Senior Principal Electrical Rack Engineer – Rack Integration Solutions

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

📋 Description

• Oversee the complete integration and testing of rack electrical solutions, which encompass medium and low voltage systems (ranging from 48V DC to +/- 400V or 800V DC), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and power distribution units (PDUs) across various form factors and product lines.

• Engage with customers and conduct site visits to identify and document deployment challenges while collecting feedback for design enhancements.

• Create precise rack power budgets and model electrical capacity for both current and prospective high-density server or switch configurations.

• Cultivate relationships with electrical and power component suppliers to establish a strong partner ecosystem that includes PSUs, PDUs, bus bars, power shelves, and high voltage equipment.

• Ensure compliance of all rack designs with safety and certification standards such as NEC/NFPA, IEEE, and UL/IEC.

• Design, review, or integrate rack PDUs and power-distribution components, addressing breaker configurations, metering, and load-balancing features.

• Conduct comprehensive failure-mode analysis, including FMEA and root-cause investigations for electrical defects or field complications.

• Specify, validate, and enhance factory electrical testing methodologies, encompassing continuity testing, sequencing, load testing, and safety verification.

• Demonstrate high proficiency in creating, updating, and interpreting electrical one-line diagrams for both rack-level and row-level power architectures, ensuring accurate depiction of power flow, grounding, redundancy, and protection devices.

• Collaborate with Architects, Compliance, Reliability teams, and global vendors to align electrical architectures with overall system design and international data center/power standards (such as OCP, ASHRAE, ANSI, TIA-942).

• Generate and maintain comprehensive design documentation including BOMs, specifications, test plans, and engineering change orders (ECOs).
