Electrical Engineer - Data Centers

Responsibilities We are seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer with a strong background in data center design to join our data center procurement team, which supports our growing development pipeline. This team is responsible for establishing equipment standards, evaluating long-lead vendors, and driving technical decision-making that supports OFCI procurement strategies. This individual will play a key role in the design, technical evaluation, and delivery of complex, mission‑critical facilities and should have deep experience in high‑reliability power systems, redundancy, and large‑scale electrical infrastructure. This position will be based full‑time at our Hudson Yards headquarters. Lead and coordinate electrical design for data center projects from concept through construction, ensuring alignment with procurement strategy and long‑lead equipment requirements. Develop and review power system layouts, single‑line diagrams, load calculations, and technical specifications for OFCI equipment such as switchgear, UPS, generators, and PDUs. Support vendor prequalification, bid evaluation, and equipment standardization across the platform. Ensure electrical designs meet project performance goals, code requirements, and industry standards (NEC, IEEE, NFPA 70E). Collaborate closely with internal project managers, procurement leads, mechanical engineers, construction teams, and external consultants to ensure coordinated technical solutions. Evaluate utility service requirements and coordinate with local utility providers for medium‑and high‑voltage service connections. Review and approve submittals, RFIs, and shop drawings during construction. Support commissioning activities and validate system performance, redundancy, and reliability. Participate in value engineering, risk assessments, and constructability reviews. Stay current on emerging technologies, sustainable energy solutions, high‑density cooling/power trends, and innovations in electrical equipment manufacturing. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline; PE license preferred. 5-10 years of professional experience in electrical design, with a focus on data centers, mission‑critical facilities, or large‑scale commercial infrastructure. Deep understanding of power distribution systems, UPS, generators, grounding, lighting, and fire alarm systems. Familiarity with power modeling and load analysis software (e.g., SKM, ETAP, Revit MEP). Strong technical writing, organization, and communication skills. Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment. Collaborative mindset and ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams and external partners. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and are deliberate about the team and culture we are building. We aim to ensure competitive total compensation that is commensurate with experience, workplace geography, and market standards. #J-18808-Ljbffr
