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.
