About The Position

We are seeking a forward-thinking Data Center Design and Architect to lead the design and deployment of next-generation data centers optimized for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. This role focuses on integrating cutting-edge GPU-based infrastructure, including NVIDIA B100 GPUs, Dell PowerEdge GPU servers, and advanced networking and cooling technologies, into scalable, energy-efficient and high-density environments.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in data center design and architecture, with at least 3 years focused on AI/HPC infrastructure.
• Deep understanding of GPU architectures, particularly NVIDIA B100, and experience with Dell PowerEdge XE9680 and R670 platforms.
• Expertise in high-density rack design, power distribution (including 48V DC), and advanced cooling systems (liquid, immersion, rear-door heat exchangers).
• Experience with high-performance storage systems like Dell PowerScale F710.
• Proficiency in deploying and managing high-speed networking using NVIDIA Quantum and Spectrum switches.
• Familiarity with DCIM tools, iDRAC, and OpenManage Enterprise.
• Strong project management and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice To Haves

• Relevant certifications (e.g., Uptime Institute Accredited Tier Designer, LEED AP, BICSI) are a plus.
• Experience designing or operating hyperscale or AI-focused data centers.
• Knowledge of sustainability practices and energy-efficient design for high-performance computing environments.
• Familiarity with edge computing and hybrid cloud architectures.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement data centers optimized for AI/ML workloads, with a focus on high-density GPU deployments and advanced cooling strategies.
• Design infrastructure to support NVIDIA HGX B100 NVL8 SXM GPU Air Cooled 1100W Assemblies and Dell PowerEdge XE9680 and R670 servers.
• Integrate Dell PowerScale F710 storage systems for high-throughput, low-latency data access.
• Design and deploy high-performance networking using NVIDIA Quantum-3 Q3400, NVIDIA Spectrum-4 SN5600/10, and NVIDIA Spectrum SN2201 switches.
• Implement and manage Dell Integrated Rack 5000 solutions with both air and direct liquid cooling (DLC) capabilities.
• Utilize iDRAC and OpenManage Enterprise for server management, monitoring, and automation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align infrastructure with AI/ML workload requirements and business objectives.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., ASHRAE, Uptime Institute, LEED) and support sustainability initiatives.
• Lead capacity planning, risk assessments, and performance optimization for GPU-intensive environments.
