Director, Data Center Design-Electrical Engineering Design

** Job Description*
* This is a senior leadership role that requires strong technical depth, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to lead teams through growth, complexity, and fast-paced execution. The successful candidate will build and lead a high-performing electrical engineering team, partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders, and drive consistent, high-quality design outcomes that support OCI's business objectives for capacity growth, reliability, speed to market, and operational excellence.

As a Director in this organization, you will be expected to operate both strategically and tactically-setting vision for the function while also engaging on critical technical decisions, complex design challenges, and organizational priorities.

** Responsibilities*
* + Lead and develop a team of electrical engineers supporting OCI's data center design initiatives.

+ Provide technical and organizational leadership for the design, review, and continuous improvement of mission-critical electrical systems supporting OCI data centers.

+ Establish and drive engineering standards, design guidelines, and best practices that improve consistency, quality, scalability, and execution across a growing portfolio.

+ Establish team norms and leadership expectations that reinforce individual and collective ownership, disciplined execution, and a bias for resolving issues rather than escalating them without recommendations.

+ Partner closely with Design Management, Mechanical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Construction, Commissioning, Operations, Supply Chain, and other partner teams to ensure alignment across the full project lifecycle.

+ Act as a senior escalation point for complex electrical engineering issues, design tradeoffs, risk evaluations, and technical decision-making.

+ Drive lessons learned and continuous improvement efforts by incorporating operational feedback, project outcomes, and field experience into future standards and designs.

+ Represent the electrical engineering function in leadership reviews, cross-organizational discussions, and strategic planning efforts.

+ Build organizational capability through hiring, team development, talent planning, and creation of scalable engineering processes and workflows.

Travel 25% and at times more, is required.

** Required Qualifications*
* + Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field.

+ 6+ years of experience leading engineering teams, or technical lead experience with experience managing other managers or leads.

+ Deep knowledge of electrical systems used in mission-critical facilities, including medium- and low-voltage distribution, standby generation, UPS systems, switch gear, PDUs, grounding, and associated infrastructure.

+ Experience in a hyperscale cloud, colocation, or large-scale mission-critical infrastructure environment.

+ Familiarity with power requirements for high-density compute environments and the interaction between electrical and cooling infrastructure.

+ Demonstrated experience leading technical reviews, driving engineering quality, and making sound decisions on complex electrical design issues.

+ Strong understanding of the data center project lifecycle, including planning, design, construction, commissioning, and operational considerations.

+ Proven ability to lead through ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and deliver results in a fast-paced, rapidly scaling environment.

+ Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical, operational, and executive stakeholders.

+ Experience building cross-functional partnerships and influencing decisions across multiple organizations.

** Preferred Qualifications*
* + Experience developing and implementing engineering standards, design guidelines, and scalable processes across a global portfolio.

+ Experience managing external design consultants and engineering service providers.

+ Experience supporting organizational growth through hiring, team development, and talent planning.

+ Strong understanding of reliability, maintainability, power quality, and operational risk considerations for critical infrastructure systems.
