[Remote] Electrical Design Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Armada is a full-stack edge infrastructure company delivering compute, connectivity, and sovereign AI/ML. They are seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to manage the electrical design for modular data centers, ensuring compliance and supporting manufacturing partners across multiple time zones.ResponsibilitiesDevelop and maintain electrical designs for modular containerized data centers: single-line diagrams, load calculations, panel schedules, grounding, cable sizing, and raceway layouts across multiple low-voltage distribution standards (480 V and other international LV systems)Run protective device coordination, arc flash, and short-circuit studies in SKM, ETAP, or equivalent. Produce labels and coordination reports that will be used in the fieldReview and redline vendor submittals for UPS systems, battery systems, cooling distribution units, switchgear, main distribution boards, PDUs, and generator/ATS packages. Hold vendors accountable to the spec; flag discrepancies earlySupport manufacturing partners: answer RFIs, resolve conflicts on layout and piping/cable routing, and participate in factory witness testingContribute to multi-jurisdictional compliance across a range of international electrical, fire, and mission-critical facility codes, and coordinate with local Authorities Having JurisdictionProduce clear engineering documentation: Statements of Requirements, design basis memos, block diagrams, and commissioning procedures. If you hate writing, this is not the jobWork alongside mechanical, controls, structural, and fire protection engineers — and with external consultants. You will be expected to push back when something is wrong, regardless of senioritySupport field commissioning and troubleshooting, including occasional international travel to manufacturing partner sites, deployments, and trade eventsSkillsBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited program3–7 years of post-degree experience in electrical design, with at least 2 years in data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial power, or equivalent complex power distributionDemonstrated working knowledge of the NEC (NFPA 70) and, ideally, one or more IEC-based national codes. Multi-jurisdictional design experience is a strong plusHands-on experience with protection coordination and arc flash software (SKM PowerTools, ETAP, EasyPower, or similar)Proficiency with AutoCAD Electrical and/or Revit MEP, plus Bluebeam Revu (or equivalent) for submittal markupFamiliarity with UPS systems (double-conversion topology, battery sizing, parallel operation), medium- and low-voltage switchgear, transformers, and generator/ATS integrationAbility to read mechanical and structural drawings well enough to catch interdisciplinary conflicts before they hit manufacturingClear written communication. You will be writing RFI responses, submittal reviews, and technical memos read by vendors and executivesPE or EIT licensure is a plus; neither is requiredExperience with containerized or modular/prefabricated data center productsKnowledge of high-density liquid-cooled GPU systems and their electrical implications — inrush, harmonics, rack-level power distribution, buswayWorking familiarity with battery chemistries beyond VRLA and lithium-ion, and with UL 9540A or equivalent large-scale battery testing requirementsFamiliarity with NFPA 70E, NFPA 75/76, NFPA 110, and NFPA 855 as they apply to mission-critical and energy storage installationsExperience coordinating with multiple AHJs and international insurance bodies on mission-critical approvalsExposure to BMS/DCIM integration, BACnet/Modbus, and the electrical side of controls handoffsExperience working with external manufacturing partners and consultants across multiple time zonesBenefitsEquitySubsidized benefitsCompetitive base salary and equityMedical, dental, and vision (subsidized cost)Health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and dependent care FSAs (DCFSA)Retirement plan options, including 401(k) and Roth 401(k)Unlimited paid time off (PTO)14 paid company holidays per yearCompany OverviewArmada develops computing infrastructure that supports AI processing, connectivity, and data management in remote environments.
