• Own the electrical distribution architecture for new skidded and modular coolant distribution unit (CDU) platforms and data center thermal management solutions.
• Design electrical systems featuring dual power, redundancy, safety interlocks, and advanced control systems.
• Design and select Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), motor controls, instrumentation, and telemetry for physical parameters (flow rate, pressure, temperature).
• Establish CAD and drawing standards, bill of materials conventions, and design-review practices.
• Lead electrical designs from concept through release to manufacturing, performing critical calculations (short circuit ratings, voltage drop, wire sizing, thermal loading).
• Partner with global teams, including Hong Kong engineering, to integrate sensors, fail-safe devices, automation solutions, and validation methods (DFMEA).
• Electrical design and component integration using GD&T, CAD, prints, specifications, DFMEA, and validation methods.
• Work with electrical, PLM, FEA, controls, and systems engineers to integrate electrical components, sensors, fail safe devices, redundancy, and automation solutions.
• Work with test personnel to validate and test products.
• Understand and apply industry standards UL 508A, NFPA 79, National Electric Code, IBC/IMC, UL/CSA, CE, OSHA, and Open Compute Project to products.
• Partner with global teams and the Hong Kong engineering team on global design activities.
• Drive design-for-manufacturability and design-for-serviceability.
• Travel: ~5 to 15%
