Responsibilities
Lead greenfield/brownfield planning for AI data centers (10–100+ MW): site selection, utility engagement, interconnect studies, and permitting/ESG baselines
Define program phases (pilot → pod → hall → campus) with capacity ramps, risk registers, build schedules, and acceptance criteria
Architect rack‑scale GPU systems (e.g., NVL72/DGX SuperPOD patterns) including NVLink/NVSwitch inside the rack and NDR/800G fabrics across racks
Produce detailed LLDs: rack elevations, leaf/spine port maps, optics (MPO‑8/12), cable trays, and labeling standards; validate non‑blocking designs
Right‑size ToR/aggregation, management/OOB networks, and telemetry for tens of thousands of GPUs with deterministic latency and throughput
Engineer >50–150 kW per rack envelopes using A/B power, 48 V power shelves, busway, intelligent PDUs, and UPS/BESS/generator stacks for ride‑through and extended outages
Design liquid cooling ecosystems: direct‑to‑chip cold plates, rack/floor CDUs, manifolds, rear‑door heat exchangers, leak detection, water treatment, and room‑neutral operation
Model energy KPIs (PUE/WUE, tokens‑per‑watt) and heat‑reuse options; embed safety, redundancy (N, N+1, 2N), and serviceability in all designs
Define parallel storage tiers (NVMe‑backed, IB/Ethernet multi‑rail) for training/feature IO; integrate object/file services for datasets, checkpoints, and results
Size cache/staging and throughput targets; implement namespace growth plans and data lifecycle policies aligned to model training cadence
Create a multi‑year hardware roadmap: accelerators (GPU generations), CPU, memory/HBM, NICs, optics, CDUs, PDUs, cabinets, and spares
Develop BoMs and vendor lots per phase; negotiate lead times and logistics; maintain cost/performance models and refresh triggers
Standardize rack templates (Training, Inference, Storage, Fabric, Management) to minimize change orders and compress deployment timelines
Implement zoning, micro‑segmentation, secure OOB, PAM/MFA, encryption at rest/in flight; ensure physical security and safety systems for liquid and high‑power environments
Align designs with ISO 27001, SOC 2, OSHA/NFPA, electrical codes, and environmental reporting; document commissioning and emergency runbooks
Own SOWs, estimates, RAID logs, executive reporting, and change control across OEMs (compute, network, storage), cooling/power vendors, colos/GCs
Mentor architects/engineers; codify standards, templates, and automation (Ansible/Terraform) for repeatable delivery
