Senior Electrical Engineer

Role Overview

DataOne is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to spearhead the design, development, and implementation of high-reliability electrical systems in our next-generation AI data centers. This position requires deep technical expertise in mission-critical electrical design—spanning power distribution, UPS, generators, and redundancy strategies—alongside a strong commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. You will collaborate in a cross-functional environment with architects, mechanical engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders to ensure our data centers meet both current performance demands and future scalability requirements.

Key Responsibilities

Electrical System Design

• Lead the design of robust, fault-tolerant electrical infrastructures tailored for mission-critical data center operations.
• Develop single-line diagrams, schematics, and system layouts, ensuring optimal power delivery and minimal downtime.
• Incorporate energy-efficient solutions to align with DataOne’s sustainability targets and operational cost objectives.
  

Equipment Selection & Specification

• Select and specify key electrical components—such as transformers, generators, UPS systems, switchgear, and distribution panels—prioritizing high availability and maintainability.
• Conduct feasibility studies and evaluate emerging technologies to enhance performance, resilience, and sustainability.
• Collaborate with procurement teams to identify and qualify reliable suppliers that meet stringent technical, environmental, and financial criteria.
  
  

Regulatory Compliance & Standards

• Ensure all electrical designs and installations comply with IEC, NFPA, and local electrical codes.
• Stay updated on evolving industry standards, implementing changes where necessary to maintain compliance and safety.
• Integrate best practices for critical system resilience, grounding, and bonding per relevant regulatory and industry guidelines.
  

System Analysis & Modeling

• Perform short-circuit analysis, load flow studies, and arc flash assessments using specialized software such as ETAP or SKM PowerTools.
• Evaluate system performance under various operational conditions, optimizing protective device settings and layout for maximum reliability.
• Proactively identify potential failure points, recommending upgrades or redundancy strategies to mitigate risks.
  

Utility Coordination & Redundancy

• Coordinate with utility providers to secure reliable power supply contracts, manage interconnection agreements, and plan for capacity expansions.
• Design and implement appropriate levels of redundancy (N, N+1, 2N, etc.) in line with tier-level requirements and business continuity goals.
• Conduct power system load forecasting and recommend strategies for scalable growth, ensuring seamless integration of renewable energy sources where feasible.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with architectural, mechanical, and structural teams to align electrical system design with overall data center layouts and operational constraints.
• Provide technical guidance to project managers, construction teams, and commissioning agents throughout the project lifecycle.
• Participate in BIM coordination sessions, contributing electrical models and data to integrated design workflows.

Quality Assurance & Documentation

• Develop and maintain comprehensive documentation, including design specifications, test plans, and as-built drawings.
• Oversee factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT) for electrical equipment, ensuring delivery meets project and quality standards.
• Contribute to post-project evaluations and continuous improvement initiatives, capturing lessons learned for future data center designs.

Skills & Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience: 8+ years of experience in electrical engineering for mission-critical facilities, preferably data centers.
  
• Technical Skills: Proficiency with ETAP or SKM PowerTools for electrical analysis.
  Experience using AutoCAD Electrical and Revit (BIM) for design and documentation.
  Familiarity with renewable energy systems (solar, wind) and microgrids is a plus.
  
• Soft Skills: Strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across global, multi-disciplinary teams.
• Certifications: Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent is strongly preferred. Additional certifications related to data center design (e.g., Uptime Institute, IEEE) are advantageous.
