About AGI

Advanced Giga Inc. designs, fabricates, and deploys modular data center infrastructure for hyperscale operators. Our flagship products—the MDH (Modular Data Hall), MTCS (Modular Technology Cooling System), and MES (Modular Energy Server)—are factory-built, tested, and commissioned before they ever leave our facility. We are not a general contractor. We are an engineering-led manufacturer that owns the full lifecycle: design, fabrication, controls integration, factory acceptance testing, delivery, and on-site commissioning. Our clients include the largest cloud infrastructure providers in the world.

The Role

AGI is hiring a Senior Electrical Engineer to own the electrical design of our modular infrastructure products—from single-line diagrams through stamped construction documents and UL/ETL certification packages. You will be the engineering authority on medium and low voltage power distribution systems that serve some of the most demanding critical infrastructure in the world.

This is not a role where you hand a redline to a drafter and wait. You will execute your own designs in Revit when project timelines or team bandwidth require it. AGI’s models are the single source of truth that drives procurement, fabrication, and commissioning—and you need to be comfortable working inside that environment.

Your PE stamp carries weight here. Our modules ship to client sites across the country, so you need an NCEES record that allows you to obtain licensure in additional states as projects require. You will stamp drawings, review third-party engineering deliverables, and be AGI’s responsible engineer of record on the electrical discipline.

What You Will Actually Do

• Design medium and low voltage power distribution systems—transformers, switchgear, automatic transfer switches, UPS systems, busway distribution, bus plugs, panelboards, and downstream branch circuits
• Develop single-line diagrams, panel schedules, load calculations, short circuit and arc flash studies, coordination studies, and protective device settings
• Produce stamped electrical construction documents—plans, elevations, details, schedules, and specifications ready for permitting, fabrication, and certification
• Execute electrical designs in Revit when needed—route cable tray and conduit, place electrical equipment, build panel schedules, and produce drawing sheets directly from the model
• Lead UL/ETL certification efforts on the electrical discipline—prepare documentation packages, coordinate with listing agencies, support factory inspections
• Specify and select major electrical equipment—transformers (dry type, cast coil, MV), switchgear, UPS systems, PDUs, RPPs, busway (Starline and similar), protective devices
• Perform or manage arc flash hazard analysis, short circuit calculations, and protective device coordination to ensure selective coordination across the power distribution chain
• Review and coordinate with controls engineering on interface points—VFD communications, BMS integration, metering, and monitoring system requirements
• Evaluate and incorporate applicable codes and standards—NEC, NFPA 70E, NFPA 75, NFPA 855, IEEE standards, local building codes, and client-specific electrical requirements
• Coordinate with mechanical and structural disciplines on equipment placement, structural loading, thermal management, clearances, and NEC Article 110 working space
• Support factory acceptance testing (FAT) and on-site commissioning of electrical systems
• Review third-party engineering deliverables for compliance with AGI standards
• Manage your workload across multiple concurrent programs without constant oversight

Who You Are

• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Electrical Engineering with an active NCEES record allowing comity licensure in additional states
• 10+ years of electrical engineering experience with significant focus on medium voltage (up to 35kV) and low voltage power distribution system design
• Direct experience designing power distribution for data centers, mission-critical facilities, or advanced manufacturing environments
• Working proficiency in Revit—you can route cable tray and conduit, place and connect electrical equipment, create schedules, and produce drawing sheets
• Experience with UPS systems—both battery-based (lithium-ion and VRLA) and rotary/flywheel topologies—including sizing, integration, and maintenance bypass configurations
• Thorough understanding of busway distribution systems (Starline, Siemens, ABB, or equivalent)—sizing, tap-off configurations, bus plug selection
• Proficiency with power system analysis tools—SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or equivalent
• Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, NFPA 75, NFPA 855, IEEE standards (including 1584 arc flash)
• Experience specifying and coordinating major electrical equipment procurement
• Ability to manage your own workload across multiple concurrent projects without constant oversight

Preferred (Not Required)

• Experience with modular or prefabricated electrical systems—factory-built power distribution modules, skidded switchgear, packaged electrical solutions
• Experience with UL 508A, UL 891, UL 1558, UL 67, or UL 3223 listing processes
• Familiarity with Revit MEP Fabrication Parts and/or Families for electrical systems
• Experience designing to hyperscale data center operator specifications (AWS, Google, Microsoft, Meta)
• Knowledge of energy storage systems (BESS) including battery management systems, thermal runaway protection, and NFPA 855 compliance
• Experience with Dynamo or other Revit automation tools for electrical design workflows
• Familiarity with commissioning processes for critical power systems—NETA testing, ANSI/NETA ATS procedures, Cx documentation
• Background in power quality analysis—harmonics, power factor correction, transient voltage surge suppression

What We Offer

• Base salary: $150,000 - $190,000
• Ownership of your domain—you are the electrical engineering authority, your stamp is on the drawings, and your decisions shape what gets built
• Performance bonus tied to program delivery milestones
• Direct impact on a high-growth company at the intersection of manufacturing and critical infrastructure
• A technical leadership team that speaks your language (engineering-led company, not sales-led)
• The chance to build something from a formative stage—this is not a mature 500-person organization with established playbooks. We are building those playbooks, and the right person will help write them
