability and efficiency at scale.

• Draft technical specifications and Basis of Design documents for designated power systems within the internal engineering repository.

• Adhere to global and local standards during design processes, ensuring compliance with the NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 70E, and IEEE standards for mission-critical power distribution.

• Collaborate with external engineering (A&E) firms to customize designs, evaluating deliverables for alignment with core power performance objectives and standardization criteria.

• Conduct comprehensive power system studies, such as load flow, short circuit, protective device coordination, and arc flash analysis to guarantee system resilience and safety.

• Design high-density power distribution configurations (from Medium Voltage to rack PDUs) in accordance with OCP (Open Compute Project) specifications for AI interoperability.

• Choose and specify medium/low voltage switchgear, generators, UPS systems, transformers, ATS/STS units, and high-ampacity busways suited for high-density computing environments.

• Produce detailed Bills of Material (BOMs), Quantity Take Offs (QTOs), and Commissioning scripts to facilitate a manufacturing-first supply chain.

• Contribute to the Sequence of Operations (SOO) and Control Narratives for EPMS/BMS integration, outlining the responses of electrical systems to utility outages and dynamic AI load variations.

• Employ advanced simulation tools to enhance power system reliability and confirm designs prior to manufacturing.
