Key Responsibilities

1. Customer & Solution Engagement

• Engage customers and project stakeholders to define electrical system requirements, load profiles, and redundancy levels (Tier I–IV).
• Provide technical consultation and conceptual design solutions that align with customer capacity, uptime, and energy efficiency goals.
• Support sales and solutioning teams in developing technical proposals, equipment strategies, and high-level power distribution concepts during pre-sales and tender stages.

2. Electrical Design Management

• Lead and manage the electrical design process for data center projects, including medium-voltage (MV) and low-voltage (LV) distribution systems, UPS, switchgear, PDUs, busway, standby generators, and emergency systems.
• Develop system architecture and single-line diagrams (SLDs), power flow studies, and fault-level analyses to ensure reliability and compliance.
• Review and validate detailed design deliverables prepared by consultants or contractors to maintain design intent, coordination, and constructability.

3. Technical Leadership & Design Reviews

• Provide technical leadership on electrical engineering principles, ensuring alignment with Uptime Tier standards, IEC, IEEE, and NEC requirements.
• Conduct formal design reviews and technical audits at key project milestones (concept, schematic, detailed design, and IFC).
• Ensure designs are optimized for cost, performance, scalability, and operational maintainability.

4. Compliance, Standards & Quality Control

• Ensure electrical systems comply with local authority codes, international standards, and company design guidelines.
• Lead initiatives to develop, maintain, and improve DayOne’s electrical design standards, design manuals, and technical libraries.
• Implement design QA/QC protocols to verify accuracy, completeness, and quality of deliverables.

5. Innovation & System Optimization

• Drive research and implementation of new technologies in data center electrical systems, including modular switchgear, high-efficiency UPS, busway distribution, and renewable or hybrid power integration.
• Conduct system reliability assessments (e.g., failure mode analysis) and energy efficiency optimization for power distribution systems.

6. Vendor & Stakeholder Coordination

• Coordinate with equipment vendors and suppliers to evaluate and select electrical components based on project requirements, lifecycle cost, and technical performance.
• Work closely with construction teams to ensure smooth transition from design to installation and commissioning.
• Provide technical Q&A and troubleshooting support for electrical issues during construction and commissioning stages.

7. Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare, review, and maintain technical documentation, including schematics, specifications, reports, and as-built records.
• Support internal reporting on project progress, design risks, and cost-performance analysis.

Job Requirements

Education & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Master’s degree and/or Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent registration is an advantage.

Experience

• Minimum 8–10 years of experience in electrical design and design management within the data center or mission-critical infrastructure sectors.
• Proven experience leading electrical system design from concept to completion, with deep understanding of redundant power architectures (N, N+1, 2N) and high-availability system design.
• Track record of delivering large-scale data center projects (>20 MW IT load) or comparable mission-critical facilities.

Technical Expertise

• Strong proficiency in power system analysis, including load flow, short circuit, and protection coordination studies.
• In-depth understanding of MV/LV distribution, UPS topologies, generator systems, earthing/bonding, and lighting and control systems.
• Familiar with battery energy storage systems (BESS), renewable energy integration, and on-site generation strategies is advantageous.
• Deep knowledge of NEC, IEC, IEEE, and local authority regulations applicable to electrical design and installation.

Skills & Competencies

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to resolve design and construction challenges effectively.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, capable of articulating technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Fluent in English (spoken and written); Japanese or a third language is a plus.
• Proficient in MS Office, AutoCAD, and Revit (BIM); experience with ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or similar analysis software is preferred.
• Ability to work under pressure, manage multiple priorities, and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.
