Designer/Detailer (Electrical/Controls), Modular R&D

Job Description

Job Description

The Talent Mine is recruiting for a Designer/Detailer (Electrical/Controls) for a full-time, in-office position in Austin, Texas. You will in work in modularization R&D for our client that is singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. They acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are their key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

How We Operate

• Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
• We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
• The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
• If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

The Modular Team

The Modular team designs and builds factory-produced data center modules, taking gigawatt-scale infrastructure from site-built construction to repeatable manufacturing.

Examples of key problems the team is working on:

• Design first-of-a-kind modular data centers that a factory can build, ship, and commission on repeat.
• Produce installation-level electrical and controls packages that fabricators and electricians build from without engineering support on the floor.
• Standardize the design system, libraries, templates, and BOM structures, so every unit is faster to detail and build than the last.
• Absorb rapid engineering changes across in-flight units without breaking configuration control.

Role Scope

• Produce the detailed electrical and controls models and drawings the factory builds from: panels, raceway, cable schedules, and terminations fully detailed, no gaps left to field interpretation.
• Detail to installation level: conduit and cable tray runs, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and BOM-linked parts accurate enough that the shop orders and builds straight from the package.
• Turn engineering changes into updated, released packages in days, with revisions tracked cleanly so no one builds from a stale sheet.
• Own the model's cleanliness: build and maintain the standards, symbol libraries, and templates that make the next unit faster to detail than the last.
• Close out drawing issues at the source, fixing the template or standard that caused the question, not just the sheet.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

• You've detailed electrical or controls packages for fabrication or modular assemblies, in a panel shop, UL 508A builder, or industrial automation integrator.
• You live in an electrical CAD platform; wiring diagrams and cable schedules are your daily output, not an occasional task.
• Shops and electricians build from your drawings without calling. When they do call, you change the template or standard so that category of call never happens again.
• You model to standards and maintain library discipline: you build and curate symbol libraries and templates instead of just consuming them.
• You handle revision storms without version chaos; the released package is always the one being built.
• You know how things get installed: bend radii, terminations, and the clearances real electricians need, and your drawings reflect it.
• Bonus: AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN, plant and BIM modeling (Revit, Plant 3D), panel and wiring diagram standards, and BIM coordination experience.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
