Description**Location: This role can be located in Anoka, MN / St. Louis, MO / Tucson, AZ or Raleigh, NC**
This role will serve as the technical visionary shaping the next generation of power distribution architectures for hyperscale and AI-driven datacenters. This role will not only ensure technical excellence but also drive innovation in how power is delivered, managed, and scaled. From exploring HVDC adoption to developing connectorized rack power safety solutions, you will pioneer architectures that redefine what’s possible in datacenter energy efficiency and resiliency.
By anticipating the evolving needs of compute platforms and designing innovative solutions, you will play a pivotal role in strengthening nVent’s leadership in intelligent power for AI datacenters—empowering customers to achieve peak performance and sustainability.
WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IN THIS POSITION:
• Define and architect innovative rack-level power distribution topologies (AC, DC, HVDC).
• Investigate new technologies in solid-state protection, intelligent power switching, and metering, and AI-enabled load balancing.
• Evaluate and integrate breakthrough approaches such as sidecar power shelves, in-rack busbars, and modular busway systems.
• Translate innovative ideas into manufacturable, standards-compliant solutions.
• Guide engineering teams in rapid prototyping and proof-of-concepts to validate new concepts.
• Anticipate industry shifts (AI-scale, 1MW+ racks, OCP-HPR standards) and propose next-gen architectures.
• Partner with market-leading technology vendors (compute, rack, power components) where appropriate to accelerate development and ensure interoperability.
• Represent nVent as a leader with a point of view in customer innovation forums and industry standards bodies.
YOU HAVE:
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field required.
• Ideally 10+ years in datacenter, power electronics, or telecom power systems.
• Experience in architecting innovative electrical systems and bringing new concepts to market.
• Strong collaborator with cross-functional teams.
