Lead Electrical Engineer

At Verda, we're building a full-stack AI cloud, covering everything from data centers and hardware to our own cloud platform that the world's leading AI teams use to do serious AI work.

We strive to make a positive mark on the world through the infrastructure we build and give leading teams a service they can truly depend on. Headquartered in Helsinki, we operate globally with offices in London and San Francisco.

Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.

• Level: Senior to Lead.

• Employment type: Full time and permanent

About the role

As Lead Electrical Engineer you own the power that keeps our sites alive. You will design the full power distribution architecture, define the redundancy topology, design grounding and bonding, run the studies that prove the system is safe, and work directly with utility providers. In an AI data center, power is the constraint, and this is the discipline that solves it.

Your responsibilities

• Design power distribution architecture, including utility service entrance, switchgear, generators, UPS, PDUs, and transformers

• Define the redundancy topology (N+1, 2N)

• Design grounding and bonding systems

• Perform load, short-circuit, and arc-flash studies

• Coordinate directly with utility providers on service and interconnection

Your key competencies

The ideal candidate has designed mission-critical electrical systems at data center scale and can own the discipline end to end.

• BS in Electrical Engineering

• 7 to 10+ years designing mission-critical / data center electrical systems

• Strong command of redundancy topologies and protection studies

• Experience coordinating with utilities on service and interconnection

Nice to have

• Large-scale or hyperscale data center electrical experience

• Familiarity with building in the Nordics, including local legislation and authorities
