About Nebius:

Nebius is pioneering a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy. We craft a comprehensive AI cloud platform to empower developers and enterprises through data and model training to production deployment, without the costs and complexities of large in-house AI/ML infrastructure.

Engineered by experts, for experts. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we tackle the tough issues in compute, storage, networking, and applied AI.

Listed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, our global reach spans R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America, and Israel. Our team of over 1,500 includes numerous engineers with deep knowledge in hardware, software, and AI research and development.

The Infrastructure Acquisition Group The Infrastructure Acquisition Group acquires the necessary land, power, and data center space to fuel the Nebius AI Cloud. We pinpoint where Nebius should expand, craft the commercial agreements that enable this growth, and collaborate with engineering, energy, finance, legal, and development teams to launch new AI infrastructure.

We're a small, pioneering team building this function from the ground up in the Americas, leading the acquisition of colocation, build-to-suit, powered land, and other strategic infrastructure opportunities as one of the world's fastest-growing AI cloud platforms scales. Examples of Challenges We Tackle Validate electrical feasibility before final commitment. A site or agreement is only as robust as its ability to support the power capacity and distribution infrastructure required to run it. You'll lead electrical due diligence, utility interconnection analysis, and equipment feasibility review to inform Go / No-Go decisions before deals conclude. Stay ahead of electrical design as projects progress. Coordinate with Site Selection, Development, Engineering, and Delivery to ensure power distribution topology, redundancy strategy, and equipment assumptions are validated early enough to protect schedule and budget once construction starts. Establish a repeatable technical evaluation framework. Help set the standards, design criteria, and technical readiness checkpoints that will support electrical engineering review across every AI infrastructure acquisition in the Americas. About the Role As an Electrical Engineer, you'll offer the technical electrical engineering perspective across the acquisition and development life cycle—from initial site and deal evaluation through construction readiness. Working within the Infrastructure Acquisition Group, you'll partner with Site Selection, Technical Due Diligence, Development, Energy, Finance, and Delivery to ensure every project's power distribution, utility interconnection, and equipment assumptions are sound before they proceed. This is a build-phase role on a build-phase team. Many of the technical evaluation standards, design criteria, and readiness checkpoints you'll employ are still being established—sometimes, you'll help establish them. We're seeking someone who can independently assess complex electrical infrastructure while helping build the systems that make every future evaluation faster, more predictable, and more scalable. What You'll Manage

* Lead electrical engineering assessments of potential sites, colocation capacity, and build-to-suit opportunities.

* Own technical assumptions for power distribution topology, capacity, and equipment strategy feeding the pre-construction risk register.

* Evaluate utility interconnection, on-site generation, and redundancy strategies (N, N+1, 2N) against site conditions and load requirements.

* Provide Go / No-Go input on electrical feasibility as projects advance through key development milestones.

* Present technically validated electrical scope to the Delivery organization with complete documentation and minimized risk.

Technical Due Diligence & Feasibility

* Lead electrical due diligence on potential sites, existing facilities, and colocation capacity under review.

* Analyze utility capacity, interconnection queue position, substation requirements, and on-site generation/UPS strategy against projected IT load.

* Assess electrical equipment availability, lead times (transformers, switchgear, generators), and vendor constraints that could impact schedule or capex.

* Ensure electrical assumptions are fully integrated into project budgets, capacity models, and schedules.

Design & Equipment Strategy

* Collaborate with Engineering to define power distribution topology and redundancy strategy appropriate to each site and deal structure.

* Evaluate EPMS/BMS controls integration and electrical system commissioning requirements early in the acquisition process.

* Offer technical input on switchgear, UPS, and generator selection, redundancy strategy, and capex trade-offs across candidate sites.

* Ensure electrical design intent is preserved as deals move from negotiation into development.

Construction Readiness

* Set electrical technical readiness criteria as part of project handoff standards.

* Verify electrical design assumptions, equipment specifications, and capacity commitments are complete before transition to Delivery.

* Identify and resolve electrical technical risks before they impact construction.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

* Serve as the primary electrical engineering technical liaison across Site Selection, Technical Due Diligence, Development, Energy, and Delivery.

* Coordinate with consulting engineers, utility providers, equipment vendors, and commissioning agents to validate executable electrical strategies.

* Align internal stakeholders and external consultants to prevent technical scope drift as projects move from acquisition into development.

What Success Looks Like

* Ensure every acquisition is grounded in sound electrical engineering judgment before final commitment.

* Deliver predictable, technically validated power distribution and redundancy strategies across the portfolio.

* Identify and mitigate electrical technical risks before they impact construction.

* Establish trusted relationships with utility providers, equipment vendors, consulting engineers, and commissioning partners.

* Assist in building the technical standards and evaluation processes the Infrastructure Acquisition Group relies on as it scales.

What You'll Offer

* You're comfortable working in ambiguity and building technical evaluation procedures where they do not yet exist. You know how to independently assess complex electrical infrastructure while helping define how future projects should be evaluated.

* 8+ years of experience in data center electrical engineering, power systems design, or mission-critical electrical systems.

* Knowledge of medium-voltage distribution, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, and utility interconnection for high-density AI/hyperscale environments.

* Proficient in electrical capacity planning, redundancy topology (N, N+1, 2N), equipment selection, and capex trade-offs in data center design.

* Experience evaluating electrical feasibility of sites or facilities before final commitment.

* Strong communication and executive presentation skills.

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Preferred Qualifications

* Experience supporting hyperscale data center or AI infrastructure development.

* Experience with EPMS/BMS controls integration and electrical systems commissioning.

* Experience with utility interconnection agreements and interconnection queue strategy.

* Professional Engineer (PE) license or similar professional certification.

* Experience evaluating colocation or build-to-suit electrical infrastructure in a due diligence capacity.
