DSX Electrical Engineer

NVIDIA•Santa Clara, CA

About The Position

NVIDIA is hiring a DSX Electrical Engineer in Santa Clara, California, to advance large-scale AI infrastructure. The role works closely with engineers, owners, operators, contractors, and technology partners to develop reference builds, provide technical mentorship, and validate programs for dependable, high-density data center power systems. The work aims to improve site planning, construction, and deployment, enabling clearer builds, faster technical decisions, and fewer issues. The engineer builds feedback loops with partners and translates recurring deployment challenges into product requirements. The role creates practical technical resources, leads workshops and architecture reviews, and supports early-access and field-validation programs by testing reference builds and operating assumptions against real sites, high-density AI compute racks, and dynamic GPU power behavior. The position also coordinates across NVIDIA teams and represents the DSX Electrical field at customer and industry events.

Requirements

Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, with a Professional Engineer license or equivalent experience.
12 or more years of experience in data center electrical build, construction, commissioning, systems engineering, solutions architecture, technical product management, or a related customer-facing engineering role.
Deep knowledge of the electrical power path from utility service through high-, medium-, and low-voltage distribution to mechanical loads and IT racks.
Hands-on experience with generators, microgrids, BESS, UPS systems, RPPs, busway, rack power supplies or power shelves, and electrical interfaces for chillers, cooling towers, CRAC units, and CRAH units.
Experience crafting or evaluating electrical systems for high rack power densities, including load behavior, redundancy, protection, maintainability, and operational change.
Expertise in short-circuit, selective-coordination, and arc-flash studies, plus a strong understanding of electrical control sequences and Sequence of Operations.
Working knowledge of mechanical, controls, life-safety, and IT networking systems that collaborate with data center electrical infrastructure.
Ability to turn complex engineering topics into clear written mentorship, technical presentations, training, and productive development discussions for varied technical audiences.

Nice To Haves

Experience applying electrical reference architectures to large-scale GPU clusters, AI factories, or accelerated-computing deployments.
Knowledge of dynamic power behavior and mitigation strategies for large GPU deployments.
Hands-on expertise with battery energy storage systems, on-site generation, microgrids, microgrid controllers, or utility interconnection requirements.
Familiarity with 800 VDC power distribution, international electrical systems, and adaptation of global standards to regional codes and construction practices.
A record of creating technical communities, industry mentorship, reference builds, training programs, or standards actively used by engineering teams.
Demonstrated ability to convey complex technical topics to engineers and strategic direction to executives.

Responsibilities

Build feedback loops with electrical engineering teams at NVIDIA Cloud Partners, data center providers, EPC firms, facility infrastructure OEMs, system integrators, and AI infrastructure operators.
Translate recurring build and deployment friction into clear requirements for DSX product management and engineering roadmaps.
Collaborate with NVIDIA and partners to create and publish technical assets for DSX electrical deployments, including reference power architectures, design guides, deployment playbooks, equipment-selection mentorship, validated examples, and troubleshooting content.
Lead technical workshops, architecture reviews, and build deep dives to help partners apply DSX electrical reference builds to new and existing AI factory sites.
Support early-access and field-validation programs by testing DSX electrical reference builds and operating assumptions against real sites, high-density AI compute racks, and dynamic GPU power behavior.
Coordinate across DSX engineering, product management, solution architecture, deployment, and developer marketing to align technical content with product capabilities and deployment needs.
Represent the DSX Electrical field at customer forums, technical conferences, industry working sessions, and partner events, and bring subject-area insights back to product teams.
