Giga Energy is a company specializing in the manufacturing and supply of electrical equipment and modular data centers. They provide a wide range of products including 3-phase and 1-phase padmount transformers, substation transformers, and UL 891 switchboards. Their transformers are designed to support both commercial and industrial power distribution needs, while their modular data centers, such as the Giga Box Air™ and Giga Box Hydro™, cater to efficient data management and are particularly designed for bitcoin mining. Giga Energy is committed to high quality, fast lead times, and exceptional customer service in delivering infrastructure solutions that energize the modern world.

📋 Description

• Develop and maintain the electrical POR for Giga Data Centers, defining the "Gold Standard" design that enables manufacturing of reliability and efficiency at scale. • Author and own the internal engineering library including technical specifications and Basis of Design documents for all power systems, establishing what we build and how we measure success. • Design to global and local standards, ensuring strict compliance with the NEC (NFPA 70), NFPA 70E, and IEEE standards for mission-critical power distribution. • Guide external engineering (A&E) firms to localize designs while maintaining strict adherence to core power performance intent and standardization requirements. • Execute rigorous power system studies, including load flow, short circuit, protective device coordination, and arc flash analysis to ensure system resilience and safety. • Engineer complex, high-density power distribution topologies (Medium Voltage down to the rack PDU) aligned with OCP (Open Compute Project) specifications for AI interoperability. • Select and specify medium/low voltage switchgear, generators, UPS systems, transformers, ATS/STS units, and high-ampacity busways for high-density compute environments. • Create detailed Bills of Material (BOMs), Quantity Take Offs (QTOs), and Commissioning scripts to support a manufacturing-first supply chain. • Develop Sequence of Operations (SOO) and Control Narratives for EPMS/BMS integration, dictating how electrical systems respond to utility failures and dynamic AI load changes. • Use advanced simulation tools to optimize power system reliability and validate designs before manufacturing.

🎯 Requirements

• Professional Engineer (PE) license required. • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering. • 7+ years of electrical engineering experience with a strong focus on mission-critical, data center, or heavy industrial facilities. • Deep working knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC/NFPA 70) and relevant IEEE standards. • Strong background in electrical system analysis using tools like ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or EasyPower. • Experience with relay programming and protection coordination schemes. • Proficiency in Revit/AutoCAD for electrical design. • Proven ability to create engineering standards from scratch rather than just copying legacy reference designs. • Strong understanding of high-density power solutions (100kW+ racks) and modern data center topologies (distributed redundant, block redundant, etc.). • Experience specifying heavy electrical equipment including MV/LV switchgear, generators, and large-scale UPS systems. • Track record developing standardized designs for scalable deployment. • Understanding of OCP (Open Compute Project) power initiatives, including Open Rack architectures and 48V DC power shelves. (Bonus) • Experience with utility grid interconnection and medium/high voltage substation design. (Bonus) • Background in Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) and SCADA integration. (Bonus) • Experience with a manufacturing-first design approach (DfMA principles). (Bonus) • Startup or high-growth company experience (Bonus). • Track record creating Plans of Record for manufactured products (Bonus). • Experience managing A&E firms and maintaining design standards across partners (Bonus). • Familiarity with Level 1-5 commissioning processes and integrated systems testing (IST) for electrical infrastructure (Bonus).
