Submer designs and delivers end‑to‑end AI datacenter infrastructure built around industry‑leading liquid cooling. We help organizations scale AI beyond the limits of traditional datacenters by enabling higher density, greater efficiency and lower environmental impact – accelerating time‑to‑AI from first deployment to full production.

What impact you will have

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the design and delivery of electrical systems for high‑density data centers, including both conventional and direct liquid cooling (DLC) facilities. This role is focused on ensuring safe, resilient, and scalable electrical infrastructure; from utility interface down to rack‑level distribution, supporting mission‑critical environments and next‑generation compute platforms. The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise with hands‑on project experience and thrives in multidisciplinary teams delivering complex data center projects.

What this role offers you:

• Lead a landmark AI data center project:
  Phase 1 of a 100 MW “AI factory” in Georgia, fast‑track, hyperscale, high‑density – not a traditional colocation or enterprise facility.
• Work at the forefront of AI infrastructure:
  Gain unique, marketable experience designing state‑of‑the‑art power, cooling, and compute systems.
• Fast‑paced, high‑impact environment:
  Contribute to a project that pushes the boundaries of scale, density, and next‑generation data center design.

• Develop end‑to‑end electrical designs for data centers (MV, LV, UPS, generators, busbars, PDUs, rack‑level distribution).
• Produce detailed schematics, one‑line diagrams, layout drawings, and technical specifications.
• Integrate electrical design with mechanical and IT systems, focusing on DLC requirements and interfaces.
• Lead design reviews and ensure compliance with project requirements, client standards, and industry best practices.

• Perform load flow, short‑circuit, selectivity, and reliability studies using industry‑standard tools.
• Specify and validate switch gear, transformers, busbar systems, protective devices, and cabling for high‑current distribution.
• Evaluate redundancy schemes (N, N+1, 2N) and contribute to Tier certification requirements.

• Support procurement, vendor evaluation, and technical submittal reviews.
• Oversee factory acceptance tests (FATs), site acceptance tests (SATs), commissioning, and handover activities.
• Troubleshoot electrical issues, drive root cause analysis, and implement corrective measures.

• Ensure all designs comply with NEC/IEC codes, local regulations, and global data center standards.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including specifications, test protocols, and O&M manuals.
• Contribute to risk assessments, method statements, and safety compliance plans.

• Work closely with clients, architects, mechanical engineers, and IT specialists to deliver integrated solutions.
• Provide subject matter expertise on DLC‑specific electrical design challenges (higher rack densities, liquid‑to‑liquid interfaces, safety protocols).

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field).
• Minimum of 8 years of proven experience in mission‑critical electrical design with at least 6 years in large‑scale, high‑density, fast‑track data center project delivery.
• AI infrastructure experience is a plus.
• Strong knowledge of power distribution from MV/LV down to rack‑level (busbars, PDUs, server power delivery).
• Experience with direct liquid cooling (DLC) environments and high‑density compute facilities.
• Strong understanding of Tier certification requirements, electrical codes (NEC, IEC), and international standards.
• Excellent problem‑solving, analytical, and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with…
