As a Senior Principal Data Center Engineer, you will focus on OCI data center mechanical infrastructure. A mix of technical breadth and depth is required to work cross-functionally with different disciplines (Mechanical, Electrical, Thermal, and Software) to develop thermal solutions optimized for the entire data center stack. You will work with internal and external partners, focusing on delivering the next generation of world-class hardware and data centers. Familiarization with Data Center Cooling Design and ASHRAE Data Center Standards is essential. You will build, conduct thermal simulations, and review thermal simulation models from partners to identify data center risks and improve efficiency. Additionally, you will design and conduct experiments for validating and producing accurate CFD and MBD models by comparing test results against platform telemetry and facility BMS data. Engaging with leading CFD software companies to drive their product roadmap to meet OCI's requirements for high-density fluid cooling solutions is also a key responsibility.
