Sr. Director, Data Center Design & Product Engineering – OCI Data Center Infrastructure
OracleAbout the role
This organization will be responsible for developing OCI's standardized data center design
platforms, creating engineering standards and reference architectures, driving design innovation,
and ensuring designs are optimized for constructability, scalability, manufacturability,
operational excellence, and total lifecycle cost. The role will establish engineering ownership
across the entire design lifecycle—from concept development and requirements definition
through detailed engineering, design validation, deployment support, and continuous design
improvement.
In partnership with OEMs and strategic suppliers, this leader will also define OCI's modular
infrastructure strategy, drive off-site manufacturing and assembly initiatives, influence
technology roadmaps and product selection, and help shape next-generation infrastructure
solutions that accelerate deployment while improving quality and consistency across OCI's
global fleet.
The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in mission-critical facility design, MEP
engineering, and hyperscale infrastructure with proven success building engineering
organizations, driving technical strategy, and influencing complex supplier ecosystems.
