Sr. Electrical Engineer - Power

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 solutions

* Ownership of system-level electrical architecture, not just component design

* Work across electrical, mechanical, thermal, and controls integration challenges

* High visibility within global NPD programs and customer-facing solutions

* Opportunity 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 solutions

* Define and manage interfaces between electrical, mechanical, thermal, and control subsystems

* Ensure system-level integration meets requirements for performance, safety, and regulatory compliance

* Evaluate and ensure electrical compatibility, interoperability, and integration across system components

2. Electrical Design & Analysis

* Develop electrical system designs, including:

* Single-line and three-line schematics

* Power distribution and load calculations

* Grounding and bonding systems

* Monitoring and control architectures

* Perform short-circuit, fault, and coordination analysis

* Select and specify electrical components and assemblies aligned with NPD and project requirements

* Ensure compliance with NEC, UL/IEC 62368-1, IEC 60364, IEC 61000, EN 55032, and related standards

3. Cross-Functional Leadership

* Lead and contribute to cross-functional design reviews

* Collaborate with product management, mechanical/thermal engineering, and manufacturing teams

* Provide engineering guidance during factory integration, testing, and production

* Mentor and support development of junior engineers

4. Continuous Improvement & Standards

* Contribute to and refine Vertiv's electrical design standards and "playbook"

* Drive improvements in system interoperability, serviceability, manufacturability, and scalability

* Help adapt and operationalize internal guidelines for use in NPD and customer projects

* Stay current on emerging technologies and best practices in electrical design and data center infrastructure

5. Customer & Business Support

* Support pre-sales activities, including solution development, quotations, and technical presentations

* Partner with procurement and suppliers on component selection and sourcing

* Provide technical support to manufacturing, testing, and field teams

* Manage multiple concurrent projects while balancing technical depth and execution timelines

Qualifications

Required

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or equivalent

* 7+ years of experience in electrical design for complex systems or NPD

* Strong understanding of electrical safety, EMC, and regulatory standards

* Experience with power system design, distribution, and system integration

* Ability to interpret and create electrical drawings, schematics, and specifications

* Strong problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills

* Self-motivated with the ability to take ownership and drive results

Preferred

* Experience in data center infrastructure, power systems, or integrated platforms

* Master's degree or Professional Engineer (PE) license

* Familiarity with tools such as Creo, Revit, AutoCAD (3D routing/modeling)

* Experience with factory integration, system validation, or customer deployments

* Knowledge of short-circuit and coordination studies

What We're Looking For

* A systems thinker who can operate at both architecture and detailed design levels

* A hands-on engineer who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments

* Someone who takes ownership, drives decisions, and delivers results

* A collaborator who can influence across engineering, product, and operations teams
