Job summary

Celestica International LP is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer & Engineering Team Lead to define the technical foundation, architect next-generation power solutions, and guide a multi-disciplinary engineering design team. You will own the end-to-end systems engineering lifecycle, bridging product management requirements with physical engineering execution.

You will drive architecture for multi-MW modular infrastructure up to MV, ensuring safety, resilience, and rapid deployment, with

Qualifications

• 8+ years in heavy industrial power systems design, power generation, utility-scale renewables, or data center infrastructure engineering.
• 3+ years in a formal technical leadership or engineering management role leading cross-functional teams (Electrical, Mechanical, and Controls).
• Proven experience bringing complex, modular, or containerized capital equipment products from concept to commercial manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Lead a Multidisciplinary Team: Direct, mentor, and build a high-performing design team consisting of electrical, mechanical, and controls/software engineers.
• Engineering Governance: Establish robust engineering workflows, design standards, and enforce peer-review processes to ensure institutional quality and safety.
• Resource & Project Coordination: Collaborate with Project Management to assign engineering resources, manage design schedule, and achieve timely product deliverables.
• Requirements Ownership: Translate high-level market requirements (MRDs) into rigorous, traceable system-level technical requirements, functional specifications, and interface control documents (ICDs).
• System-Level Architecture: Oversee the architecture and development of robust 3-phase electrical power distribution systems. Define the electrical, mechanical, thermal, and logical boundaries and interfaces.
• Verification & Validation (V&V): Formulate comprehensive verification matrices, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) protocols, and field commissioning guidelines to validate system performance.
• Critical Component Integration: Evaluate, specify, and select heavy electrical subsystems including high-capacity double-conversion UPS systems, static transfer switches (STS), switchgear, protective relays, and other critical subsystems.
• Engineering Studies: Direct and review system modeling analyses, including short-circuit, protective relay coordination, arc flash, and harmonic mitigation studies.
• Compliance Alignment: Ensure all system architectures natively comply with industry-defining standards (e.g., UL 9540A for BESS, UL 891/1558 for switchgear, NFPA 70/70E, and CE/IEC equivalents).
• DFX (Design for X): Partner with manufacturing and service teams to optimize designs for manufacturability, transportability, and fast field installation.
