About the role
As a DSX Electrical Engineer at NVIDIA in Santa Clara, CA, you will develop reference builds, provide technical mentorship, and validate programs for dependable, high-density data center power systems. You will work across engineering, partners, and operators to improve site planning, construction, and deployment for AI infrastructure.
What you'll do
- Build feedback loops with electrical engineering teams at NVIDIA Cloud Partners, data center providers, EPC firms, facility infrastructure OEMs, system integrators, and AI infrastructure operators.
- Translate recurring build and deployment friction into clear requirements for DSX product management and engineering roadmaps.
- Build and publish technical assets for DSX electrical deployments, including reference power architectures, design guides, deployment playbooks, equipment selection mentorship, validated examples, and troubleshooting content.
- Lead technical workshops, architecture reviews, and build deep dives to help partners apply DSX electrical reference builds to AI factory sites.
- Support early-access and field-validation programs for DSX electrical solutions, evaluating reference builds against real sites, high-density AI Compute racks, and dynamic GPU power behavior.
- Represent the DSX Electrical field at customer forums, technical conferences, industry working sessions, and partner events.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, with a Professional Engineer license or equivalent experience.
- 12 or more years of experience in data center electrical build, construction, commissioning, systems engineering, solutions architecture, technical product management, or a related customer-facing engineering role.
- Deep knowledge of the electrical power path from utility service through high-, medium-, and low-voltage distribution to mechanical loads and IT racks.
- Hands-on experience with generators, microgrids, BESS, UPS systems, RPPs, busway, rack power supplies or power shelves, and electrical interfaces for chillers, cooling towers, CRAC units, and CRAH units.
- Experience crafting or evaluating electrical systems for high rack power densities, including load behavior, redundancy, protection, maintainability, and operational change.
- Expertise in short-circuit, selective-coordination, and arc-flash studies, plus a strong understanding of electrical control sequences and Sequence of Operations.
- Working knowledge of mechanical, controls, life-safety, and IT networking systems that collaborate with data center electrical infrastructure.
