Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Armada is a hyperscaler for the edge, delivering rugged, modular AI infrastructure and containerized data centers for customers worldwide. The Electrical Design Engineer will own electrical designs for modular units from single-line diagrams through commissioning, conduct power-system studies, review vendor submittals, support manufacturing partners, and assist with field deployments and troubleshooting.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain electrical designs for modular containerized data centers: single-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, grounding, cable sizing, and raceway layouts across multiple low-voltage distribution standards (480 V and other international LV systems)
- Run protective device coordination, arc flash, and short-circuit studies in SKM, ETAP, or equivalent. Produce labels and coordination reports that will be used in the field
- Review and redline vendor submittals for UPS systems, battery systems, cooling distribution units, switchgear, main distribution boards, PDUs, and generator/ATS packages. Hold vendors accountable to the spec; flag discrepancies early
- Support manufacturing partners: answer RFIs, resolve conflicts on layout and piping/cable routing, and participate in factory witness testing
- Contribute to multi-jurisdictional compliance across a range of international electrical, fire, and mission-critical facility codes, and coordinate with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction
- Produce clear engineering documentation: Statements of Requirements, design basis memos, block diagrams, and commissioning procedures. If you hate writing, this is not the job
- Work alongside mechanical, controls, structural, and fire protection engineers — and with external consultants. You will be expected to push back when something is wrong, regardless of seniority
- Support field commissioning and troubleshooting, including occasional international travel to manufacturing partner sites, deployments, and trade events
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited program
- 3–7 years of post-degree experience in electrical design, with at least 2 years in data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial power, or equivalent complex power distribution
- Demonstrated working knowledge of the NEC (NFPA 70) and, ideally, one or more IEC-based national codes. Multi-jurisdictional design experience is a strong plus
- Hands-on experience with protection coordination and arc flash software (SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or similar)
- Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical and/or Revit MEP, plus Bluebeam Revu (or equivalent) for submittal markup
- Familiarity with UPS systems (double-conversion topology, battery sizing, parallel operation), medium- and low-voltage switchgear, transformers, and generator/ATS integration
- Ability to read mechanical and structural drawings well enough to catch interdisciplinary conflicts before they hit manufacturing
- Clear written communication. You will be writing RFI responses, submittal reviews, and technical memos read by vendors and executives
- PE or EIT licensure is a plus; neither is required
- Experience with containerized or modular/prefabricated data center products
- Knowledge of high-density liquid-cooled GPU systems and their electrical implications — inrush, harmonics, rack-level power distribution, busway
- Working familiarity with battery chemistries beyond VRLA and lithium-ion, and with UL 9540A or equivalent large-scale battery testing requirements
- Familiarity with NFPA 70E, NFPA 75/76, NFPA 110, and NFPA 855 as they apply to mission-critical and energy storage installations
- Experience coordinating with multiple AHJs and international insurance bodies on mission-critical approvals
- Exposure to BMS/DCIM integration, BACnet/Modbus, and the electrical side of controls handoffs
- Experience working with external manufacturing partners and consultants across multiple time zones
Benefits
- Equity
- Medical, dental, and vision (subsidized cost)
- Health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and dependent care FSAs (DCFSA)
- Retirement plan options, including 401(k) and Roth 401(k)
- Unlimited paid time off (PTO)
- 14 paid company holidays per year
- This role is remote.
