About the Team OpenAI is building the infrastructure foundation for the next generation of AI. The Data Center Engineering team defines the strategy, reference architectures, technical requirements, and delivery standards for the large-scale data centers that support OpenAI research, products, and infrastructure partners. As a Data Center Infrastructure Electrical Engineer, you will help define, validate, and scale the electrical power systems that support high-density AI compute. You will translate evolving compute requirements into practical facility and rack-power architectures, evaluate new technologies and vendor solutions, and drive technical decisions across design, manufacturing validation, construction, commissioning, deployment, and operations. This role is best suited for a senior hands-on engineer with deep experience in mission-critical power systems, strong judgment under ambiguity, and the ability to connect facility infrastructure, hardware requirements, controls, telemetry, reliability, and operations. About the Role We are seeking a senior electrical infrastructure engineer to lead the development of reliable, scalable, and efficient power architectures for high-density, liquid-cooled AI data centers. The ideal candidate has strong practical experience with critical electrical systems at data centers or comparable industrial scale, including medium-voltage and low-voltage distribution, utility interfaces, backup power, UPS and battery systems, rack power delivery, grounding, protection, controls, and monitoring systems. You should be comfortable moving between long-range architecture, detailed engineering review, lab validation, vendor qualification, field deployment, and operational troubleshooting. Key Responsibilities - Design and optimize electrical topologies and equipment strategies that reduce cost, accelerate schedules, improve efficiency, increase scalability, and maintain high reliability and maintainability. - Review and develop basis-of-design documents, single-line diagrams, equipment specifications, commissioning plans, and power system studies including load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, and grid transient compliance. - Lead technical evaluation of equipment vendors, manufacturers, design consultants, commissioning agents, contractors, and test labs. Review submittals, schematics, certifications, quality records, and test reports. - Evaluate AC and DC power distribution options for
