Job Description

Job Summary

Vertiv is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer – Power to lead the electrical architecture and system integration of next-generation rack- and row-based infrastructure solutions supporting high-density compute and AI-driven data center applications.

In this role, you will own the electrical design and integration strategy across complex systems—including racks, power distribution, and thermal systems—ensuring scalable, compliant, and high-performance designs from concept through production.

You will work cross-functionally with global engineering, product management, procurement, and manufacturing teams, playing a key role in driving innovation, interoperability, and system-level performance across New Product Development (NPD) programs and customer solutions.

Why This Role is Exciting

Direct impact on next-generation data center and AI infrastructure solutionsOwnership of system-level electrical architecture, not just component designWork across electrical, mechanical, thermal, and controls integration challengesHigh visibility within global NPD programs and customer-facing solutionsOpportunity to shape and influence electrical design standards and best practices at Vertiv

Key Responsibilities

1. Electrical Architecture & System Integration

Own the electrical architecture for rack- and row-based systems, including PDUs, containment systems, and integrated solutionsDefine and manage interfaces between electrical, mechanical, thermal, and control subsystemsEnsure system-level integration meets requirements for performance, safety, and regulatory complianceEvaluate and ensure electrical compatibility, interoperability, and integration across system components

1. Electrical Design & Analysis

Develop electrical system designs, including:Single-line and three-line schematicsPower distribution and load calculationsGrounding and bonding systemsMonitoring and control architecturesPerform short-circuit, fault, and coordination analysisSelect and specify electrical components and assemblies aligned with NPD and project requirementsEnsure compliance with NEC, UL/IEC 62368-1, IEC 60364, IEC 61000, EN 55032, and related standards

1. Cross-Functional Leadership

Lead and contribute to cross-functional design reviewsCollaborate with product management, mechanical/thermal engineering, and manufacturing teamsProvide engineering guidance during factory integration, testing, and productionMentor and support development of junior engineers

1. Continuous Improvement & Standards

Contribute to and refine Vertiv’s electrical design standards and “playbook”Drive improvements in system interoperability, serviceability, manufacturability, and scalabilityHelp adapt and operationalize internal guidelines for use in NPD and customer projectsStay current on emerging technologies and best practices in electrical design and data center infrastructure

1. Customer & Business Support

Support pre-sales activities, including solution development, quotations, and technical presentationsPartner with procurement and suppliers on component selection and sourcingProvide technical support to manufacturing, testing, and field teamsManage multiple concurrent projects while balancing technical depth and execution timelines
