Responsibilities
As required, engage with customers for preferred performance and architectural design parameters to inform substation and distribution system design
Lead the design and optimization of high and medium voltage substations for data centers, including the specification of transformers, switchgear, protective relaying, bus duct systems, controls, and grounding schemes
Oversee the selection and integration of high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) equipment to maintain optimal uptime and efficiency
Drive large-scale power infrastructure projects from conceptual design through detailed engineering, construction, and commissioning
Provide technical leadership for electrical power systems, focusing on reliability, redundancy, scalability, and innovation in design practices
Implement best practices in fault analysis, load flow studies, short circuit analysis, and relay coordination to ensure system reliability
Champion the adoption of renewable energy and innovative power technologies, working closely with renewable energy providers to integrate green power sources
Define and enforce global standards for HV/MV substation design, installation, and operation to ensure consistency across multiple data centers
Ensure compliance with local, national, and international codes and standards (e.g., NEC, IEEE, NERC, IEC, UL) for power system installations, environmental considerations, and safety regulations
Collaborate with regulatory authorities, utilities, and EPC contractors to secure approvals for HV/MV electrical designs and manage interfaces between data centers and the power grid
Work closely with internal teams, including operations, mechanical engineering, control systems engineering, construction management, and cloud infrastructure architects, to align power system designs with overall data center objectives
Engage with external stakeholders such as utility providers, vendors, contractors, and engineering consultants to coordinate power system designs and upgrades
Support site selection teams by conducting power feasibility studies, evaluating grid availability, and identifying potential substation locations. Collaborate on site design and civil works to support substation design and deployment
Analyze potential risks and failure points within the electrical infrastructure, implementing strategies for fault tolerance and risk mitigation (e.g., redundancy, failover systems, black-start capabilities)
Lead root cause analysis for any power-related outages and develop action plans to improve system reliability and reduce downtime
Develop long-term strategic plans for system upgrades, expansions, and end-of-life equipment replacements
Lead multidisciplinary teams in executing large-scale electrical projects on time and within budget, overseeing all aspects of electrical infrastructure development from design through commissioning. This will be coordinated with larger project management functional team members
Provide mentorship and technical leadership to junior engineers and external contractors, fostering a collaborative environment for innovation and continuous improvement
