Physical Infrastructure Design Lead
Job description
Text:
TL;DR
Physical Infrastructure Design Lead (AI Datacenters): Leading the physical design of AI factory sites, including power topology, cooling architecture, civil works, and facility layouts from concept through construction handover with an accent on high-density compute, liquid cooling, and mission-critical electrical systems. Focus on designing 100 kW to 1 MW+ racks, developing thermal and electrical simulations, integrating utility and backup systems, and creating scalable infrastructure patterns across multiple campuses.
Company
develops and operates AI factory sites for high-density compute deployments.
What you will do
- Lead the physical design of datacenter campuses and compute halls, covering power topology, cooling topology, rack density, cable routing, and deployment standards.
- Design infrastructure for 100 kW to 1 MW+ racks, including direct-to-chip liquid cooling, CDU loops, chilled water systems, rear-door heat exchangers, immersion readiness, and megawatt-scale redundancy.
- Lead CAD, CFD/CFM modeling, thermal simulations, electrical one-lines, grounding strategies, UPS and generator integration, and fire suppression design inputs.
- Drive electrical architecture decisions across utility interconnection, switchgear, UPS, backup generation, grounding, and fault-tolerant distribution.
- Create repeatable design patterns for multiple campuses and deployment waves while serving as the senior technical authority for physical infrastructure tradeoffs and lifecycle cost.
Requirements
- Experience building hyperscale campuses, HPC datacenters, liquid-cooled facilities, or high-density compute deployments.
- Deep knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems engineering for mission-critical environments.
- Expertise in direct-to-chip liquid cooling and advanced thermal architectures.
- Strong command of CAD, CFD, and facility design workflows.
- Experience coordinating cross-functional delivery with construction and utility partners, including site selection, capacity planning, and utility timelines.
- Demonstrated ability to connect facility engineering detail with strategic infrastructure roadmaps.
Culture & Benefits
- Work spans AI factory sites, multiple campuses, and successive infrastructure deployment waves.
- Role involves collaboration with construction and utility partners.
- Technical decisions directly influence AI cluster deployment and infrastructure lifecycle cost.
