Full Job Description
The Deployment Engineering Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on
  • Turn 50GW+ of design into 50GW+ of built, running infrastructure. The Design team sets the blueprint. This team is where it survives contact with a live construction schedule and becomes a real site.
  • Close the gap between engineering-complete and operations-ready. A design that passes review still has to survive commissioning, integration, and energization, and that gap is where deployment work lives.
  • Make the tenth site faster and cleaner than the first. Every deployment feeds field learnings back into the standards, so a one-off fight at one site becomes a repeatable playbook at the next.
  • Hand off infrastructure that's reliable from the moment it goes live. AI compute workloads don't tolerate a shaky handover, so what this team commissions has to run right the day operations takes over.


Role Scope
  • Deploy and commission electrical power systems at data center sites, running equipment testing, protective relay verification, switchgear and transformer startup, generator load testing, and acceptance documentation through to live handover.
  • Support operational reliability of deployed electrical infrastructure, responding to power events and equipment failures on live sites and implementing fixes that prevent recurrence.
  • Resolve field conflicts between installation conditions and electrical system requirements during commissioning, escalating with a clear description and proposed resolution.
  • Validate protective relay settings, UPS performance, and generator transfer sequencing against operational availability requirements.
  • Contribute to electrical commissioning checklists, energization procedures, and reliability run books that reduce risk across future deployments.


What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
  • You've supported or led electrical commissioning on data centers or mission-critical facilities, with hands-on accountability through energization and live acceptance.
  • You can identify installation errors, interpret relay settings, and support fault diagnosis on data center power distribution at the operational level.
  • You've worked effectively alongside electrical subcontractors and testing firms on active sites while holding quality and safety standards.
  • You can travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50 percent of the time.
  • Bonus: Professional Engineer (PE) license, or active pursuit of licensure. MV systems, switchgear commissioning, and generator load bank testing experience. Familiarity with EPMS/DCIM power monitoring, CMMS platforms, and electrical predictive maintenance practices. Knowledge of NFPA 70E, NFPA 110, and IEEE reliability standards for data center power systems.


Compensation: $200,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Offers equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
