Job Description

Lead Electrical Engineer

Giga Energy

• Develop and maintain the electrical POR for Giga Data Centers, defining the "Gold Standard" design that enables manufacturing of reliability and efficiency at scale. • Author and own the internal engineering library including technical specifications and Basis of Design documents for all power systems, establishing what we build and how we measure success. • Design to global and local standards, ensuring strict compliance with the NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 70E, and IEEE standards for mission-critical power distribution. • Guide external engineering (A&E) firms to localize designs while maintaining strict 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 complex, 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. • Develop Sequence of Operations (SOO) and Control Narratives for EPMS/BMS integration, dictating 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.
