Electrical Design Engineer

Overview

Electrical Design Engineer on the power and integration team, owning electrical design for Armada's ruggedized modular containerized data centers from single-line through commissioning.

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain electrical designs for modular containerized data centers: single-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, grounding, cable sizing, and raceway layouts across 480 V and other international LV systems.
• Run protective device coordination, arc flash, and short-circuit studies in SKM, ETAP, or equivalent, and produce labels and coordination reports for field use.
• Review and redline vendor submittals for UPS systems, battery systems, cooling distribution units, switchgear, main distribution boards, PDUs, and generator/ATS packages, and flag discrepancies early.
• Support manufacturing partners by answering RFIs, resolving layout and piping/cable routing conflicts, and participating in factory witness testing.
• Contribute to multi-jurisdictional compliance across international electrical, fire, and mission-critical facility codes, and coordinate with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction.
• Produce engineering documentation including Statements of Requirements, design basis memos, block diagrams, and commissioning procedures.
• Work alongside mechanical, controls, structural, and fire protection engineers and external consultants.
• Support field commissioning and troubleshooting, including occasional international travel to manufacturing partner sites, deployments, and trade events.

What you'll need

• US citizen.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited program.
• 3–7 years of post-degree experience in electrical design, with at least 2 years in data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial power, or equivalent complex power distribution.
• Demonstrated working knowledge of the NEC (NFPA 70).
• Hands-on experience with protection coordination and arc flash software (SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or similar).
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical and/or Revit MEP, plus Bluebeam Revu (or equivalent) for submittal markup.
• Familiarity with UPS systems (double-conversion topology, battery sizing, parallel operation), medium- and low-voltage switchgear, transformers, and generator/ATS integration.
• Ability to read mechanical and structural drawings well enough to catch interdisciplinary conflicts before they reach manufacturing.
• Clear written communication for RFI responses, submittal reviews, and technical memos.

Nice to have

• Knowledge of one or more IEC-based national codes; multi-jurisdictional design experience is a strong plus.
• PE or EIT licensure is a plus; neither is required.
• Experience with containerized or modular/prefabricated data center products.
• Knowledge of high-density liquid-cooled GPU systems and their electrical implications, including inrush, harmonics, rack-level power distribution, and busway.
• Working familiarity with battery chemistries beyond VRLA and lithium-ion, and with UL 9540A or equivalent large-scale battery testing requirements.
• Familiarity with NFPA 70E, NFPA 75/76, NFPA 110, and NFPA 855 as they apply to mission-critical and energy storage installations.
• Experience coordinating with multiple AHJs and international insurance bodies on mission-critical approvals.
• Exposure to BMS/DCIM integration, BACnet/Modbus, and the electrical side of controls handoffs.
• Experience working with external manufacturing partners and consultants across multiple time zones.

Details

• Remote role, United States.
• Occasional international travel to manufacturing partner sites, deployments, and trade events.
• Citizenship requirement: US citizen; roles may involve access to export-controlled information, and offers are contingent on compliance.
