Phaidra is looking to solve the problem of static, monolithic infrastructure in industrial automation by creating AI-powered control systems that enable facilities to automatically learn and improve over time.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience specifically in electrical or power systems operations, with a focus on data centers, utilities, or mission-critical infrastructure.
- Strong understanding of power quality, load balancing, redundant distribution, harmonics, fault detection, and protective relaying principles.
- Proven experience in analyzing, monitoring and maintaining of electrical distribution systems, including substations, UPS systems, batteries, switchgear, PDUs, and stand-by generator systems.
- Hands-on experience with SCADA, BMS, or energy monitoring systems, including sensor integration and data acquisition.
- Demonstrated ability to use machine learning and advanced analytics for predictive maintenance, energy optimization, and anomaly detection in electrical systems.
- Experience with time-series analysis, signal processing, and predictive modeling for power and thermal performance.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent field experience in electrical engineering, power systems engineering, energy systems, data center operations or a related technical discipline.
Responsibilities
- Develop electrical system ontology for data centers which will be used to organize customer’s system data in a way where it can be used by AI & LLMs for customer facing products and services.
- Create and utilize tools to continuously monitor system telemetry from sensors, smart meters, and facility management systems to detect early signs of equipment degradation to help prevent service disruptions.
- Develop and deploy advanced anomaly detection models using machine learning and statistical methods to identify irregularities in power usage, voltage stability, cooling performance, UPS/battery behavior and more.
- Design automated alerting frameworks that trigger real-time notifications for operational teams when abnormal conditions are detected (e.g., power spikes, cooling failures, or unexpected load distributions).
- Perform root cause analysis on anomalies and power incidents, correlating data across multiple systems (electrical, mechanical, environmental) to improve reliability and uptime.
- Collaborate with customer operations teams to translate anomaly insights into actionable maintenance and optimization strategies, reducing unplanned downtime and improving PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness).
- Grow the knowledge base about data center electrical systems within Phaidra by openly sharing your knowledge and experience.
Other
- Ability to explain complex domain specific concepts to non-domain experts.
- Excellent communication skills.
- Shares our Company Values: Transparency, Collaboration, Operational Excellence, Ownership, Empathy
- Must be located within one of the following areas: USA, Canada, or UK
- Must be legally authorized to work in the specified location(s) above
