Sr. Principal Electrical Design Engineer

Location:

USA – Austin, TX / USA – Remote

Overview Jabil has an exciting opportunity for a highly experienced and technically proficient Principal Electrical Engineer to engage in the design, fabrication, and integration of electrical systems for data center power and cooling products, as well as factory enablement projects. This role includes full-stack electrical design from generator systems to AI rack integration zones, with a focus on PDUs, UPS systems, MV/HV power distribution, phased power infrastructure, and controls architecture. The ideal candidate will bring deep technical expertise and a passion for delivering scalable, reliable, and compliant infrastructure solutions.

What will you do? Product & System Design

Knowledge of high-efficiency power conversion and point-of-load regulation for AI/ML server racks (BBU, rPDU).

Understanding of rack power zoning, load balancing, and redundancy strategies for tiered compute workloads.

Ensure electrical systems are properly integrated into fabricated enclosures and structural assemblies.

Lead the electrical design and integration of UPS systems, power conversion units, and safety interlocks.

Develop and maintain single-line and three-line diagrams for power distribution systems, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and compliance with NEC, IEEE, and UL standards.

Design and validate three-phase power systems, including load balancing, fault protection, and redundancy strategies for high-availability environments.

Engineer and integrate medium-voltage (MV) and high-voltage (HV) power distribution components such as switchgear, transformers, busways, and protective relays.

Specify and qualify electrical components including circuit breakers, contactors, CTs/PTs, surge protection devices, isolation switches for MV/HV applications and the design and development of wiring harnesses.

Factory & Facility Integration

Design end-to-end electrical distribution systems from generator and utility interface to AI rack integration zones.

Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure electrical infrastructure aligns with facility layout, safety codes, and operational requirements.

Plan and implement power redundancy, load segmentation, and scalable distribution architectures to support high-density compute environments.

Ensure proper grounding, EMI shielding, and thermal management across all facility-level electrical systems.

Fabrication & Implementation

Define fabrication processes including panel building, cable routing, and system integration, ensuring manufacturability and serviceability.

Perform electrical load calculations, short-circuit analysis, arc flash studies, and thermal modeling using tools such as ETAP, SKM PowerTools, or EasyPower.

Lead design reviews, risk assessments, and validation testing to ensure compliance with UL, IEC, NEC, CE, RoHS, and REACH standards.

Interface with suppliers and customers to resolve fabrication and quality issues, and ensure adherence to specifications.

Support prototype builds, field deployments, and customer engagements to gather feedback and refine designs.

Controls Architecture

Develop and implement electrical controls architecture for power and cooling systems, including PLCs, SCADA integration, and remote monitoring capabilities.

Define control logic, sensor integration, and communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, BACnet, SNMP) for intelligent power and cooling management.

Collaborate with software and automation teams to ensure seamless integration of control systems with facility and product-level infrastructure.

Validate control systems through simulation, testing, and commissioning to ensure reliability, safety, and responsiveness.

Leadership & Documentation

Develop and maintain engineering documentation including BOMs, test procedures, and engineering change orders (ECOs).

Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across cross-functional teams.

Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on cost reduction, design for manufacturability (DFM), and product scalability.

Education

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field is required.

Experience

8+ years of experience in electrical design and fabrication, with a focus on data center or industrial power systems is required.

Proficiency in ECAD tools (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical) and integration with mechanical CAD platforms is required.

Strong understanding of MV/HV power distribution, lithium-ion UPS systems, and three-phase electrical infrastructure is required.

Experience with electrical analysis tools (e.g., ETAP, SKM PowerTools, EasyPower) is a must.

Proven experience in facility-level electrical design and construction support and excellent leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills are required.

Knowledge, Skills, Abilities

Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

Creative, self-motivated, accountable, and team-oriented.

Able to work independently with minimal oversight as part of a global team.

Proficient in reading, analyzing, and interpreting technical and regulatory documents.

Skilled in writing reports, business correspondence, and procedural guides.

Effective at presenting information and responding to management, clients, and public queries.

Capable of influencing others and mentoring less experienced engineers.

Capable of assessing projects, articulating risks, and developing project milestones.

Familiar with stage-gate processes in project lifecycle management (PLCM).

Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

Preferred Qualifications

Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field is preferred.

Active Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred.

Experience with data center infrastructure products such as UPS systems, switchgear, CRAC units, and PDUs is a plus.

Familiarity with global compliance standards including UL, CE, RoHS, REACH, and IEEE.

Hands-on experience with panel fabrication, wiring, and system integration is a plus.

Knowledge of thermal and mechanical constraints in electrical enclosure design and experience working with global suppliers and contract manufacturers is preferred.

Experience in WindChill and DevOps is preferred.
