Job Summary

is building the power infrastructure that makes the AI era possible. As AI demand surges past what the grid and traditional data centers can support provides a new class of power technology proven at gigawatt scale and trusted by the worlds leading cloud and AI companies. Our systems are already deployed across 2.5 GW of hyper-scale campuses validated by top U.S. national labs and certified for grid-safe operation by major utilities. With real products in the field were scaling faster than the grid can transforming power from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage for the companies building the future.

The Hyperscale Datacenter Senior Electrical Engineer is the senior electrical authority forpresence at hyperscale colocation enterprise and AI-focused data centers. This role is focused on data center electrical engineering while maintaining utility-interface fluency to translate customer operator substation and site-infrastructure requirements into deployable product requirements interfaces and reference electrical designs.
