lambda - Senior Electrical Delivery Engineer
Requirements
• Experience commissioning hyperscale, colocation, HPC, or AI data centers. • Experience supporting first energization and initial IT-load or GPU-cluster bring-up. • Familiarity with Level 1–5 commissioning, integrated systems testing, and operational-readiness processes. • Experience with protective-relay testing, breaker testing, insulation-resistance testing, power-quality analysis, or infrared inspections. • Experience using tools such as ETAP, SKM, EasyPower, Procore, Bluebeam, or commissioning-management platforms. • Experience investigating electrical failures and leading root-cause analysis. • Professional Engineer licensure, commissioning certification, or NETA-related experience.
Responsibilities
• Perform site walkdowns to verify installed electrical systems against approved designs, single-line diagrams, specifications, submittals, and Lambda standards. • Validate equipment ratings, protection settings, phasing, grounding and bonding, terminations, labeling, redundancy, and electrical failure domains. • Identify installation deficiencies, design conflicts, and operational risks; document punch-list items and drive them through closure. • Review construction test results and witness factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, functional testing, and integrated systems testing. • Develop and review energization plans, MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, switching procedures, and electrical safety controls. • Support initial energization and troubleshoot issues involving substations, transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, busway, PDUs, RPPs, and rack-level distribution. • Coordinate with design engineers, engineering partners, utilities, general contractors, electrical trades, equipment manufacturers, commissioning agents, operations, and HPC deployment teams. • Confirm that electrical capacity, voltage, redundancy, monitoring, and protection are ready before IT equipment is energized. • Validate as-built documentation, equipment settings, test reports, commissioning records, and turnover packages before operational handoff. • Capture field lessons and incorporate them into Lambda’s design standards, commissioning requirements, and site-validation playbooks. • Mentor other engineers and provide senior technical leadership during high-risk energization and bring-up activities. • Have significant experience delivering, commissioning, or operating electrical systems in data centers, mission-critical facilities, utilities, or large industrial environments. • Understand both medium- and low-voltage distribution, including transformers, switchgear, protective relays, generators, UPS systems, busway, grounding, and rack-level power. • Can interpret single-line diagrams, equipment submittals, protection studies, relay settings, test reports, and construction documentation. • Have hands-on experience with site inspections, electrical testing, energization, commissioning, or operational turnover. • Understand electrical safety, lockout/tagout, energized work controls, and applicable NEC, NFPA 70E, IEEE, and NETA requirements. • Can distinguish between cosmetic deficiencies and conditions that create material safety, reliability, or operational risk. • Are comfortable making decisions in the field, escalating critical issues, and coordinating corrective work under schedule pressure. • Communicate clearly with construction teams, engineers, vendors, operators, and senior stakeholders. • Are willing to travel extensively and spend extended periods at active construction and commissioning sites. • Hold a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent practical experience.
