Senior Electrical Engineer

MARA is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the design, construction, and commissioning of data center facilities and major power infrastructure projects. The role serves as the electrical design authority across the full project lifecycle, overseeing power systems, technical studies, consultants, procurement, commissioning, and mentorship for multidisciplinary teams.

Responsibilities

Serves as the electrical design authority for multiple concurrent data center development projects, responsible for the electrical Basis of Design (BOD) and design standards and ensuring consistency across the portfolio

Leads and reviews electrical designs, calculations, and studies including load flow, short-circuit, protective device coordination, arc flash, and grounding studies—from concept through as-built

Prepares conceptual design and major equipment sizing for respective datacenter projects

Directs the design of medium and high-voltage power distribution, UPS, standby generation, switchgear, PDUs/RPPs, busway, and critical power systems with appropriate redundancy topologies (e.g., N+1, 2N)

Provides technical electrical direction across engineering, procurement, construction, and operations phases, resolving complex design and field issues as they arise

Manages and coordinates with external engineering consultants, EPC contractors, and vendors, reviewing their deliverables for technical accuracy, code compliance, constructability, and cost-effectiveness

Leads technical due diligence for site selection and feasibility, evaluating power availability, utility interconnection, and electrical infrastructure constraints

Performs efficiency reviews and value-engineering of existing, vendor, or consultant designs to optimize capital cost, energy efficiency (PUE), reliability, and schedule

Supports procurement of long-lead electrical equipment and materials—developing technical specifications and bid packages, evaluating vendors, and making sourcing recommendations

Supports installation, testing, and commissioning (Lx levels) of electrical and associated systems, and leads troubleshooting throughout the project lifecycle

Collaborates with cross-functional teams, including contractors, architects, mechanical engineers, commissioning engineers, and construction managers to integrate electrical systems into the overall facility design

Provides technical guidance and mentorship to electrical engineers, project managers, and project staff, and represents the electrical discipline in design reviews and project meetings

Stays current on the latest data center power, cooling, and electrical infrastructure technologies, as well as mining and AI/HPC compute optimizations

Effectively communicates complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, executives, and clients through clear written and verbal deliverables

Travels 20–30% of the time, primarily within the American continent
