Job Overview by Ladders

Qualifications

  • 5-7 years of hands-on experience in engineering electrical systems for complex products or modular construction.
  • History of supporting production launches from first article through to repeat builds.
  • Expertise in designing for factory installation, focusing on harnesses and pre-terminated assemblies.
  • Ability to deliver clean, actionable drawings that minimize need for clarification from fabricators and electricians.
  • Experience resolving cross-disciplinary integration issues without compartmentalizing challenges.
  • Adeptness at rapid iteration while maintaining strict configuration control across units.
  • Bonus qualifications include a PE license, knowledge of electrical codes and panel standards, CAD proficiency, and sound DFM instincts.

Responsibilities

  • Engineer and manage electrical systems design throughout the product lifecycle from concept to drawn release.
  • Own the creation of one-lines, panel schedules, and cable designs for seamless factory installation.
  • Resolve integration challenges where electrical systems meet mechanical and structural components.
  • Provide prompt electrical support for factory and field operations, ensuring fixes are incorporated into design revisions.
  • Participate directly in prototyping and validation efforts, including mockups and first-article reviews.

Benefits

  • Commitment to pay equity and transparency.
  • Opportunities for exceptional candidates even if they don’t meet all qualifications.
Full Job Description
The Modular Team

The Modular team is designing a factory-built data center product for the largest AI compute buildout in history: engineered once, built repeatedly, and deployed faster than site-built construction allows.

Examples of key problems the team is working on:
  • Move data center construction from the field to the factory: designs that ship as pre-terminated assemblies and harnesses instead of site-pulled wire.
  • Resolve the collisions between electrical, mechanical, and structural systems inside a module envelope where every routing path, penetration, and tolerance is contested.
  • Turn first-article builds and factory feedback into design revisions fast enough that each unit builds cleaner than the last.
  • Keep a repeatable product under configuration control while the design iterates between prototypes, factory runs, and field deployments.
Role Scope
  • Engineer the electrical systems of the modular product, power distribution, grounding, and controls integration, from concept through released drawings.
  • Own the one-lines, panel schedules, and cable and raceway design, drawn to a standard the factory installs from and the field connects to without hand-holding.
  • Solve the integration problems where electrical meets structure and mechanical: routing, penetrations, and tolerances where the disciplines collide.
  • Run electrical support for the factory and the field: RFIs answered same-day, and every fix engineered into the next revision instead of living as a redline.
  • Drive prototyping and validation through mockups, fit checks, and first-article reviews you attend in person.
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've engineered electrical systems hands-on for complex physical products, modular construction, or critical facilities: prefab power skids, switchgear OEM products, modular data centers, or repeatable critical-facility work at an EPC.
  • You've supported production launches of your own designs, from first article through repeat builds.
  • You design for factory install, not field construction: you think in harnesses and pre-terminated assemblies rather than site-pulled wire.
  • Your drawings build clean. Fabricators and electricians rarely call, and when they do, you fix the drawing rather than explain it.
  • You work across disciplines instead of throwing problems over walls: when your raceway hits a structural member, you're in the room resolving it.
  • You iterate fast without losing configuration control, so every unit on the floor is built from a known revision.
  • Bonus: PE license, fluency in electrical codes and panel standards (NEC, UL 508A), data center power distribution experience, electrical CAD mastery (AutoCAD Electrical, Revit), and strong DFM instincts.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
