Job Overview by Ladders

Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience engineering electrical systems for complex products or modular construction.
  • Proven track record supporting production launches from first article to full production.
  • Designs prioritize factory installation, utilizing pre-terminated assemblies over field constructions.
  • Capability to produce precise drawings that require minimal clarification from fabricators and electricians.
  • Skilled in interdisciplinary collaboration to resolve design conflicts directly.
  • Ability to maintain configuration control while iterating designs quickly.
  • Bonus qualifications include PE license, knowledge of electrical codes, data center experience, and proficiency in electrical CAD.

Responsibilities

  • Engineer electrical systems, including power distribution and controls integration, from concept to drawing release.
  • Create detailed one-lines, panel schedules, and cable designs for factory installation and field connectivity.
  • Resolve integration issues between electrical, structural, and mechanical designs during development.
  • Provide timely electrical support for both factory and field operations, ensuring quick resolution of RFIs.
  • Participate in prototyping and validation processes through hands-on checks and reviews.

Benefits

  • Commitment to pay equity and transparency.
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.
