Sr. Electrical Engineer - Power

Vertiv · Delaware

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
