• Own the end-to-end design process for new data center builds and expansions. • Translate business, hardware, and workload requirements into facility design specifications (power, cooling, network, and floor space). • Ensure designs optimize density, reliability, and efficiency while supporting rapid scalability. • Coordinate with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineers and consultants to deliver detailed designs. • Define requirements for high-density rack power, redundancy and UPS configurations. • Lead cooling design trade-offs (air, liquid, immersion) to meet GPU cluster needs. • Work closely with network and hardware teams to ensure physical layout supports cabling, interconnects, and future expansion. • Ensure all designs comply with international and regional standards (e.g., Uptime Institute Tier guidelines, local building codes). • Incorporate safety, fire suppression, and physical security measures. • Coordinate with construction project managers and external contractors during build phases. • Evaluate emerging GPU data center technologies and integrate innovative solutions.
