Cloud engineer Jobs in Ann Arbor, MI

Utilidata is a fast-growing NVIDIA-backed AI company enabling AI data centers to dynamically orchestrate power and unlock more compute capacity from existing energy infrastructure.

For over a decade, we have applied AI to the electric grid — bringing real-time visibility and power-flow control to complex energy infrastructure.

Our Karman platform, built on a custom NVIDIA module, brings that same capability to AI data centers, giving operators a way to better use the power already available to them.

We are expanding our diverse team of experts and looking for electrical design engineers who are mission-driven, collaborative, and adaptive.

This role requires operating at the nexus of embedded systems engineering, power systems engineering, data science, algorithms, rapid prototyping, and hardware certification.
