Company

hirify.global develops hardware, software, racks, and manufacturing infrastructure for high-throughput, low-latency AI inference.

What you will do

• Translate product and stakeholder requirements into electrical load forecasts, capacity plans, design criteria, and distribution concepts for benches, labs, rack testing, and data centers.
• Assess prospective sites, identify infrastructure constraints, and develop single-line diagrams, load calculations, equipment requirements, and preliminary layouts.
• Review consultant designs, equipment submittals, field installations, and power-system studies covering short circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, and power quality.
• Own electrical projects from scope definition and equipment selection through procurement, construction coordination, commissioning, and operational handoff.
• Define commissioning plans, coordinate energization and load testing, troubleshoot failures, lead root-cause investigations, and close performance deficiencies.
• Build electrical standards, design tools, maintenance strategies, operating procedures, and handoff documentation while mentoring teammates and coordinating across disciplines.

Requirements

• Strong applied knowledge of power distribution, three-phase loads, grounding and bonding, protection, power quality, and electrical failure modes.
• Typically 5+ years of relevant experience with demonstrated ownership across design, construction, commissioning, troubleshooting, or operations.
• Ability to develop or critically review electrical designs, interpret drawings and specifications, quantify system constraints, and reconcile documentation with field conditions.
• Practical knowledge of applicable electrical and building codes and safe electrical work practices, including judgment about when to involve licensed engineers or qualified specialists.
• Relevant preparation through an electrical engineering degree, apprenticeship, trade progression, military technical training, field service, commissioning, or equivalent practical experience; a degree is not required.
• Comfort with ambiguity, changing priorities, multiple projects, field work, and occasional planned shutdowns or commissioning outside normal business hours.

Nice to have

• Experience with mission-critical or high-power facilities, medium-voltage systems, redundancy strategies, utility coordination, brownfield upgrades, or live-site cutovers.
• Experience with protective relays, equipment startup, load-bank testing, integrated systems commissioning, or relevant trade, testing, commissioning, or professional engineering credentials.
• Experience with power-system analysis, CAD/BIM, automation, EPMS, BAS, Tridium/Niagara, or ALC.
• Experience implementing electrical safety programs, NFPA 70E training, reliability improvements, capacity planning, or technical vendor and project leadership.
