📋 Description

• Serve as the lead architect and development manager for complex rack-level solutions, owning system-level design decisions across mechanical, electrical, power, thermal, networking, and software integration domains. • Lead customer-facing technical engagements from RFI/RFQ all the way to first hardware delivery, including design reviews, trade-off discussions, and executive-level conversations. • Translate ambiguous or evolving customer requirements into clear program frameworks, ensuring alignment between customer expectations and engineering execution. • Demonstrate strong commercial awareness by effectively managing customer expectations, pushing back when requirements introduce risk or inefficiency, and confidently addressing challenging technical and cost-related questions. • Drive cross-functional alignment across all departments (executives, engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and program) to ensure cohesive solution development with emphasis on Bill of Materials (BOM) management and scheduling. • Own rack-level architecture including power distribution design, thermal strategies (air and liquid cooling), cable routing, serviceability, and manufacturability. • Provide deep technical guidance on rack infrastructure including PDUs, busbars, liquid cooling systems (CDUs, manifolds, QDs), airflow design, and high-density compute integration. • Oversee architecture decisions impacting performance, cost, scalability, and deployment efficiency. • Drive program execution from concept through production, ensuring schedules are clearly defined, tracked, and met. • Apply strong program management discipline: define milestones, identify risks early, escalate issues proactively, and hold cross-functional teams accountable to commitments. • Drive readiness support calls internally from initial NPI scoping to prototyping to mass production, ensuring all systems are operable together from a power, thermal, and software standpoint. • Partner with customers and internal stakeholders to continuously refine designs based on deployment feedback and operational learnings. • Collaborate with compliance and certification teams to ensure mechanical designs meet global regulatory requirements (e.g., UL, CE, ISTA, ASTM). • Mentor and guide engineers across disciplines, establishing best practices in rack system architecture and integration. • Understanding of rack installation constraints, maintenance access, and serviceability in rack mechanical infrastructure. • Conduct root cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical failures or field issues.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field is required • Minimum of 10 years’ experience in engineering, systems integration, or data center hardware design. • Minimum of 3 years’ rack-level (L11) solution design and integration experience. • Minimum of 3 years’ switch/server (L10) experience, including compute, storage, or networking hardware integration. • Proven ability to drive the development and execution of complex rack solutions for hyperscale or large-scale data center environments, managing 12-18 month lifecycles and portfolios valued at hundreds of millions of dollars. • Familiarity with industry standards (EIA, ORV3, OCP) and global power architectures. • Demonstrated experience working directly with customers in technical and commercially sensitive environments. • Strong background in program execution, including schedule ownership, risk management, and cross-functional leadership. • Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills – a must. • Strong understanding of mechanical systems, integration strategies, and program management. • Hands-on experience with prototype fabrication and testing (mechanical S&V, software burn-in and test validation).
