Physical Infrastructure Architect / AI Data Center Architect

We are looking for a **Senior Data Center Systems Architect**to lead the technical architecture and standardization strategy for next-generation modular AI infrastructure platforms and high-density compute campuses.

This role owns the definition and evolution of scalable reference architectures spanning modular deployments through multi-building environments supporting advanced accelerated computing workloads. The Architect partners closely with sales engineering, manufacturing, electrical engineering, and strategic technology partners to translate customer requirements into repeatable, manufacturable infrastructure solutions.

**Responsibilities:**

* Define and evolve standardized reference architectures for modular high-density AI infrastructure platforms and scalable campus deployments.
* Drive the balance between standardized platform components and site-specific configurability across cooling, density, environmental, and power-source considerations.
* Lead technical discovery and solution scoping with customer engineering teams and internal sales engineering stakeholders.
* Translate workload characteristics, accelerator profiles, and site constraints into deterministic infrastructure designs, deployment plans, and bill-of-materials definitions.
* Maintain alignment with leading accelerated computing ecosystem architectures, including GPU platforms, high-performance fabrics, storage architectures, and next-generation networking technologies.
* Develop phased infrastructure strategies enabling current-generation deployments while preserving upgrade paths for future compute generations.
* Own architecture decisions across IT and infrastructure domains in coordination with electrical engineering, controls, and utility-facing design teams.
* Contribute to utility coordination packages, load analysis reviews, and critical infrastructure planning activities.
* Drive a productized engineering mindset where repeatability, manufacturability, and catalog-based deployment standards are prioritized over one-off custom solutions.
* Support factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT), commissioning activities, and technical customer reviews.
* Collaborate with manufacturing, supply-chain, and operations teams to ensure architecture decisions align with production realities and deployment timelines.
* Represent the organization in technical steering discussions, customer design reviews, and industry events.

**Requirements:**

* 15+ years of experience in senior/principal architecture roles within hyperscale infrastructure, mission-critical environments, modular data center platforms, EPC organizations, or advanced AI/HPC infrastructure ecosystems.
* Demonstrated experience delivering large-scale high-density compute environments utilizing liquid cooling technologies.
* Experienced in:

+ Mission-critical electrical infrastructure (MV/LV distribution, switchgear, ATS, SCADA, utility coordination), and
+ IT infrastructure architecture (rack design, network fabrics, storage architecture, thermal management, cooling distribution).
* Experience working with modular, productized, or catalog-driven engineering environments rather than exclusively custom-built infrastructure projects.
* Familiarity with accelerated computing ecosystems, AI cluster infrastructure, and modern high-performance networking architectures.
* Comfortable operating as a senior technical IC with executive-level customer exposure.
* Proven ability to communicate complex infrastructure trade-offs to technical committees, customers, and cross-functional stakeholders.
* Experience with factory-built or modular deployment models strongly preferred.

**Preferred Experience**

* High-density liquid cooling deployments exceeding traditional enterprise rack densities.
* Exposure to large-scale AI or HPC cluster deployments.
* Knowledge of commissioning, reliability, and compliance standards commonly used in mission-critical infrastructure environments.
* Experience supporting regulated, government, or critical infrastructure environments is beneficial but not required.
