What you will do

• Own power and cooling topology data for the compute fleet, validate telemetry against building behavior, and define load-management requirements through commissioning and incident support.
• Build and audit availability models for data center electrical and mechanical systems and define cloud availability zones and failure domains.
• Model power draw from chip to rack to facility by workload and hardware generation to support capacity planning, design envelopes, and load forecasting.
• Work with data center developers, operators, cloud providers, and chip vendors on architecture reviews, reliability studies, rack power specifications, and operator interfaces.
• Translate infrastructure requirements across hardware, software, facilities, legal, commercial, and external partner teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, power systems, reliability engineering, controls engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in data center infrastructure, facility engineering, or reliability engineering.
• Deep knowledge of data center power distribution, cooling architectures, redundancy schemes, and infrastructure failure-mode management.
• Experience building quantitative reliability or availability models, power or capacity models and forecasts, or software-based power management, load-shedding, or control systems.
• Familiarity with SCADA, BMS, EPMS, telemetry pipelines, control systems, and software bridging IT and OT.
• Track record of cross-functional collaboration across hardware, software, and facilities teams.

Nice to have

• Experience with accelerator-class deployments, rack power architectures, and power-management interfaces.
• Experience with integrated systems testing and commissioning at L4/L5 or writing sequences of operation.
• Experience with SLA development, availability commitments, or service-credit frameworks.
• Experience with energy storage, microgrids, demand response, or behind-the-meter generation.
