About the Role

We are looking for a Principal Electrical Design Engineer, Liquid Cooling (Rack Integration Solutions) to drive electrical and power solutions for high-performance computing systems. You will consult on system architecture, assess technical requirements, and oversee design progressions. You will also mentor and lead others in the organization to build team members' design capability. Collaboration with cross-functional teams, customers, and global vendors is essential to align electrical architecture with overall system design and international standards.

Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end integration and testing of rack electrical solutions, including high/low voltage systems (AC/DC), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and power distribution units (PDUs) in varying form factors and product lines.
Participate in customer engagements and site visits to understand and document deployment constraints and gather feedback for design improvements.
Build accurate rack power budgets and model electrical capacity for both current and future high‑density server or switch configurations.
Manage relationships with electrical/power component vendors to build out a robust partner ecosystem consisting of PSUs, PDUs, bus bars, power shelves, and high voltage equipment.
Ensure all rack designs meet safety and certification requirements such as NEC/NFPA, IEEE, and UL/IEC.
Design, review, or integrate rack PDUs and power‑distribution components, including breaker configurations, metering, and load‑balancing features.
Perform detailed failure‑mode analysis, including FMEA and root‑cause investigations for electrical defects or field issues.
Define, validate, and improve factory electrical test strategies, including continuity testing, sequencing, load testing, and safety verification.
Be highly proficient in developing, updating, and interpreting electrical one‑line diagrams for rack‑level and row‑level power architectures, ensuring accurate representation of power flow, grounding, redundancy, and protection devices.
Collaborate with Architects/Compliance/Reliability and global vendors to align electrical architectures with total system design and international data center/power standards (e.g., OCP, ASHRAE, ANSI, TIA-942).
Develop and maintain design documentation including BOMs, specifications, test plans, and engineering change orders (ECOs).
Conduct root cause analysis and corrective actions for electrical failures or field issues.
Provide technical leadership by establishing long‑term electrical design standards, documentation, and best practices for rack engineering teams.
Translate one‑line diagrams into factory‑ready build documentation ensuring manufacturing teams can safely and consistently execute the electrical design during prototype builds and production ramp.
Generate cable layouts to minimize EMI/EMC issues in dense computing environments.
Hands-on experience with prototype fabrication and testing; experience working with global suppliers and contract manufacturers a plus.

Requirements

Minimum of 7+ years of experience in electrical systems integration
3+ years of specific experience in rack-scale electrical/power design and analysis
Strong understanding of electrical systems, integration strategies, and large-scale program management
Familiarity with server design (EIA-310, OCP/ORV3), 48V DC busbar connections, power plugs/receptacles, and power cable routing.
Hands-on experience with electrical safety tests such as hi-pot, ground-bond, leakage current, and continuity checks.
Writing and updating work instructions, assembly diagrams, test plans, and electrical schematics based on hands‑on build results.
Excellent English communication skills (verbal and written) with strong technical leadership capabilities

Skills

Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
Creative, self-motivated, accountable, and team-oriented
Able to work independently with minimal oversight
Capable of assessing projects, articulating risks, and developing project milestones
Skilled in writing reports, business correspondence, and procedural guides
Effective at presenting information and responding to management and customers
Capable of influencing others and sharing best practices
Familiar with stage-gate processes in project lifecycle management (PLCM)
Proficiency in electrical tools and simulations (e.g. AutoCAD, Ansys, PSpice, SCADA, DCIM, etc.)
