Electrical Engineer (Data Center)
WFA Digital Insight
TensorWave’s data‑center electrical engineer role sits at the intersection of high‑power design and AI hardware reliability. The position isn’t just about drafting schematics; it demands hands‑on validation of medium‑voltage switchgear, UPS systems, and generator plants that keep AI workloads online. What makes this opening distinct is its focus on fault‑tolerant, rack‑level power delivery—critical for the next generation of dense AI accelerators. Candidates will work across engineering, operations, and construction teams, translating design intent into real‑world performance while adhering to NEC and IEEE standards. Expect deep involvement in power quality, short‑circuit, and arc‑flash analyses, with clear ownership throughout commissioning.
Job Description
About TensorWave Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure. About the Role We’re looking for a Electrical Engineer (Data Center) to join our team during an exciting phase of growth. In this role, you’ll be responsible for the technical design, validation, and oversight of high-power electrical distribution systems, working closely with cross-functional partners to support business objectives while upholding our standards for excellence, collaboration, and impact. What You’ll Do - Perform detailed design review and technical validation of high-power electrical distribution systems, including medium voltage switchgear, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), paralleling switchgear, and generator plants.
- Design and model electrical infrastructure to support next-generation AI hardware, focusing on high-density power delivery at the rack level and ensuring system reliability (fault tolerance, selectivity).
- Conduct power quality studies, short circuit analysis, and arc flash analysis using industry software (e.g., SKM, ETAP).
- Provide subject matter expertise during construction, commissioning (Level 4/5 testing), and operation to resolve complex electrical issues.
- Ensure all electrical designs adhere to NFPA 70 (NEC), IEEE, and corporate safety standards.
- 7+ years of experience in the design, construction, and commissioning of mission-critical electrical systems.
- Expert-level knowledge of high-voltage and low-voltage power distribution systems. Preferred Qualifications - Professional Engineer (P.E.) license.
- Experience with battery energy storage systems (BESS).
How to Stand Out
- Highlight any experience with SKM, ETAP, or similar power analysis tools in your résumé and be ready to discuss specific study outcomes.
- Include a portfolio of past design reviews, schematics, or commissioning reports that demonstrate your hands‑on involvement with high‑power systems.
- Emphasize your familiarity with NEC and IEEE standards; mention any code‑compliance audits you’ve led.
- Prepare to explain a challenging power‑quality issue you resolved, focusing on the diagnostic process and the solution’s impact.
- When negotiating, consider equity and the extensive health benefits as part of the total compensation package.
- Watch for red flags such as vague responsibilities or lack of clear reporting lines, which may indicate insufficient team support.
