Own the electrical architecture for rack- and row-based systems, including PDUs, containment systems, and integrated solutions Define and manage interfaces between electrical, mechanical, thermal, and control subsystems Ensure system-level integration meets requirements for performance, safety, and regulatory compliance Evaluate and ensure electrical compatibility, interoperability, and integration across system components

1. Electrical Design & Analysis

Develop electrical system designs, including: Single-line and three-line schematics Power distribution and load calculations Grounding and bonding systems Monitoring and control architectures Perform short-circuit, fault, and coordination analysis Select and specify electrical components and assemblies aligned with NPD and project requirements Ensure compliance with NEC, UL/IEC 62368-1, IEC 60364, IEC 61000, EN 55032, and related standards

1. Cross-Functional Leadership

Lead and contribute to cross-functional design reviews Collaborate with product management, mechanical/thermal engineering, and manufacturing teams Provide engineering guidance during factory integration, testing, and production Mentor and support development of junior engineers

1. Continuous Improvement & Standards

Contribute to and refine Vertiv’s electrical design standards and “playbook” Drive improvements in system interoperability, serviceability, manufacturability, and scalability Help adapt and operationalize internal guidelines for use in NPD and customer projects Stay current on emerging technologies and best practices in electrical design and data center infrastructure

1. Customer & Business Support

Support pre-sales activities, including solution development, quotations, and technical presentations Partner with procurement and suppliers on component selection and sourcing Provide technical support to manufacturing, testing, and field teams Manage multiple concurrent projects while balancing technical depth and execution timelines

Skills and Requirements

Required

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or equivalent 7+ years of experience in electrical design for complex systems or NPD Strong understanding of electrical safety, EMC, and regulatory standards Experience with power system design, distribution, and system integration Ability to interpret and create electrical drawings, schematics, and specifications Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills Self-motivated with the ability to take ownership and drive results Preferred

Experience in data center infrastructure, power systems, or integrated platforms Master’s degree or Professional Engineer (PE) license Familiarity with tools such as Creo, Revit, AutoCAD (3D routing/modeling) Experience with factory integration, system validation, or customer deployments Knowledge of short-circuit and coordination studies
