Job description

The Opportunity

The Building Solutions Engineer is highly motivated Data Center Building Solution Architect/Engineer to provide technical definition of our data center capacity solutions. This role is highly cross-functional, focusing on translating end-user capacity, density, and reliability requirements into detailed, executable power, cooling, and space designs that align with our global standards.

The Opportunity

The Building Solutions Engineer is highly motivated Data Center Building Solution Architect/Engineer to provide technical definition of our data center capacity solutions. This role is highly cross-functional, focusing on translating end-user capacity, density, and reliability requirements into detailed, executable power, cooling, and space designs that align with our global standards.

What you will do?

• Review and Interpret End-User Requirements: Act as the technical liaison between internal IT, business units, and real estate teams to gather, analyze, and formalize end-user requirements related to compute density, cooling strategy, power needs (kW per rack), latency, and reliability tiers.
• Capacity Planning: Develop comprehensive capacity models that forecast power, cooling, and space utilization over the data center's lifecycle based on projected IT growth and business demand.
• Solution Design Alignment: Translate user requirements into a specific set of physical infrastructure specifications (e.g., number of IT racks, required UPS capacity, optimal cooling technology, facility size) for new construction and retrofit projects.
• Design and standardize repeatable, modular data hall solutions that can efficiently meet a variety of user requirements (e.g., standardizing a "High Density Pod" vs. a "Standard Density Pod").
• Ensure all proposed solutions adhere to established global design standards, resilience targets (e.g., N+1, 2N), and cost benchmarks.
• Develop detailed scope of work (SOW) documentation and technical design narratives that define the chosen solution for engineering and construction teams.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to validate that the final MEP designs (power distribution, HVAC, fire suppression) successfully meet the input user requirements and capacity forecasts.
• Present and articulate solution trade-offs (CapEx vs. OpEx, density vs. flexibility) to executive leadership and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience in gathering, prioritizing, and translating complex technical requirements from IT/Business teams into physical infrastructure designs.
• Strong understanding of data center capacity variables (kW, kVA, CFM, square footage) and how they influence the total cost of ownership (TCO).
• Familiarity with major data center subsystems (Power, Cooling, BMS, Security).
• Soft Skills: Exceptional interpersonal, negotiation, and written/verbal communication skills required for bridging technical and business teams.
• Prior experience with formal requirements management methodologies or tools.
• Certifications such as Uptime Institute Accredited Tier Designer (ATD) or Certified Data Center Professional (CDCP).
• Experience in a hyperscale or co-location environment managing diverse and rapidly changing user requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Architecture, or a relevant technical discipline.
• 4+ years of progressive experience in data center design, capacity planning, or technical program management within a mission-critical environment.
