Job description

About Us

We are an early-stage technology company operating at the intersection of Energy and AI infrastructure , focused on developing a new generation of efficient and scalable computing infrastructure.

Our approach combines distributed computing, modular infrastructure and energy efficiency to support the rapidly growing demand for AI and high-performance computing.

The company is developing a new model for deploying compute capacity in a flexible and scalable way, with a strong focus on efficiency, sustainability, reliability and responsible infrastructure development.

This is an opportunity to join a growing team at an early stage and contribute directly to the development of a new infrastructure platform, working at the intersection of power, data centers and advanced computing.

Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to join the team and take full ownership of the electrical systems across our product family. You will drive electrical architecture, technology selection, and detailed design for the Pod, Module, and Shell products. As owner across the product family you will also seek opportunities for cross-product optimization and standardization. This is a deeply technical role where you will own designs end-to-end, from first concept through prototype build, testing, validation, and production readiness. You will work across LV and MV power systems, collaborate closely with the mechanical and thermal engineering teams, and be a key technical voice in shaping how our infrastructure is powered.

What You Will Deliver

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role within a growing engineering team. You will play a key role in bringing a new generation of modular infrastructure products from concept to production, with the electrical architecture you define becoming an integral part of the products delivered to customers.

In your first year:
You will own the electrical system design of the company’s core product, taking it from system architecture through detailed engineering, testing and production readiness. In parallel, you will contribute to the electrical architecture and design of larger-scale systems, establishing a consistent electrical foundation across the broader product family.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the electrical system design of modular infrastructure products end-to-end, including technology selection, system architecture, detailed design, testing and validation

• Develop single-line diagrams, electrical schematics, cable schedules, protection coordination studies and panel layouts

• Size and specify LV and MV power distribution systems, protection devices, switchgear and cabling for industrial and outdoor environments

• Design interfaces with battery energy storage systems and site-level power infrastructure, including metering and phase balancing

• Define and drive electrical testing and commissioning procedures from first prototype through production release

• Collaborate with mechanical and thermal engineers to integrate electrical systems within enclosure constraints, ensuring appropriate routing, clearances and serviceability

• Work with suppliers and contract partners to specify, procure and technically qualify electrical components and subsystems

• Maintain electrical design documentation, drawings and revision control in line with engineering standards

• Contribute to design reviews and cross-functional problem solving across hardware, thermal and electrical domains

• Research, evaluate and co-develop new technological solutions and approaches with academic and industry partners

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent field

• 5+ years of hands-on electrical system design experience, with systems delivered through prototype, commissioning or production

• Strong experience in LV and MV power distribution system design, up to 35 kV

• Proficiency with electrical design tools such as EPLAN Electric P8, AutoCAD Electrical or equivalent

• Experience with protection coordination, load flow analysis and fault-level calculations

• Solid knowledge of relevant electrical standards, such as IEC 60364, IEC 61439, EN 50600 or equivalent

• Experience designing power systems for industrial, energy or infrastructure applications

• Ability to work comfortably at both system architecture and detailed design levels

• Strong understanding of electrical safety requirements

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, early-stage environment with a high degree of ownership and autonomy

• Professional working proficiency in English

Nice to Have

• Experience with battery energy storage systems, renewable energy integration or off-grid power systems

• Background in edge computing, modular infrastructure, data centers or outdoor-deployed industrial equipment

• Familiarity with power quality analysis, harmonic mitigation or grid interconnection requirements

• Experience with control and monitoring system integration, including PLC, SCADA, BMS or DCIM

• Knowledge of EMC and EMI requirements for mixed-signal power and IT environments

• Previous experience in a hardware startup or scale-up where engineering scope and pace required broad ownership

Salary Expectation

40.000€ - 80.000€ + equity (The compensation package will be determined based on the candidate’s seniority, experience, and level of expertise.)

Location
