Responsibilities

  • Develop and own comprehensive data center facility designs, system-level specifications, and physical/electrical topology plans from concept through detailed design.
  • Formulate multi-generation infrastructure evolution roadmaps that address exponential power growth, accelerated deployment timelines, and sustainability goals.
  • Lead the end-to-end physical infrastructure integration for ultra-high-density AI/ML platforms, including high-power busways, power taps, and direct liquid-cooling handoffs.
  • Write cross-disciplinary interface control documents and form, fit, and function standards to ensure modular interoperability across building blocks, power systems, and rack designs.
  • Direct outside Architectural and Engineering consultants and synthesize cross-functional requirements into buildable data hall designs.
