6d•$182,000 - $414,400

About The Position

This leader will build the engineering operating model that defines how OCI develops, validates, and scales new infrastructure technologies from concept through global fleet deployment. The organization will establish the systems and governance supporting generational design development, technology roadmap integration, Basis of Design (BOD) management, new product introduction (NPI), engineering change management, first-of-a-kind (FOAK) validation, commissioning standardization, and continuous engineering improvement across OCI's global data center portfolio. A key responsibility of this organization will be translating OCI's evolving compute, networking, and AI infrastructure roadmaps into scalable facility engineering solutions. Working closely with Hardware and Architecture teams, the team will assess the impact of next-generation rack platforms, power densities, cooling technologies, and emerging infrastructure requirements on mechanical, electrical, plumbing, structural, and controls systems. The organization will ensure new technologies are evaluated through structured engineering reviews, comprehensive validation strategies, and phased deployment processes before fleet-wide adoption. This leader will establish repeatable engineering systems that ensure infrastructure designs, products, and engineering changes are technically sound, operationally validated, and scalable across OCI's global footprint. The organization will develop standardized engineering processes for technology introduction, engineering change control, design maturity, configuration management, commissioning, and operational handoff while ensuring engineering decisions are documented, traceable, and consistently implemented across regions. The role will drive cross-functional alignment, balancing innovation with standardization to accelerate deployment velocity while maintaining engineering rigor, operational readiness, and lifecycle performance.
