  • Partner with internal and external teams to validate designs
Data Center Interface & Deployment Readiness
  • Define platform interfaces with infrastructure, including:
    • Liquid cooling (CDUs, fluid routing, connections)
    • Installation, transport, and handling
    • Facility interfaces (space, power, cooling, serviceability)
  • Ensure deployment readiness and resolve gaps impacting scale
Telemetry & Observability
  • Define telemetry requirements (power, temperature, flow, pressure, system health)
  • Ensure instrumentation is enabled at deployment
  • Partner with software/data teams to support monitoring and analysis
  • Identify and close gaps in telemetry coverage and data quality
Standards & Documentation
  • Establish best practices for connections, transport, leak detection, and instrumentation
  • Maintain documentation as a source of truth
Cross‑Functional Leadership
