Senior Electrical Design Engineer – Mission Critical Data Centers
Remote (US)
Up to $250,000 base + bonus + benefits
We're partnering with a leading owner representation firm to find a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to lead the planning and design of advanced electrical systems for large-scale, mission-critical data center infrastructure. This is a high-impact role within the A/E industry, working across some of the most complex and fast-moving critical infrastructure projects in the market today.
What you'll do
- Lead electrical design from concept through commissioning on large-scale data center and mission-critical projects
- Design and specify high and medium voltage systems, applying fault-tolerant principles (N, N+1, 2N) to deliver high-uptime environments
- Develop one-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, arc flash studies, and short circuit analyses
- Manage submittals and RFIs, and resolve complex electrical design challenges as they arise
- Establish and maintain consistent design standards across projects and teams
- Act as a technical authority, mentoring junior engineers and collaborating closely with cross-disciplinary project teams
What you'll bring
- Professional Engineer (PE) license required
- Proven experience designing high/medium voltage systems for mission-critical or data center environments
- Deep understanding of fault-tolerant design principles and redundancy configurations (N, N+1, 2N)
- Strong command of the full electrical design deliverable set — one-lines, load calcs, arc flash, short circuit, panel schedules
- Comfort working within an A/E or owner's-engineer environment, balancing design rigor with commercial and schedule pressures
What's on offer
Base salary up to $250,000, plus performance bonus and a full benefits package, with the flexibility of a remote-based role supporting nationally significant data center projects.
