The Product Engineering, Electrical Equipment TeamYou'll define the electrical equipment that powers the largest AI compute buildout in history.Examples of key problems the team is working on:
- Design an LV/MV switchgear, BBU, and busway lineup purpose-built for AI data centers instead of adapting legacy utility gear.
- Get first-of-a-kind gear through NRTL certification on schedules where a failed test shot costs months, not weeks.
- Decide product by product what we design in-house, what we co-develop with OEMs, and what we simply buy.
- Converge the lineup on the minimum set of frame sizes and bus ratings that covers the overwhelming majority of site demand.
Role Scope- Own product architecture across the LV/MV switchgear, BBU, and busway lineup, including the frame-size and bus-rating matrix that covers 90% of demand with the fewest SKUs.
- Run the certification strategy end to end: NRTL relationships, test campaign sequencing, lab bookings, and budgets that account for the real cost of a failed shot.
- Lead the gear design team across EE, ME, controls, and drafting, with team structure and staffing decisions that hold up as the lineup grows.
- Set the ratings philosophy for the lineup: short-circuit, withstand, and temperature-rise design standards rigorous enough to pass witness testing on the first campaign.
- Make the make-vs-buy recommendation per product category, including the call that we shouldn't build a category at all, backed by cost, schedule, and certification-risk math.
What We're Looking ForThe 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.- 12+ years in switchgear and electrical equipment design, with time leading design teams at an OEM such as Powell, IEM, Eaton, ABB, or equivalent.
- You've personally taken gear through UL 891/1558 or IEC 61439 listing, including witness testing at KEMA or PowerTech-class labs.
- You've lived through a short-circuit test failure, driven it to root cause, and led the redesign that passed the retest.
- You've owned product architecture across an LV/MV lineup, including BBU integration and the certification path each integration option implies.
- You know how to structure a 9-person gear team: which seats can double up, which can't, and where the first hire goes when the lineup expands.
- You can defend a ratings philosophy, short-circuit, withstand, and temperature-rise, against both a test lab and a cost target.
- Bonus: BBU or energy storage integration into gear, busway product experience, arc-resistant designs, or deep NRTL relationships.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
