Electrical Designer/Drafter
About The Position
Armada is seeking an Electrical Designer/Drafter to join their power and integration team, reporting directly to the Senior Electrical Design Engineer. This role involves transforming engineering direction, redlines, and sketches into precise, buildable drawings ready for submittal. The drawings produced will be used by manufacturing partners, reviewed by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), and utilized by field commissioning crews. This is a remote position. Armada specializes in building and deploying ruggedized, modular, containerized data centers designed for high-density AI compute in locations where traditional data centers are not feasible. The company is experiencing significant growth, scaling production across international markets with deployments ranging from multi-megawatt GPU clusters to large-scale multi-unit campuses.
Requirements
- Associate's degree, technical certificate, or equivalent hands-on experience in electrical drafting, CAD design, or electrical technology.
- 4+ years of electrical drafting experience, with a focus on power distribution drawings (not solely lighting/low-voltage).
- Strong proficiency in AutoCAD Electrical, Revit MEP, or both, including comfort with external references, sheet sets, and large coordinated drawing packages.
- Proficiency with Bluebeam Revu for markup, stamping, and submittal review workflows.
- Working familiarity with the NEC (NFPA 70) and the ability to interpret manufacturer submittals (UPS, switchgear, transformers, PDUs, batteries, generators).
- Ability to read mechanical and structural drawings to identify potential conflicts (routing, clearances, penetrations) before drawings are released.
- High attention to detail, ensuring clean sheets, correct revisions, consistent symbols, and no orphaned linework.
- Clear written communication skills for responding to RFIs and documenting revisions.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with drawing packages for containerized or modular/prefabricated data centers, power skids, or e-houses.
- Exposure to international electrical standards beyond the NEC (IEC-based national codes) and the ability to produce compliant drawing sets.
- Experience with 480 V, medium-voltage, and other international low-voltage distribution systems.
- Familiarity with Revit families/parameters for MEP content creation.
- Experience producing documentation for AHJ review and large-scale energy storage permitting.
- Familiarity with PDM/document control systems and a disciplined approach to revision management.
- Experience preparing as-built and O&M drawing sets.
Responsibilities
- Produce and maintain electrical drawing packages for modular containerized data centers, including single-line diagrams, panel schedules, equipment layouts, grounding plans, raceway and cable tray routing, conduit schedules, nameplate/label schedules, and details.
- Create issue-ready drawings on Armada title blocks and according to drawing standards, based on engineer-provided redlines, sketches, and load calculations.
- Maintain drawing standards, including layer conventions, block libraries, symbol libraries, title blocks, and revision control across various product variants.
- Coordinate with mechanical, structural, controls, and fire protection drafters/designers to resolve interdisciplinary conflicts related to routing, clearances, and penetrations before drawing release.
- Assemble and manage submittal packages, including vendor cut sheets, redline markups, and response documents.
- Incorporate redlines from internal and external reviewers, manage revision clouds, and maintain a clean revision history.
- Produce as-built drawings based on field markups after commissioning.
- Support the engineering team with takeoffs, such as cable lengths, conduit quantities, breaker counts, and bill-of-material extracts from drawings.
Benefits
- Competitive base salary and equity
- Medical, dental, and vision (subsidized cost)
- Health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and dependent care FSAs (DCFSA)
- Retirement plan options, including 401(k) and Roth 401(k)
- Unlimited paid time off (PTO)
- 14 paid company holidays per year
