Solution Architect

NordicEPOD is building Norway’s next great industrial success story. We stand at the forefront of the technological revolution driving AI infrastructure across Europe and shaping the digital society of tomorrow. Our modular power units (EPODs) form the beating heart of data centers, powering the rapid global growth of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital transformation. We deliver standardized, high-performance power systems that integrate UPS, switchgear, cooling, and monitoring technology – all developed with an uncompromising focus on sustainability, digitalization, and reliability.

From our new 12,000 m² factory in Sande, near Oslo, we can produce up to 350 EPOD units per year, powered by Eaton technology and fully integrated digital processes. Since our founding in 2022, our growth has been remarkable, reaching revenues of more than NOK 1.8 billion in 2024. As we expand internationally with a new factory in Portugal, our ambition is clear: to become the leading provider of modular power infrastructure for data centers across the EMEA region.

We are not just building products, we are building the technology of the future and the foundation for artificial intelligence. Our solutions deliver the power that fuels innovation, sustainability, and progress across a new digital Europe. That’s why we are now looking for forward-thinking and solution-oriented people to join us on this journey. At NordicEPOD, you’ll have the opportunity to shape a new industry, influence how data centers are built and operated, and play a key role in a company setting the benchmark for an entire sector. Today, we are 170 employees, but our journey has only just begun. Together, we’re building something big: for Norway, for Europe, and for the future.

An EPOD is a 17-by-3.5-meter, 35-ton installation that contains a range of prefabricated solutions, including emergency power systems, UPS units, switchgear, cooling, transformers, and associated infrastructure. The purpose is to deliver these EPODs—each with a capacity of up to 2 MW—directly to data centers, providing a standardized and complete package to ensure uptime. Operational downtime at data centers is, as we know, not an option.

You will define customer solutions that ensure technical excellence, efficiency, and scalability, translating complex requirements into complete, production-ready designs. Working closely with customers, suppliers, and internal engineering teams, you’ll lead the multi-disciplinary design process across electrical, structural, mechanical, and HVAC disciplines. You’ll manage design clarifications, coordinate engineering inputs, and ensure that all solutions meet both customer expectations and NordicEPOD’s standards for quality and performance. In this role, you’ll play a pivotal part in shaping how EPOD solutions are developed and standardized, driving continuous improvement and innovation across projects. Your ability to combine technical insight with cross-disciplinary collaboration will be a key success factor for both NordicEPOD and our customers.

Act as the primary point of contact for the customer and Project Manager regarding all design-related matters, including design clarifications and change management.
Ensure that all technical documentation and specifications meet internal standards and client requirements.
Balance work across 1–3 ongoing projects while also contributing to the development and improvement of NordicEPOD’s standardized design concepts.
Promote collaboration and knowledge sharing between disciplines to secure quality, efficiency, and innovation in the design process.

Qualifications

We are seeking someone structured and goal-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple interfaces in a fast-paced environment. You communicate clearly, build strong relationships across teams and disciplines, and maintain a proactive, decisive, and solution-focused approach in your work.

Required experience:

Higher education in electrical engineering, energy, or automation – ideally a master’s degree
5+ years experience with technical design and project leadership
Strong understanding of high- and low-voltage systems and technical documentation
Experience with procurement and supplier follow-up is an advantage
Fluent in English, both written and spoken (Norwegian is an advantage)

What will you get from working with us?

At NordicEPOD, you will take on a key role in a fast-growing company delivering critical infrastructure to Europe’s data centers. The position gives you the opportunity to influence how we standardize and streamline our delivery process, contributing directly to the development of an industry that plays a crucial role in Europe’s digital transformation.

You will be part of an international, cross-functional environment that offers both professional and personal development in a dynamic workplace. The role is based at our factory in Sande, and we offer competitive terms and a strong professional community driven by collaboration and shared success.
