Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
8+ years of hands-on experience in data center engineering, build design, or facility operations.
Proven expertise in air-cooled and liquid-cooled environments, including high-density rack integration.
Strong knowledge of power systems (PDUs, breakers, transformers) and facility distribution voltage (208V, 415V, 480V).
Familiarity with Uptime Tier Standards, and electrical code compliance.
Experience in vendor management, partner evaluation, and contract negotiation.
Proficiency in reading and generating M&E drawings, rack elevations, structured cabling maps, and capacity layouts.
Experience with tools like AutoCAD, Visio, SolidWorks, and DCIM platforms.
Strong analytical, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end design and deployment of air-cooled and liquid-cooled data centers, including power, cooling, and rack integration.
Perform data center rack-level power and thermal load calculations; determine PDU configurations, circuit capacity, voltage selection (208V, 415V, 480V), and phase balancing (2-phase/3-phase).
Understand data center mechanical and electrical (M&E) infrastructure drawings, including line diagrams for UPS, generator backup, transformer, and power switching logic.
Support and optimize DCIM platforms for visibility into real-time environmental monitoring, asset management, and power utilization.
Define and enforce data center SOPs, build standards, structured cabling guidelines, and rack & stack best practices.
Act as a subject matter expert in Data Center AI/HPC/Enterprise infrastructure design.
Analyze and report on data center facility SLAs, power usage effectiveness (PUE), capacity planning, and environmental metrics.
Collaborate with facilities and IT teams for ongoing M&E maintenance, retrofits, and root cause analysis of infrastructure issues.
Oversee vendor and partner engagement, including negotiation of Master Service Agreements (MSAs), NDAs, and contracts with structured cabling, mechanical, and electrical vendors.
Participate in liquid cooling system design, including cold plate or immersion cooling solutions for GPU/AI workloads.
Provide strategic infrastructure consultation to internal project teams and business units for new builds, migrations, and hybrid deployments.
Assist in managing access network hardware and connectivity for internal systems.
Good understanding of IT Operations and interconnectivity solutions including Network, Systems.
Understanding of electrical infrastructure redundancy (e.g., A/B power, UPS, PDU) and failover systems
Exposure to mechanical systems such as CRAC, CRAH, and cooling containments
Familiarity with green energy or sustainable data center practices.
Participate in data center sourcing, site selection, and partner evaluation including site walk-throughs, design feasibility, and build cost estimates.
Background in data center compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.)
