About the Team OpenAI, in close collaboration with our capital partners, is building the world’s most advanced AI infrastructure ecosystem. The team defines the technical direction for next-generation data centers and develops the architectures needed to support rapidly evolving AI hardware and workload requirements. Operating at the intersection of research, engineering, infrastructure, and deployment, the team translates emerging compute requirements into validated electrical designs, reference architectures, prototypes, and scalable infrastructure solutions. About the Role We are seeking an experienced Data Center Electrical R&D Engineer to develop and validate next-generation power architectures for high-density AI infrastructure. This role is focused on research, advanced design, modeling, prototyping, and technical validation rather than ongoing facility operations. You will investigate emerging electrical technologies, develop system-level architectures, and evaluate new approaches to utility integration, power distribution, backup generation, energy storage, controls, and rack-level power delivery. You will work closely with compute hardware, mechanical, controls, construction, commissioning, operations, and external technology partners. Your work will shape reusable reference designs that can move from concept and simulation through pilot testing and large-scale deployment. Key Responsibilities - Develop advanced electrical architectures for high-density AI data centers, from utility interconnection through rack-level power delivery. - Translate evolving compute-platform requirements into electrical capacity, topology, redundancy, power-quality, protection, and control requirements. - Create conceptual designs, basis-of-design documents, specifications, one-line diagrams, design standards, and reusable reference architectures. - Model electrical-system performance, capacity, efficiency, reliability, fault conditions, transient behavior, and failure scenarios. - Evaluate emerging technologies such as medium-voltage distribution, solid-state power conversion, advanced UPS systems, energy storage, alternative generation, and direct-current architectures. - Build technical and economic comparisons across competing design approaches, including reliability, efficiency, scalability, cost, constructability, maintainability, and deployment speed. - Develop prototypes, test plans, acceptance criteria, and validation frameworks for new e
