Data Center Electrical Engineer

Reporting to the Operations lead of Global Compute platforms, this role will be responsible for end-to-end facilities for on-site computer rooms at manufacturing locations, with a primary focus on:

• IT electrical load planning (kW/rack, amperage, phases, A/B feeds, redundancy paths)
• UPS and battery backup strategy (runtime targets, capacity management, maintenance/test plans)
• Rack elevations and layout design (power/thermal/weight validation, growth planning, cable paths)
• Overall computer room design (power distribution, environmental requirements, physical/security controls, and facilities readiness), * Power Requirements & Electrical Design (IT Load Planning)
• Own IT power demand planning for manufacturing computer rooms: establish current and future rack power budgets, peak load assumptions, and growth buffers.
• Produce/maintain documentation of power source paths, redundancy assumptions, and room feeding approach (e.g., dual feeds, generator transfer) consistent with site DR and readiness documentation practices
• Coordinate with plant electrical/facilities teams on electrical capacity, panel space, circuits, breakers, and phased expansions.
• UPS / Battery Backup Engineering & Runtime Targets
• Define UPS strategy (central room UPS vs. rack UPS) and ensure capacity supports business uptime needs.
• Manage UPS lifecycle: sizing, runtime targets, monitoring, inspection cadence, testing, vendor maintenance coordination, and replacement planning.
• Support sites where UPS utilization is already a risk: e.g., communications on maintaining a “stop-gap” utilization threshold and planning larger capacity upgrades
• Perform troubleshooting and improvement planning for UPS/battery systems aligned with critical facilities operating practices
• Rack Elevations, Physical Layout, and Capacity Modeling
• Create and maintain rack elevations and “as-built” room layouts to support safe installation, maintenance access, and growth.
• Ensure racks are designed and positioned to support safe servicing, cable length constraints, and practical workflows as part of overall computer room layout best practices.
• Maintain CAD-style documentation and keep drawings current as the environment evolves
• Site Readiness, Modernization Support, and Constraint Removal
• Partner with IT infrastructure modernization programs (e.g., dual-room resiliency to identify and eliminate physical constraints like insufficient UPS power, rack space limits, and lack of dual connections.
• Drive remediation plans in coordination with facilities teams while minimizing production impact
• Operational Excellence: Risk, Change, and Incident Support
• Serve as the facilities escalation point for computer room power events, and participate in root cause analysis and remediation planning for electrical failures. [jobs.apple.com]
• Establish/maintain SOPs/MOPs for planned power work, UPS maintenance, rack adds/moves/changes, and room upgrades.
• Provide QA/QC oversight for contractor work impacting computer rooms and critical electrical paths
• Stakeholder, Vendor, and Contractor Management
• Manage vendor relationships for UPS, battery, and monitoring systems; coordinate quotes, SOWs, and delivery timelines for upgrades (including cases where site power capacity expansion is required).
• Collaborate with plant maintenance on generator/transfer readiness and testing practices where applicable.
