Job Details

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly motivated Electrical Development Engineer to act as a technical bridge between Customers and internal Real Estate, Business Development, and Mechanical Design teams for electrical design. This role focuses on the early conceptual design phase of large-scale data center campus projects.

You will support leadership and senior staff during early-stage development by creating concepts for power distribution systems that are safe, reliable, and constructible at a fast pace. The role will also flex into projects that are at a more mature design phase.

This position requires an electrical professional with a mix of electrical construction and design methodologies, strong problem-solving capabilities, and a background in fast-paced design environments. The role is in office and must be located in San Francisco. Travel is expected to be around 10%.

What You'll Be Working On:

• Support early-stage conceptual electrical design efforts, establishing initial power distribution architecture for new campuses and site acquisitions
• Utilize CAD or similar tools to create electrical design sketches and layouts
• Develop and maintain standardized electrical design template blocks
• Develop specialized power distribution layouts tailored for AI infrastructure as power density continues to increase
• Partner with internal R&D teams to support evolving infrastructure requirements
• Act as a technical subject matter expert during customer meetings, translating complex requirements into actionable design strategies
• Support the broader design engineering team on fast-track projects, value engineering exercises, and scope changes
• Conduct initial site due diligence, evaluating utility design, power constraints, and infrastructure readiness for prospective builds
• Maintain working knowledge of customer Basis of Design requirements
• Research and evaluate emerging electrical technologies for future design integration

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field
• 5+ years of experience in data center electrical engineering across design, operations, or technical pre-sales
• Ability to operate in ambiguous environments and shift between high-level discussions and detailed engineering work
• Strong understanding of power distribution systems supporting high-density compute environments
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for diverse audiences
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including feasibility analysis and cost evaluation

Bonus Points:

• Experience in a customer-facing, sales engineering, or technical product management role
• Familiarity with hyperscale data center electrical design requirements
• Professional Engineering (PE) license or mission-critical design certifications
