About Volta
Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up.

About The Role
The Global Electrical Design Manager owns electrical design across the Volta fleet. Working within the design and engineering function, you will hold the electrical reference designs, govern how they are applied on every project, and assure the electrical design decisions the fleet depends on.
From utility intake and medium-voltage distribution through to the rack, you will keep Volta's electrical designs standard, buildable and ready for the power densities that NVIDIA Vera deployments demand – so no project ever has to solve the same problem twice.
What You Will Be Doing
- Own the electrical reference designs used across all Volta projects
- Govern application of standard designs on each project and manage deviations with discipline
- Assure project electrical design from utility intake and MV distribution through to the rack
- Review consultant and contractor electrical deliverables against fleet standards
- Support power architecture decisions for high-density NVIDIA Vera deployments
- Work with procurement on specifications for long-lead electrical equipment
- Feed commissioning and operational lessons back into the reference designs
- Coach project design leads on electrical standards and practice
