Senior Electrical Engineer

Giga Energy is a company focused on building the infrastructure necessary for the AI revolution. As a Senior Electrical Engineer, you will contribute to the power architecture of next-generation data centers, ensuring high-density power delivery and compliance with global standards.

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the development and maintenance of the electrical POR for Giga Data Centers, supporting the "Gold Standard" design that enables manufacturing of reliability and efficiency at scale
• Author technical specifications and Basis of Design documents for assigned power systems within the internal engineering library
• Design to global and local standards, ensuring strict compliance with the NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 70E, and IEEE standards for mission-critical power distribution
• Support external engineering (A&E) firms in localizing designs, reviewing deliverables for adherence to core power performance intent and standardization requirements
• Execute rigorous power system studies, including load flow, short circuit, protective device coordination, and arc flash analysis to ensure system resilience and safety
• Engineer high-density power distribution topologies (Medium Voltage down to the rack PDU) aligned with OCP (Open Compute Project) specifications for AI interoperability
• Select and specify medium/low voltage switchgear, generators, UPS systems, transformers, ATS/STS units, and high-ampacity busways for high-density compute environments
• Create detailed Bills of Material (BOMs), Quantity Take Offs (QTOs), and Commissioning scripts to support a manufacturing-first supply chain
• Contribute to Sequence of Operations (SOO) and Control Narratives for EPMS/BMS integration, defining how electrical systems respond to utility failures and dynamic AI load changes
• Use advanced simulation tools to optimize power system reliability and validate designs before manufacturing

Requirements:

• Professional Engineer (PE) license required
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering
• 5+ years of electrical engineering experience with a strong focus on mission-critical, data center, or heavy industrial facilities
• Deep working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70) and relevant IEEE standards
• Strong background in electrical system analysis using tools like ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or EasyPower
• Experience with relay programming and protection coordination schemes
• Proficiency in Revit/AutoCAD for electrical design
• Strong understanding of high-density power solutions (100kW+ racks) and modern data center topologies (distributed redundant, block redundant, etc.)
• Experience specifying heavy electrical equipment including MV/LV switchgear, generators, and large-scale UPS systems
• Experience contributing to standardized or reference designs intended for repeatable deployment
• Understanding of OCP (Open Compute Project) power initiatives, including Open Rack architectures and 48V DC power shelves
• Experience with utility grid interconnection and medium/high voltage substation design
• Background in Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) and SCADA integration
• Experience with a manufacturing-first design approach (DfMA principles)
• Startup or high-growth company experience; a clear preference for building over administrative management
• Exposure to Plan of Record (POR) development for manufactured products
• Experience coordinating with A&E firms on design deliverables
• Familiarity with Level 1-5 commissioning processes and integrated systems testing (IST) for electrical infrastructure
• Experience with design-build or fast-track project delivery
