Job summary

Armada builds rugged, modular data centers bringing high‑density AI compute to locations where conventional data centers cannot go, scaling across international markets. You will own electrical design for modular units from single-line through commissioning, review vendor submittals, and support manufacturing partners across time zones.

This hands-on role requires debugging on site, coordinating with suppliers, and ensuring electrical systems meet multi‑jurisdictional codes while enabling rapid

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited program.
• 3–7 years of post‑degree experience in electrical design, with at least 2 years in data centers, mission‑critical facilities, industrial power, or equivalent complex power distribution.
• Knowledge of NEC (NFPA 70) and IEC‑based national codes; multi‑jurisdictional design experience a plus.
• Hands‑on experience with protection coordination and arc flash software (SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or similar).
• Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical and/or Revit MEP, plus Bluebeam Revu for submittal markup.
• Familiarity with UPS systems, switchgear, transformers, generator/ATS integration.
• Ability to read mechanical/structural drawings to catch interdisciplinary conflicts.
• Clear written communication for RFI responses and memos.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain electrical designs for modular containerized data centers: single-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, grounding, cable sizing, and raceway layouts across multiple LV distributions.
• Run protective device coordination, arc flash, and short-circuit studies in SKM, ETAP, or equivalent; produce labels and coordination reports for field use.
• Review vendor submittals for UPS, battery, cooling distribution units, switchgear, MDPs, PDUs, and generator/ATS packages; ensure conformance to specs.
• Support manufacturing partners: answer RFIs, resolve conflicts on layout and piping/cable routing, participate in factory witness testing.
• Coordinate with local Authorities Having Jurisdiction and ensure multi‑jurisdictional compliance across international codes.
• Produce clear engineering documentation: Statements of Requirements, design basis memos, block diagrams, and commissioning procedures.
• Collaborate with mechanical, controls, structural, and fire protection engineers; push back when needed.
• Support field commissioning and troubleshooting, including occasional international travel to manufacturing partner sites.
