- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, especially when coordinating with international teams
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects at once
Bonus points- Familiarity with UL 67, UL 1561, or medium voltage switchgear design
- Experience with PDU or RPP design, including branch circuit protection, busbar sizing, and downstream power distribution
- Familiarity with Annex G of UL 891
- Experience using PDM systems for CAD file management (SolidWorks PDM)
- Background working with international or cross-functional teams in a startup or fast-paced environment
- Understanding of modular data center or critical power infrastructure products, including rack-level PDUs and remote power panels

Who we hireWe hire people who thrive in chaos and get sharper under pressure. You don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. When there's work to be done, you do it. You make decisions with the information you have, move fast, and adjust along the way. We're not looking for perfect; we're looking for people who get things done.
