About Anthropic

Anthropic's mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole.

About the Role

Training and serving frontier AI models requires compute infrastructure at a scale and density that pushes past what conventional data center designs were built to handle. Anthropic's Data Center team is responsible for delivering that physical infrastructure , partnering with build partners, equipment manufacturers, and utilities to stand up facilities that can reliably power some of the largest accelerator clusters in the industry.

As a Data Center Electrical Engineer, you'll own the electrical design of our facilities from the building service entrance through to the rack. You'll develop and maintain the reference designs and specifications our build partners work against, review their engineering submittals, and run the analysis needed to make confident decisions on topology, redundancy, and equipment selection. You'll ensure the electrical architecture keeps pace with rapidly increasing rack densities and the unique load characteristics of large-scale ML training.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain Anthropic's electrical basis of design, reference architectures, and technical specifications for critical power distribution , covering switchgear, UPS systems, PDUs, busway, and rack power delivery

• Review and approve electrical design packages from build partners and MEP consultants, ensuring designs meet capacity, reliability, and maintainability requirements

• Perform and validate engineering studies including short-circuit, coordination, arc flash, load flow, and power quality analysis; use findings to steer design decisions and equipment selection

• Partner with external engineering and manufacturing teams to evaluate DC construction efficiency opportunities, develop productization roadmap and modular product strategy to enable accelerated DC acceleration and onsite labor reduction.

• Evaluate and qualify electrical equipment vendors and product lines; work with supply chain to build a diversified vendor base that mitigates lead-time and single-source risk

• Drive standardization of electrical designs across sites to accelerate deployment timelines while preserving flexibility for site-specific constraints and evolving hardware generations

• Influence industry specifications and engage with equipment manufacturers on roadmap requirements for high-density, ML-optimized electrical infrastructure

• Provide technical oversight during construction and commissioning phases, resolving field engineering issues and reviewing test results against design intent

You May Be a Good Fit If You

• Have 8+ years of electrical engineering experience in mission-critical facilities, with substantial time spent on data center or other high-availability electrical distribution design

• Hold a degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field; PE licensure is valued but not required

• Have hands-on experience producing and reviewing electrical construction documents, single-line diagrams, and equipment specifications, as well as development of prefabricated products and modularization towards offsite manufacturing

• Are fluent in power systems analysis and comfortable running or critically reviewing studies in tools such as SKM, ETAP, or EasyPower

• Understand critical power topologies (2N, N+1, distributed redundant, block redundant) and can articulate the trade-offs between them for different reliability and cost targets

• Have worked directly with electrical equipment manufacturers and can evaluate products on technical merit, not just datasheet claims

• Communicate clearly with both technical peers and non-specialist stakeholders, and can defend a design position when challenged

• Are results-oriented, with a bias toward practical solutions and a willingness to pick up work outside your core remit when the team needs it

Strong Candidates May Also Have

• Experience building modular prefabricated products in electrical or mechanical areas of the datacenter

• Background in medium-voltage distribution, on-site generation, or energy storage integration

• Exposure to liquid-cooled infrastructure and its implications for electrical room layout and load distribution

• Familiarity with NFPA 70/70E, IEEE color book series, and relevant international electrical codes for multi-region deployments

• Prior work at a hyperscaler, colocation provider, or MEP consultancy serving large data center clients

• Experience driving reference designs or standards adopted across multiple sites or by external partners

Logistics

• Minimum education: Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience

• Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience

• Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position

• Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

• Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We Encourage You to Apply Even If You Do Not Believe You Meet Every Single Qualification. Not All Strong Candidates Will Meet Every Single Qualification As Listed.
