The opportunity
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 Infrastructure team is responsible for delivering that physical infrastructure —…
What you'll do
Lead the electrical design of critical data center infrastructure across the: US portfolio, including the utility interface and substation, site medium- and high-voltage distribution, generators, UPS, switchgear, transformers, busway, and grounding
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 — producing designs that meet our reliability and maintainability requirements while staying within budgetary targets
Perform and validate engineering studies: including short-circuit, protection coordination, arc flash, load flow, and power quality analysis — and use the findings to steer topology, redundancy, equipment-selection, and protection-setting decisions
Design and plan data center hall power distribution layouts for newly: allocated spaces in coordination with the telecom, mechanical and cooling design
Drive Anthropic's prefabricated and modular electrical strategy: developing modular skids, e-houses, and prefabricated power assemblies, and partnering with external engineering and manufacturing teams on a productization roadmap that accelerates deployment and reduces onsite labor
Design for offsite manufacture and onsite assembly: define the interfaces between prefabricated components and site-built work, and the electrical interfaces and switchover points for temporary-to-permanent power sequencing
What they're looking for
- Drive standardization of modular electrical designs across sites to compress: deployment timelines while preserving flexibility for site-specific constraints and evolving hardware generations
- Work with regional vendors and manufacturers to specify and qualify major: electrical equipment, and partner with supply chain to build a diversified vendor base that mitigates lead-time and single-source risk
- Work with utilities and interconnection/transmission operators (e.g.,: ISOs/RTOs) to define site utility service and interconnection requirements, and with local authorities having jurisdiction to ensure designs comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70/NEC), NFPA, IEEE, UL/ANSI, and local requirements
- Work with Anthropic's hardware and compute teams to translate accelerator: power, density, and power-quality requirements into electrical design criteria, and keep the reference architecture aligned with upcoming hardware generations
