Job Overview:
Help build the next generation of mission-critical power in this true ground-floor opportunity. The Electrical Design Engineer, Power Generation Containerization will help design, integrate, and launch a new line of large-scale, containerized power generation solutions supporting mission-critical data centers. Ingersoll Rand is building a new data center power generation vertical, and this engineer will help shape the electrical architecture, system integration, and manufacturing strategy behind it. The role will translate existing product knowledge from Ingersoll Rand's acquired Australian business and North American partners into in-house designs that can be manufactured efficiently and at scale in Sidney, Ohio.
The Electrical Design Engineer will own key aspects of the electrical design and integration of large generator systems, including generator enclosures, power connections, controls access, electrical equipment layout, and overall packaged-system integration. These are not small commercial generators, but large-scale diesel generator systems designed to provide critical backup power for data center environments where reliability, uptime, and continuity are essential. As an early member of this growing technical team, the engineer will have meaningful hands-on ownership from design and integration through validation, manufacturing readiness, and commercialization. The role will partner closely with the Mechanical Engineer, applications engineering, manufacturing, sourcing, suppliers, project management, and the Sidney plant to ensure the complete packaged solution meets both customer requirements and manufacturing needs.
The ideal candidate brings electrical design experience in power generation, large generator systems, data center electrical infrastructure, mission-critical backup power, industrial equipment, or modular/containerized power systems. Experience with generator packaging or containerization, 2MW+ systems, diesel generator sets, and environments where code compliance, serviceability, and reliability are critical is especially valuable. For an engineer who wants to do more than support an established product line, this is an opportunity to help build one from the ground up-with significant technical ownership, strong company investment, and meaningful growth potential.
