Lead Electrical CAD Engineer - Data Center Infrastructure

Accountabilities:

• Independently develop and maintain detailed electrical schematics, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and related documentation for complex industrial and infrastructure equipment.
• Design power distribution, protection, grounding, and control circuits supporting mission-critical power and cooling platforms.
• Ensure electrical designs meet functional performance, safety, reliability, serviceability, and customer requirements across applicable operating conditions.
• Resolve electrical packaging and integration challenges in coordination with mechanical layouts, thermal constraints, and enclosure architectures.
• Execute configuration-controlled electrical designs across multiple product variants, options, and regional configurations.
• Maintain design stability, accuracy, and traceability as engineering changes are introduced throughout the product lifecycle.
• Implement ECRs and ECNs efficiently while maintaining compliance, backward compatibility, and production continuity.
• Keep schematics, wiring diagrams, panel layouts, BOMs, and PLM records accurately synchronized.
• Apply applicable IEC, UL, regional, and customer-specific electrical standards throughout the design process.
• Use sound engineering judgment to address electrical safety, fault protection, arc mitigation, grounding, and clearance/creepage requirements.
• Support internal and external compliance activities through accurate technical documentation and timely responses to design-related findings.
• Develop detailed panel layouts with appropriate component placement, wire routing, labeling, mechanical fit, and thermal considerations.
• Ensure wiring designs are manufacturable, accessible, serviceable, and clearly documented for production teams.
• Support prototype builds, production ramp-up, and manufacturing issue resolution through design updates and technical clarification.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineering to ensure electrical-mechanical fit, clearance, airflow, and thermal compatibility.
• Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and production teams to address build issues, component substitutions, and field or production feedback.
• Participate in technical design reviews and release-readiness activities as a senior technical contributor.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of electrical CAD practices, documentation quality, and configuration discipline.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• 8+ years of hands-on electrical CAD design experience involving industrial, infrastructure-class, or similarly complex equipment.
• Strong proficiency with one or more of EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, SolidWorks Electrical, and Edge Electrical.
• Demonstrated experience designing power distribution and control systems for complex, multi-variant products.
• Working knowledge of IEC, UL, and regional electrical compliance requirements.
• Ability to independently execute and take technical ownership of complex electrical designs with minimal oversight.
• Experience designing electrical systems for power and cooling infrastructure, switchgear, transformers, busway, PDCs, CDUs, chillers, or other thermally intensive infrastructure is highly valuable.
• Practical experience with switchgear, control panels, and industrial power systems.
• Proven expertise in panel layout, wire routing, and electrical-mechanical integration.
• Familiarity with PLM systems and formal product release, configuration management, and engineering change-control processes.
• Experience supporting both NPI and sustaining engineering within production environments.
• Strong understanding of electrical safety, reliability, and compliance considerations.
• Excellent attention to detail and documentation discipline, particularly in fast-paced environments with frequent engineering changes.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across electrical, mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain disciplines.
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly during design reviews and with both technical and business stakeholders.
• Comfortable working as an independent technical owner without direct managerial responsibility.
• Willingness to support occasional domestic and international travel, up to approximately 25%.

Benefits:

• Base salary range of $100,100–$180,200, with the actual offer determined by qualifications, experience, geographic location, education, market data, and internal equity.
• Eligibility for a short-term performance-based incentive.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance plans.
• Paid time off, accruing at 3.07 hours during the first year of employment.
• Four weeks of paid parental leave.
• 11 company-paid holidays in 2027, consisting of 9 fixed holidays and 2 optional floating holidays, subject to annual changes.
• 401(k) retirement plan.
• Employee stock purchase plan.
• Remote work opportunity within the United States.
• Opportunity to contribute to large-scale data center infrastructure projects spanning power distribution, controls, and advanced cooling technologies.
• Up to 25% domestic and/or international travel, described as rare in the source posting.
