What You’ll Do

Lead Engineer – Systems Engineering

This role is responsible for leading systems engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) activities for complex electrical systems with a primary focus on data center power and infrastructure architectures. The position develops system architectures, requirements, digital models, and engineering analyses that support the design, validation, and optimization of next-generation data center solutions. The role serves as a technical leader for system modeling, architecture trade studies, and cross-domain integration, ensuring traceability from stakeholder needs through design, verification, and operational performance.

Systems Engineering & Architecture

• Apply Systems Engineering and MBSE methodologies to complex data centre electrical systems.
• Develop and manage requirements, functional, logical, and physical architectures.
• Define system interfaces, behaviors, operating modes, and V&V strategies.
• Develop CONOPS, operational scenarios, and maintain end-to-end requirements traceability.
• Conduct architecture assessments and trade‑off studies to support technical decision‑making.

Electrical System Analysis

• Perform power flow, voltage drop, power quality, short‑circuit, protection coordination, fault, and transient studies.
• Evaluate utility interconnections and MV/LV power distribution systems.

Data Center Infrastructure Modeling

• Analyze end-to-end power architectures from utility service entrance to IT loads.
• Evaluate switchgear, transformers, UPS, PDUs, busways, and rack‑level power distribution systems.
• Assess conventional, modular, distributed, and next‑generation data center power architectures.

Trade‑Off & Optimization Studies

• Conduct multi‑attribute trade‑space analyses for architecture selection.
• Evaluate solutions based on cost, efficiency, energy use, thermal performance, reliability, availability, resilience, scalability, maintainability, and footprint.
• Develop decision‑support models and recommend optimal solutions.

Validation & Verification

• Validate system models using design data, test results, supplier inputs, and operational scenarios.
• Ensure model fidelity, credibility, and compliance with program objectives.
• Support verification planning and lifecycle validation activities.

Reliability & Resilience Engineering

• Assess system reliability, availability, maintainability, and resilience.
• Analyze redundancy architectures (N, N+1, 2N), single points of failure, and operational risks.
• Apply reliability block diagrams and availability modeling techniques.

Cross‑Functional Technical Leadership

• Collaborate across electrical, controls, thermal, software, mechanical, reliability, and program teams.
• Act as the technical lead for data center system modeling and architecture initiatives.
• Drive systems engineering best practices, standards, and methodologies.
• Present complex technical findings and actionable recommendations to leadership, customers, and stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's/ Master Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Power Engineering, or a related discipline.

Preferred

• Minimum 10+ years of relevant experience in systems engineering, electrical power systems, or data center infrastructure engineering.

Skills

Systems Engineering & MBSE
