M.S. preferred; PhD acceptable where paired with substantial applied data center electrical design experience. * Experience: 5+ years in data center electrical systems, mission-critical facilities, hyperscale infrastructure, or A&E engineering serving hyperscale / colocation customers. * Domain Depth: Hyperscale and colocation electrical topologies from utility service entrance, data center substation design, MV/LV distribution, UPS and BESS integration, redundancy strategy, fault isolation, and server rack PDU interface requirements. Preferred Experience * Architected power delivery for AI training clusters (>100 kW / rack, liquid-cooled, coincident load dynamics). * Prior work as a hyperscaler owner's engineer, colocation infrastructure lead, or MEP principal for mission-critical facilities. * Published contributions to OCP, Uptime, IEEE PES, or CIGRE. * Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred, especially where paired with hands-on data center, substation, or mission-critical electrical design ownership. * U.S. Person status, or ability to support DOE / national-lab collaborations where U.S. Person eligibility is required. ## Description The Hyperscale Datacenter Senior Electrical Engineer is the senior electrical authority for ON.energy's presence 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., Reference Architectures & System Definition * Inform the end-to-end electrical reference architectures for ON.energy products across hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and AI factory topologies LV and MV distribution, data center substation interfaces, and next-generation 800 Vdc designs. * Define single-line diagrams, redundancy models, substation interface assumptions, and fault-tolerance strategies for UPS, BESS, PCS, microgrid, and EMS integration. * Establish and enforce Interface Control Documents (ICDs) between ON.energy equipment and upstream utility, downstream IT load, and site controls. Requirements Engineering * Own the requirements traceability matrix from customer SOW to system architecture to subsystem to component test. * Define compliance boundaries against applicable standards such as TIA-942, ASHRAE TC 9.9, and IEC 62040. Customer & Ecosystem Engagement * Act as the technical face to hyperscale, colocation, and AI infrastructure customers throughout new product development. * Lead architecture reviews with project engineering teams, data center operators, and chip / server OEMs. * Represent ON.energy in industry working groups and codify insights into technology roadmaps. Product & Technology Roadmap * Inform the architectural roadmap for ON.energy product architectures. * Evaluate emerging DC power distribution, solid-state transformer, and grid-interactive architectures; recommend build / buy / partner strategies. * Own vendor evaluation and technology partner scorecards from a systems-fit perspective. ## Related Videos - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [DevOps at Netflix](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/270-devops-at-netflix) - [Are you still programming unit tests or already generating?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/722-are-you-still-programming-unit-tests-or-already-generating) - [AI Factories at Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1139-ai-factories-at-scale) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Top Must-Visit Developer Conferences in the US in 2026](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/679-top-must-visit-developer-conferences-in-the-us-in-2026) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers)
