Director, Electrical Engineering, AMERS

Nscale is the vertically integrated AI cloud engineered for AI. We own and operate the full stack — energy, data centres, GPU superclusters, orchestration, and AI services — delivering high-performance infrastructure to AI-native companies, enterprises, and governments across Europe and the US. We are deploying GPU capacity at hyperscale, operating some of the densest, most advanced AI infrastructure in the world.

At Nscale, our Design & Construction team delivers the data center facilities that make AI at scale possible, purpose-built for the power density, availability, and speed our customers demand. We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you'll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work. If you join our team, you'll be contributing to building the technology that powers the future.

The Director, Electrical Engineering – North America is a senior, hands‑on leadership role that owns the electrical basis of design and engineering governance across Nscale's U.S. data center portfolio. You'll define MV/LV distribution architectures, electrical equipment strategy, and controls and monitoring interfaces for facilities purpose-built for high‑density AI deployments.

You'll set the electrical standards that let us scale rapidly while delivering high availability, high power density, and flexibility for future hardware generations. You'll also lead electrical technical due diligence on greenfield, brownfield, and colocation opportunities, assessing electrical architecture and power delivery constraints before we commit. This role suits someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑intensity environment and wants to build both the standards and the team that deliver our North American footprint.
