Principal Engineer, Low Voltage Deployment, AMERS

Nscale is seeking a Principal Engineer to lead low-voltage execution across its AI and GPU data center deployments. The role translates design intent into safe, high-quality field delivery and drives infrastructure from readiness through acceptance and turnover, while leading vendors and coordinating cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own low-voltage deployment execution from site readiness through installation, testing, acceptance, and turnover
• Oversee fiber, copper, structured cabling, pathways, containment, patching, labeling, and associated infrastructure supporting high-density AI environments
• Use approved designs, LLDs, cable schedules, rack elevations, and Nscale standards to verify onsite implementation
• Maintain visibility into field blockers, dependencies, and readiness gaps, and drive them to resolution
• Serve as a primary Nscale technical and field interface for low-voltage contractors, integrators, and deployment partners
• Drive vendor performance across staffing, schedule, quality, productivity, testing, remediation, and deliverables
• Lead onsite coordination and hold partners accountable to approved scope, milestones, and quality expectations
• Build trusted working relationships with vendors, construction teams, network teams, and project stakeholders
• Bring credible technical judgment to design, constructability, readiness, and deployment reviews
• Lead QA/QC activities covering routing, labeling, polarity, fiber cleanliness, bend radius, cable management, termination, patching, and workmanship
• Review fiber and copper test results and certification documentation, including OLTS and OTDR where required
• Drive punch-list remediation, final acceptance, and lessons learned while identifying recurring issues and preventative solutions
• Manage schedules, milestones, risks, dependencies, and multiple concurrent low-voltage workstreams
• Partner closely with Network Infrastructure, Construction, AI Infrastructure Deployment, Engineering, Commissioning, Operations, Supply Chain, and other teams
• Translate field and technical complexity into concise status, risk, decision, and escalation updates
• Help develop repeatable deployment methods, standards, SOWs, vendor requirements, and operating practices as the Low Voltage Deployment organization scales

Requirements:

• A field leader. You are comfortable owning execution where the work is happening
• A technical problem solver. You can move between drawings, fiber testing, vendor execution, and project constraints
• An owner. You identify gaps early and drive them through resolution
• A cross-functional operator. You build alignment across teams without relying on direct authority
• A builder. You enjoy creating repeatable standards and improving how future deployments are delivered
• Proven experience in low-voltage, structured cabling, network infrastructure, data center construction, deployment engineering, or a closely related field
• Demonstrated experience leading complex field deployments and managing third-party vendors or contractors
• Strong working knowledge of fiber-optic and copper infrastructure, installation practices, testing, and quality requirements
• Ability to interpret LLDs, construction drawings, rack elevations, cable schedules, port maps, and technical deployment documentation
• Experience managing project schedules, risks, dependencies, punch lists, and cross-functional execution
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage field teams, engineers, project leaders, vendors, and senior stakeholders
• Experience in hyperscale, cloud, HPC, or AI data center environments
