HPC Data Center Electrical Engineer

Job title: HPC Data Center Electrical Engineer

About the Role Jump Trading is seeking an experienced Electrical Engineer to lead the electrical engineering design and oversight of our mission-critical HPC data center infrastructure. You will own power system design from medium voltage distribution through high-density rack-level delivery, across new builds, expansions, and ongoing operations, and collaborate with mechanical, structural, and technology teams to ensure integrated, resilient systems.

What You'll Do

• 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 and review power system plans including generator plants, medium voltage distribution, uninterruptible power systems, automatic transfer systems, and redundant 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, specification, layout, and system design for high-density computing environments.
• Produce high-quality technical deliverables including drawings, specifications, and reports in line with Jump requirements and industry standards.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Interface with colocation providers, contractors, equipment vendors, and manufacturers throughout the project lifecycle.
• Support business development activities and maintain relationships with key stakeholders.
• 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.
• 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.

What We're Looking For

• 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.

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI-driven engineering workflows or data center power analytics.
• Familiarity with colocation providers and data center commissioning processes.
