Sr. Electrical Engineer - Power

Vertiv is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer – Power to lead the electrical architecture and system integration of next-generation rack- and row-based infrastructure solutions supporting high-density compute and AI-driven data center applications.

In this role, you will own the electrical design and integration strategy across complex systems—including racks, power distribution, and thermal systems—ensuring scalable, compliant, and high-performance designs from concept through production.

You will work cross-functionally with global engineering, product management, procurement, and manufacturing teams, playing a key role in driving innovation, interoperability, and system-level performance across New Product Development (NPD) programs and customer solutions.

• Direct impact on next-generation data center and AI infrastructure solutions
• Ownership of system-level electrical architecture, not just component design 
• Work across electrical, mechanical, thermal, and controls integration challenges 
• High visibility within global NPD programs and customer-facing solutions 
• Opportunity to shape and influence electrical design standards and best practices at Vertiv

• Own the electrical architecture for rack- and row-based systems, including PDUs, containment systems, and integrated solutions 
• Define and manage interfaces between electrical, mechanical, thermal, and control subsystems 
• Ensure system-level integration meets requirements for performance, safety, and regulatory compliance 
• Evaluate and ensure electrical compatibility, interoperability, and integration across system components

• Develop electrical system designs, including: 
  • Single-line and three-line schematics
  • Power distribution and load calculations
  • Grounding and bonding systems
  • Monitoring and control architectures
• Perform short-circuit, fault, and coordination analysis 
• Select and specify electrical components and assemblies aligned with NPD and project requirements
• Ensure compliance with NEC, UL/IEC 62368-1, IEC 60364, IEC 61000, EN 55032, and related standards

• Lead and contribute to cross-functional design reviews
• Collaborate with product management, mechanical/thermal engineering, and manufacturing teams
• Provide engineering guidance during factory integration, testing, and production
• Mentor and support development of junior engineers

• Contribute to and refine Vertiv’s electrical design standards and “playbook” 
• Drive improvements in system interoperability, serviceability, manufacturability, and scalability 
• Help adapt and operationalize internal guidelines for use in NPD and customer projects 
• Stay current on emerging technologies and best practices in electrical design and data center infrastructure

• Support pre-sales activities, including solution development, quotations, and technical presentations 
• Partner with procurement and suppliers on component selection and sourcing 
• Provide technical support to manufacturing, testing, and field teams 
• Manage multiple concurrent projects while balancing technical depth and execution timelines

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or equivalent 
• 7+ years of experience in electrical design for complex systems or NPD 
• Strong understanding of electrical safety, EMC, and regulatory standards 
• Experience with power system design, distribution, and system integration 
• Ability to interpret and create electrical drawings, schematics, and specifications 
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills 
• Self-motivated with the ability to take ownership and drive results

• Experience in data center infrastructure, power systems, or integrated platforms 
• Master’s degree or Professional Engineer (PE) license 
• Familiarity with tools such as Creo, Revit, AutoCAD (3D routing/modeling) 
• Experience with factory integration, system validation, or customer deployments 
• Knowledge of short-circuit and coordination studies

• A systems thinker who can operate at both architecture and detailed design levels
• A hands-on engineer who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments
• Someone who takes ownership, drives decisions, and delivers results
• A collaborator who can influence across engineering, product, and operations teams
