**TOP SKILLS:**
• 7+ years of experience designing electrical power distribution systems for data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial plants, semiconductor facilities, or utility-scale infrastructure.
• Experience performing load flow, short-circuit, protective device coordination, and arc flash studies using ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, or equivalent software.
• Experience designing medium-voltage and low-voltage electrical distribution systems including switchgear, transformers, UPS systems, static transfer switches (STS), generators, busway, and associated protection equipment.
• Ability to create, review, and maintain electrical one-line diagrams, protection philosophies, grounding schemes, and system architecture documentation.
• Experience developing electrical equipment specifications and evaluating vendor proposals, submittals, and technical documentation.
• Experience supporting energization, startup, commissioning, and turnover activities for electrical systems you designed.
• Experience applying NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, NETA, and other mission-critical electrical design standards.
• Experience developing and reviewing relay protection schemes, breaker coordination strategies, fault studies, and system reliability analyses.
• Demonstrated ability to identify constructability issues and resolve electrical design conflicts before construction.
• Experience coordinating with mechanical, controls, commissioning, construction, and operations teams throughout project delivery.
• Experience reviewing field changes, RFIs, and as-built conditions and incorporating lessons learned back into design standards.
• Experience supporting large-scale electrical capacity planning and future infrastructure expansion strategies.
• Experience designing systems intended for high-availability or Tier III/Tier IV mission-critical environments.

Preferred:
Professional Engineer (PE) license or active progress toward licensure.
Data center, hyperscale, AI infrastructure, colocation, cloud, or mission-critical facility experience.
: Medium-voltage utility interconnection and utility coordination experience.
Experience with SKM, ETAP, EasyPower, or equivalent power system analysis tools.
: Experience with EPMS, SCADA, controls integration, or electrical monitoring systems.
Experience with modular data centers, prefabricated electrical skids, or Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA).
Experience supporting high-density compute environments including GPU and AI infrastructure deployments.
Experience reviewing electrical BIM/Revit models and coordinating multidisciplinary design reviews.

Role Scope

• Engineer data center electrical distribution in the reference design: medium voltage through busway to the rack.

• Run the studies: load flow, short circuit, coordination, and arc flash owned in ETAP or SKM.

• Develop equipment specs: switchgear, transformers, UPS, and busway packages evaluated and integrated.

• Support builds: field questions answered same-day, as-built deltas engineered back into the reference.

What We're Looking For

• You've designed electrical distribution for data centers or mission-critical facilities.

• You run your own studies and stand behind the settings.

• You've specified and evaluated major distribution equipment.

• Your one-lines are current, correct, and buildable.

• You've supported energization on designs you drew.

• Bonus: ETAP or SKM depth. Medium voltage design. UPS and static transfer systems. NEC mastery.
