About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to contribute to the implementation of Bell's innovative national program, the AI Network. This ambitious initiative aims to build a secure, high-performance, pan-Canadian AI computing network that will accelerate innovation and strengthen national technological independence. In this role, you will design and shape the electrical backbone of advanced data centers supporting massive GPU clusters and critical AI workloads.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design, review, and optimization of electrical systems for new data center builds, expansions, and retrofits.
- Develop single-line diagrams, load calculations, electrical distribution plans, and protection coordination studies.
- Evaluate and plan electrical infrastructure, including MV/LV switchgear, UPS systems, generators, PDUs, RPPs, grounding, and redundancy configurations (N, N+1, 2N, 2N+1).
- Collaborate with architects, mechanical engineers, facility operations teams, and external partners to ensure designs meet performance, safety, and compliance requirements.
- Participate in site assessments, capacity planning, and operational audits to determine infrastructure readiness and adherence to design standards.
- Provide technical guidance on procurement specifications for electrical equipment and ensure vendor solutions meet engineering requirements.
- Support commissioning efforts, including Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and integrated systems testing.
- Identify electrical risks and propose design improvements to enhance resilience, efficiency, and scalability.
- Maintain documentation, including design records, operational procedures, and as-built drawings.
- Contribute to long-term infrastructure planning aligned with organizational growth and emerging IT workloads (AI/ML, HPC, GPU clusters).
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering; Professional Engineer (P.Eng) designation or eligibility is preferred.
- 5 to 10+ years of experience in electrical design for critical facilities (data centers, telecommunications, industrial power systems).
- Strong understanding of power distribution, emergency/standby systems, UPS technologies, and switchgear operation.
- Knowledge of relevant codes and standards (CSA, OESC, IEEE, NEC/NFPA, TIA 942).
- Experience with high-density, high-availability environments (AI computing, GPU clusters) is an asset.
- Proficiency in design and modeling tools (AutoCAD, Revit, ETAP, SKM, or similar).
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to collaborate with engineering, operations, and vendor teams.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, focusing on reliability, safety, and operational excellence.
