About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- 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.
- Conduct root cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical failures or field issues.
Requirements
What you’ll need- 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).
