We are looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to lead the electrical engineering design and oversight of Jump's mission-critical HPC data center infrastructure. This role takes responsible charge of power system design, from medium voltage distribution through high-density rack-level delivery, across new builds, expansions, and ongoing operations. You will establish electrical design standards, perform engineer-of-record duties, and work closely with mechanical, structural, and technology teams to ensure integrated, resilient system design for our high-performance computing environments.
What You'll Do:
Electrical System Design & Standards
- Lead the electrical engineering design for Jump's critical HPC data center infrastructure projects, taking responsible charge for overall project delivery and technical excellence.
- Design/Review plans for complex power systems including generator plants, medium voltage distribution, uninterruptible power systems, automatic transfer systems, and redundant power architectures for mission-critical facilities.
- Develop initial electrical system concepts and establish design standards, specifications, and criteria for data center projects.
- Perform calculations, equipment selection, equipment specification, system design, and system layout for high-density computing environments.
- Produce high-quality technical deliverables including drawings, specifications, and reports consistent with Jump requirements and industry standards.
Engineer of Record & QA/QC
- Perform Engineer of Record duties and assume responsible charge for electrical discipline deliverables.
- Serve as engineer of record for electrical power striping from RPPs/busways to device cabinets, ensuring correct phase balancing, circuit allocation, and redundancy across high-density HPC environments.
- Participate in QA/QC processes and technical reviews of work produced by team members and external partners.
- Conduct due diligence reports, gap analyses, and feasibility studies for new data center sites and expansions.
Project & Team Leadership
- Lead multi-discipline project teams and coordinate with mechanical, structural, and technology teams to ensure integrated system design.
- Establish and manage project budgets, schedules, and resource allocation for assigned projects.
- Mentor and train junior engineers while providing technical leadership and guidance.
Construction & Field Operations
- Perform field investigations, construction administration, and commissioning oversight.
- Process and review RFIs, change orders, bulletins, and addenda during construction phases.
- Evaluate existing site conditions and provide detailed assessment reports.
Vendor & Stakeholder Management
- Interface with colocation providers, contractors, equipment vendors, and manufacturers throughout the project lifecycle.
- Support business development activities and maintain relationships with key stakeholders.
AI-Driven Engineering
- Use AI tools daily to accelerate design work, perform calculations, analyze power data, draft documentation, and improve engineering workflows.
- Identify opportunities to apply AI across electrical design and operational processes.
Codes, Standards & Continuing Education
- Maintain current knowledge of electrical codes, industry standards, and emerging technologies relevant to data center design.
- Stay current with LEED principles and their application to data center environments.
Additional duties as assigned or needed.
Skills You'll Need:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Architectural Engineering with electrical building systems emphasis from an accredited university.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
- EIT credential required if PE not yet obtained.
- Minimum 7+ years experience designing electrical systems for mission-critical facilities, data centers, or high-performance computing environments, preferably in a consulting or end-user engineering capacity.
- Proven track record as lead project engineer capable of directing technical teams and managing complex projects.
- Experience interacting with clients, contractors, architects, and cross-functional project teams.
- Demonstrates a high level of energy, results driven, and able to work under pressure with tight deadlines.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to interface with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong project management skills including proposal writing, budget management, and stakeholder relations.
- Attention to detail, highly organized, self-starter with ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
Technical Skills:
- Expert knowledge of electrical systems including medium/low voltage distribution, emergency power systems, UPS systems, and grounding.
- Experience with data center-specific requirements including redundancy levels (N, N+1, 2N), concurrent maintainability, fault tolerance, and high-density power distribution.
