Lead Engineer, Data Center - Memphis

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the electrical architecture from the medium-voltage bus to the GPU rack — topology, redundancy, and standards — for halls scaling with AI compute load
• Set and defend the redundancy basis; prove split-feed and cross-feed schemes against bus-fault, transformer-loss, and switchgear-loss contingencies
• Establish the campus electrical design standard: equipment tagging, drawing conventions, approved vendor list, insulation coordination, grounding, and arc-flash boundaries
• Own the interface with the compute organization on rack density, step-load behavior, power-capping strategy, and actual-versus-nameplate utilization
• Own the interface with mechanical and cooling engineering on CDU, sidecar, and pump electrical loads and their contribution to hall demand
• Lead design reviews with EPCs, OEMs, and owner's engineers; approve vendor drawings and factory acceptance test procedures
• Direct Design, Commissioning, R&D, BIM/Designer, and Protection & Controls engineers on the Data Center team as those seats fill
• Collaborate with Transmission & Distribution and Battery Storage leads so hall design, interconnection, and storage dispatch stay on one model of record
• Ensure compliance with NFPA 70, 70B, 70E, NESC, and IEEE standards, prioritizing safety and engineering excellence

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, physics, or another engineering discipline
• 10+ years of electrical power design experience, with a focus on high-power, high-voltage or mission-critical systems
• Experience owning medium-voltage distribution architecture at 10 kV to 35 kV class

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES

• Professional Engineering license or intention to actively seek a PE license
• 5+ years in mission-critical, hyperscale, or heavy industrial facilities
• Experience with high-density AI compute and liquid-cooled deployments
• Experience delivering a repeatable design across multiple identical halls or phases
• Experience with power systems analysis software and tools: ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, PowerWorld, Matlab, PSCAD, PSEE, Simulink, etc
• Fluency in NEC, NFPA 70E, the IEEE 3000 series, and an internal reliability framework
• Experience building and leading an engineering team from the first hire
• Proven ability to lead teams, work independently, and thrive in dynamic, high-stress environments with tight deadlines

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

• Perform hands-on work in all environments (heat, cold, rain), in tight quarters or at heights
• Work extended hours and weekends as needed to support construction, energization, and operations
• Remain focused in hazardous environments while wearing appropriate PPE
• Lift up to 25 lbs unassisted.
• Provide 24/7 on-call support for emergencies
• Willing to work on-site in Memphis, TN. This is not a remote or hybrid role
• Travel up to 25% for factory witness testing, vendor and OEM engagement, and supporting other sites
• Valid driver's license
