Datacenter Design Lead
Skills
About the Role
You lead the physical design of AI factory sites, owning power topology, cooling architecture, civil works, and facility layout from concept through construction handover. You design high-density compute facilities, lead modeling and simulation, drive electrical architecture decisions, create scalable design patterns, and serve as the senior technical authority for physical infrastructure tradeoffs.
Requirements
- Experience building hyperscale campuses, HPC datacenters, liquid-cooled facilities, or high-density compute deployments
- Deep knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems engineering for mission-critical environments
- Knowledge of direct-to-chip liquid cooling and advanced thermal architectures
- Strong command of CAD and CFD simulation and facility design workflows
- Experience delivering projects with construction and utility partners
- Ability to coordinate site selection, capacity planning, and utility timelines
- Success bridging facility engineering detail with strategic infrastructure roadmaps
Responsibilities
- Lead datacenter campus and compute hall design
- Own power topology, cooling topology, rack density planning, cable routing, and physical deployment standards
- Design facilities for 100 kW to 1 MW+ racks
- Design liquid cooling, CDU loop architectures, chilled water systems, rear-door heat exchangers, immersion readiness, and redundancy strategies
- Lead CAD, CFD/CFM modeling, thermal simulation, electrical one-lines, grounding, UPS and generator integration, and fire suppression design inputs
- Drive electrical architecture decisions across utility interconnection, switchgear, UPS, backup generation, grounding, and distribution
- Create repeatable design patterns across campuses and deployment waves
- Serve as the senior technical authority for physical infrastructure tradeoffs
