A bit about us:
We exist to make better buildings faster. We are part of a larger framework - Design Manufacture Construct (DMC) - that guide building design so that construction can leverage manufacturing productivity. We’re made up of smart architects, engineers, manufacturers, programmers, and other generalists that are united by the notion that to make great things intelligently is a worthy pursuit. We are seeking a talented and energetic Architects to join our design group. Job description: As a Program Architect, you will work with project teams in a dynamic, rapid-growth work environment with bright and talented engineers, architects, designers, builders, crafters, and manufacturers to improve and deploy a prototype building program and to build an alternative to the traditional construction industry. From desk to factory floor to job sites and client meetings, you will be challenged to develop your skills in a new field, taking a critical role in project delivery via the DMC methodology
Why join us?
We offer the full spectrum of comprehensive benefits including: health, dental, and vision insurance. We also offer flexible spending accounts, paid time off, short term disability, long term disability, life insurance and a 401k plan.
Job Details
Overview
We are developing a repeatable building platform designed for deployment within hyperscale data center environments. This product line is expected to generate over $100M in annual revenue and scale significantly over the coming years. Electrical system performance, reliability, and cost discipline will be critical to the success of this initiative.
This role is responsible for leading the development and execution of the electrical systems that support this product platform. Rather than supporting a single project, this position focuses on building a repeatable electrical system architecture that can be manufactured, deployed, and improved across multiple projects.
The role operates within an integrated design, manufacturing, and construction operating model where system decisions are made collaboratively across product, engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and construction teams.
Position Summary
The Manager / Head of Electrical Systems will be accountable for the electrical scope of a hyperscale product line, ensuring strong system performance, predictable deployment outcomes, and cost efficiency.
This is a leadership role focused on building and scaling an electrical system framework. The position will oversee electrical architecture, manufacturing integration, field execution alignment, and continuous system improvement as the product evolves.
The role requires a builder—someone capable of developing systems, teams, and processes that improve performance and scalability with each deployment.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical System Leadership
Own the electrical system architecture and deployment strategy for a hyperscale infrastructure product line
Influence electrical distribution strategy, panelization approaches, grounding systems, lighting integration, and mission-critical interfaces
Ensure electrical systems are designed for manufacturability, repeatability, cost efficiency, and field reliability
Translate operational feedback from deployments into continuous product improvements
Product & Manufacturing Integration
Move system complexity out of field construction and into controlled design and manufacturing environments
Partner with manufacturing engineering and supply chain teams to standardize components and optimize sourcing strategies
Support takt-based manufacturing processes by ensuring electrical scope integrates seamlessly into production workflows
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with product leadership, engineering teams, manufacturing, construction, and program management
Align electrical system design with broader product and platform governance
Support architectural decisions and system improvements across multiple product deployments
Team Leadership
Build and lead a dedicated electrical team including:
Electrical Project Manager
Electrical Designer
Electrical Manufacturing SME
Electrical Construction Lead
Develop a high-performing team capable of scaling alongside the product line
Provide technical leadership and mentorship across electrical disciplines
Deployment & Continuous Improvement
Provide hands-on leadership during early product deployments
Ensure alignment between product design intent and field execution
Implement feedback loops that improve reliability, reduce variability, and increase margins over time
Qualifications
Required Experience
12+ years of experience working with commercial, industrial, or mission-critical electrical systems
Demonstrated ownership of electrical systems from design through deployment
Experience managing electrical cost performance, budgets, or margin accountability
Leadership experience across design, manufacturing integration, and construction execution
Strong knowledge of electrical codes and standards including NEC, NFPA, grounding and bonding requirements
Experience with power distribution systems including switchgear, generators, UPS systems, and utility coordination
Ability to interpret electrical design documents, specifications, and one-line diagrams
Experience integrating commissioning considerations into design and construction processes
Preferred Experience
Data center or other mission-critical infrastructure experience
Experience with prefabrication, modular construction, or repeatable product environments
Professional Engineering (PE) license or Master Electrician credentials
Location
Birmingham, Alabama
