Jump's infrastructure team is a global organization of Engineers who architect, build, and maintain our world-class infrastructure. From colocation design and implementation, to optimizing exchange connectivity, to building low-latency wide area networks and world-class HPC research clusters, we leverage research and automation to consistently innovate and scale our infrastructure to drive our trading and evolving business.

We are looking for an experienced Electrical Engineer to lead the electrical engineering design and oversight of Jump's mission-critical HPC data center infrastructure. This role takes responsible charge of power system design, from medium voltage distribution through high-density rack-level delivery, across new builds, expansions, and ongoing operations. You will establish electrical design standards, perform engineer-of-record duties, and work closely with mechanical, structural, and technology teams to ensure integrated, resilient system design for our high-performance computing environments.

What You'll Do:

Electrical System Design & Standards
- Lead the electrical engineering design for Jump's critical HPC data center infrastructure projects, taking responsible charge for overall project delivery and technical excellence.
- Design/Review plans for  complex power systems including generator plants, medium voltage distribution, uninterruptible power systems, automatic transfer systems, and redundant power architectures for mission-critical facilities.
- Develop initial electrical system concepts and establish design standards, specifications, and criteria for data center projects.
- Perform calculations, equipment selection, equipment specification, system design, and system layout for high-density computing environments.
- Produce high-quality technical deliverables including drawings, specifications, and reports consistent with Jump requirements and industry standards.

Engineer of Record & QA/QC
- Perform Engineer of Record duties and assume responsible charge for electrical discipline deliverables.
- Serve as engineer of record for electrical power striping from RPPs/busways to device cabinets, ensuring correct phase balancing, circuit allocation, and redundancy across high-density HPC environments.
- Participate in QA/QC processes and technical reviews of work produced by team members and external partners.
- Conduct due diligence reports, gap analyses, and feasibility studies for new data center sites and expansions.

Project & Team Leadership
- Lead multi-discipline project teams and coordinate with mechanical, structural, and technology teams to ensure integrated system design.
- Establish and manage project budgets, schedules, and resource allocation for assigned projects.
- Mentor and train junior engineers while providing technical leadership and guidance.

Construction & Field Operations
- Perform field investigations, construction administration, and commissioning oversight.
- Process and review RFIs, change orders, bulletins, and addenda during construction phases.
- Evaluate existing site conditions and provide detailed assessment reports.

Vendor & Stakeholder Management
- Interface with colocation providers, contractors, equipment vendors, and manufacturers throughout the project lifecycle.
- Support business development activities and maintain relationships with key stakeholders.

AI-Driven Engineering
- Use AI tools daily to accelerate design work, perform calculations, analyze power data, draft documentation, and improve engineering workflows.
- Identify opportunities to apply AI across electrical design and operational processes.

Codes, Standards & Continuing Education
- Maintain current knowledge of electrical codes, industry standards, and emerging technologies relevant to data center design.
- Stay current with LEED principles and their application to data center environments.

Additional duties as assigned or needed.

Skills You'll Need:

- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Architectural Engineering with electrical building systems emphasis from an accredited university.
- Professional Engineer (PE) license required.
- EIT credential required if PE not yet obtained.
- Minimum 7+ years experience designing electrical systems for mission-critical facilities, data centers, or high-performance computing environments, preferably in a consulting or end-user engineering capacity.
- Proven track record as lead project engineer capable of directing technical teams and managing complex projects.
- Experience interacting with clients, contractors, architects, and cross-functional project teams.
- Demonstrates a high level of energy, results driven, and able to work under pressure with tight deadlines.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to interface with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong project management skills including proposal writing, budget management, and stakeholder relations.
- Attention to detail, highly organized, self-starter with ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Technical Skills:

- Expert knowledge of electrical systems including medium/low voltage distribution, emergency power systems, UPS systems, and grounding.
- Experience with data center-specific requirements including redundancy levels (N, N+1, 2N), concurrent maintainability, fault tolerance, and high-density power distribution.
- Proficiency with Revit and AutoCAD MEP for electrical design and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
- Ability to read and review floor plans, sections, elevations, and visualize systems in 3D space.
- Strong working knowledge of electrical codes and standards (NEC, NFPA, IEEE).
- Understanding of LEED principles and their application to data center environments.
- Programming/scripting experience (Python preferred) is a plus.
- Demonstrated heavy use of AI tools (e.g., LLM-based assistants, AI-driven analytics) in a professional setting. You should already be using AI daily and be eager to push its application further.
- Extremely high personal standards for work quality.
- Reliable and predictable availability, including the ability to work evenings and weekends as required.
