The Director, Solutions Architecture & Application Engineering – Data Centers leads Honeywell Technologies’ global Solutions Architecture and Application Engineering capability for the data center market.
The role leads the development of integrated architectures and engineered solutions across the Honeywell Technologies data center portfolio, spanning power and energy management, electrical infrastructure, onsite generation and microgrids, cooling and thermal management, automation and controls, software, fire and life safety, physical security, asset performance, OT cybersecurity and lifecycle operations.
Responsibilities
Solutions Architecture & Application Engineering
- Lead integrated solution architecture. Translate customer requirements, Basis of Design documents and infrastructure requirements into scalable Honeywell Technologies data center architectures.
- Lead application engineering. Establish common methods for application design, system selection, controls architecture, integration architecture, sequences of operation, technical compliance, validation and solution optimization.
- Architect across the data center. Develop solutions spanning utility and grid interfaces, onsite generation, electrical distribution, microgrids, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), EPMS/PMS, energy and demand management, BMS/DDC, cooling and environmental controls, fire and life safety, physical security, operational software, asset performance and OT cybersecurity.
- Drive multidisciplinary integration. Ensure power, thermal, controls, safety, security, software and OT capabilities operate as a coherent architecture rather than independent systems.
- Lead technical assurance. Establish design reviews covering performance, reliability, resilience, scalability, interoperability, cybersecurity, maintainability, standards compliance and deployment readiness.
- Advance next-generation architectures. Develop engineering approaches for AI and high-density computing, liquid cooling, campus-scale power requirements, grid constraints, onsite generation, distributed energy and resilient operations.
Customers & Partnerships
- Lead strategic customer engagement. Serve as a senior technical interface with hyperscale, colocation and other strategic data center customers through architecture workshops, design reviews and technical roadmap discussions.
- Partner with global EPCs and engineering firms. Establish repeatable global reference architectures, application designs and engineering standards incorporating Honeywell Technologies capabilities.
- Engage the technology ecosystem. Work with consulting engineers, OEMs, electrical and cooling infrastructure providers, technology partners and systems integrators to define interfaces and integrated architectures.
- Lead complex technical decisions. Resolve cross-domain architecture issues and ensure technical risks, assumptions, dependencies and interfaces are identified and addressed early in the design cycle.
- Connect global and regional requirements. Develop globally repeatable architectures that can be adapted for applicable codes, standards, certifications and customer requirements.
Global Reference Architecture & NVIDIA DSX
- Establish global reference architectures. Define repeatable Honeywell Technologies architectures, Basis of Design templates, master specifications, application guides, compliance matrices, interface requirements and engineering standards.
- Shape the NVIDIA DSX vision. Partner with the Data Center Compliance Director to establish the technical vision, architecture principles and engineering approach for Honeywell Technologies’ participation in the NVIDIA DSX platform ecosystem.
- Develop global EPC reference designs. Collaborate with leading EPC and engineering firms to create scalable design patterns incorporating Honeywell Technologies capabilities across power, energy, cooling, controls, safety, security and operations.
- Connect compute and facility infrastructure. Translate evolving AI compute density, power and thermal requirements into facility architectures addressing energy availability, electrical distribution, cooling, controls, monitoring and resilient operations.
- Advance digital engineering. Establish approaches using simulation, digital models, technical validation and operational data to improve architecture quality and deployment readiness.
- Drive architecture reuse. Develop validated architecture modules and design patterns that can be replicated across customers and regions while accommodating project-specific requirements.
Technical & Organizational Leadership
- Build and lead the organization. Develop a high-performing global team of Solutions Architects, Application Engineers and senior technical specialists.
- Develop technical talent. Establish competency models, career paths, mentoring, technical training and succession plans.
- Establish technical governance. Define architecture principles, engineering quality standards, design-review processes, technical decision rights and escalation mechanisms.
- Set technical priorities. Align Solutions Architecture and Application Engineering resources to strategic customers, programs and business priorities.
- Serve as a senior technical authority. Remain personally engaged in strategic architectures, customer engagements and complex technical decisions.
- Create a culture of technical excellence. Promote systems thinking, engineering rigor, customer focus, reuse, speed and accountability.
Portfolio & Business Enablement
- Lead across the integrated Honeywell Technologies portfolio. Establish architectures spanning power infrastructure and energy orchestration, building and environmental systems, fire and life safety, physical security, infrastructure management, operational intelligence and OT cybersecurity.
- Translate customer needs into technology requirements. Establish a structured Voice of Customer process covering architecture gaps, interoperability, standards, certifications and emerging application requirements.
- Influence technology roadmaps. Partner with engineering and product management teams to address capability, certification and integration gaps that limit customer adoption.
- Enable specification and design-in. Support customers, EPCs and consulting engineers in incorporating Honeywell Technologies architectures into customer standards, Basis of Design documents, specifications and reference designs.
- Build reusable engineering assets. Establish master specifications, application design guides, technical playbooks, integration patterns and lessons-learned libraries.
- Measure architecture
