About the job Electrical Process Design Engineer | Iskandar Puteri

Company Background: A leading manufacturer of prefabricated modular data center solutions, specialize in the data center and power systems industry. With R&D facilities in Shanghai and high-end manufacturing plants in Shanghai and Malaysia, it delivers innovative solutions for hyperscale data center projects globally. The company is located in Johor Bahru, and the actual working location is subject to the project.

• Responsible for the overall integrated design of prefabricated power distribution containers (low/medium voltage) and diesel generator containers in data centers, ensuring high power supply reliability (Tier III/IV).
• Design seamless switching (<10ms) of diesel generator paralleling, ATS switching, and UPS/HVDC interlocking under 2N/DR/RR architectures.
• Optimize electrical interfaces, communication protocols, and thermal layout between diesel generator and distribution containers to ensure system compatibility.

• Complete primary/secondary system diagrams, 3D container layouts (BIM), cable routing, and grounding system design.
• Perform calculations for short-circuit current, harmonic suppression, and thermal-dynamic stability to ensure component selection (circuit breakers, busbars, generators) meets extreme load conditions.
• Design structures resistant to earthquakes (Level 8), typhoons (up to Level 14), and water ingress (IP55+), adapting to harsh environments.
• Integrate SCADA systems for real-time monitoring of generator status, fuel level, temperature, and emissions (Modbus TCP/SNMP).
• Design AI-based energy management features (load balancing, optimal generator operating range) to reduce PUE to 1.4.

• Collaborate with supply chain, quality, production, and construction teams to complete prefabricated container production and site deployment.
• Participate in type testing (temperature rise, short-circuit withstand, black start testing) and produce test reports.

• Design Tasks: Analyze client needs or design institute drawings, create detailed designs that meet functional requirements while reducing cost and improving efficiency without compromising quality or manufacturability.
• Supplier Evaluation: Technically assess new suppliers to ensure they can meet design requirements.
• Cross-Department Support: Ensure DFX analysis of drawings and BOMs supports supply chain, quality control, and production efficiency.
• Production Documentation: Prepare SOPs, MBOMs, DFMEA/PFMEA, and other supporting documentation.
• Process Improvement: Review and improve current manufacturing processes and technical transformation plans.
• Project Management: Responsible for controlling project scope, quality, and cost, while proactively mitigating risks.
• Other Tasks: Cooperate actively with additional assignments arranged by leadership.

• Educational Background: Bachelors degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, Mechanical Design, or related fields.
• Technical Proficiency:
  • Proficient in data center power supply systems (MV/LV/UPS/generator coordination).
  • Skilled in AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN/Leads/See, Revit (BIM); familiar with ETAP/SKM (electrical power analysis).
  • Proficient in Office tools and Project Management software (MS Project).
  • Familiar with generator system configurations (Caterpillar/Cummins/MTU), paralleling, and emission control.
• Ensure designs meet ISO, Uptime Tier, TLC, CE, GB 50174, ANSI/TIA-942, UL, and other relevant certification standards.
• Address environmental compliance (China Stage VI / EPA Tier 4 emissions, 85dB noise).

• 5+ years of experience in power supply or generator container design for data centers; led projects 1MW.
• Experience in integrated design of prefabricated power modules or containerized data center projects preferred.
• Strong project management and coordination skills; PMP certification is a plus.

• Systems Thinking: Able to coordinate design across power, generator, HVAC, and monitoring systems.
• Problem-Solving: Skilled in tackling challenges such as high-density heat dissipation, EMC interference, and fast switching.
• Communication & Collaboration: Work effectively with electrical, structural, HVAC, and BMS teams.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Capable of communicating with clients, vendors, third-party testers, and equipment suppliers to achieve technical alignment.
• Main Deliverables: Electrical system drawings and corresponding BOMs for procurement, quality assurance, and production execution.
• Proficient in both written and spoken Mandarin, essential for communication with Chinese institutions.

• Holds CDCP/CDCS (data center certifications) or is a registered Electrical Engineer (Power Transmission).
• Familiar with edge data center container design (2000kW).
• Knowledge of hybrid power trends (e.g., hydrogen backup, lithium battery storage).
