The ideal candidate will have a strong background in managing hyperscale deployments and a working knowledge of Supermicro CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) systems.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Manage end-to-end deployment execution for AI data center builds, from planning and design through deployment and commissioning.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams including electrical, mechanical, and hardware engineers to ensure timely and high-quality deployment delivery.
• Oversee the implementation of electrical redundancy architectures (N+1, 2N, distributed redundant) to meet uptime and performance requirements.
• Lead the deployment of direct liquid cooling (DLC) infrastructure, including:

- Flow rate and pressure balancing

- Coolant compatibility and water treatment systems

- Integration with Supermicro CDU systems (preferred)

• Drive data hall layout planning, ensuring optimal rack density, cooling distribution, cable management, and scalability.
• Collaborate with hyperscale and cloud infrastructure teams to align physical infrastructure with AI/ML workload demands.
• Track deployment milestones, budgets, and risk mitigation strategies; report progress to internal stakeholders and leadership.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards (ASHRAE, Uptime Institute, TIA-942) and Supermicro’s internal engineering guidelines.
• Support vendor selection, contract management, and quality assurance for infrastructure components and services.

• An ability to build and maintain strong relationships with clients, ensuring their expectations are met or exceeded throughout the deployment lifecycle.
• Skilled in articulating complex technical concepts in a clear, concise, and professional manner to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Capable of managing and resolving conflicts diplomatically, especially when deployment challenges arise or client expectations shift.
• Attentive to client concerns and feedback, demonstrating a genuine commitment to understanding and addressing their needs.
• Comfortable presenting project updates, technical overviews, and risk assessments to clients and executive stakeholders.

Adaptability and Poise Under Pressure: Maintains composure and professionalism in high-stakes or rapidly changing environments, especially during on-site client interactions

Qualifications:

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 6+ years of experience in data center infrastructure or deployment management, with a focus on AI or GPU-based compute environments.
• Proven experience managing deployments in hyperscale or cloud-scale data center environments.
• Strong understanding of electrical infrastructure and redundancy schemes (UPS, PDUs, switchgear, generators).
• Hands-on experience with direct liquid cooling systems, including flow/pressure design and coolant management.
• Proficiency in data hall layout design, including containment, airflow, and modular scalability.
• Familiarity with AI/ML workload infrastructure requirements and GPU cloud platforms.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and stakeholder management skills.
• Proficiency in project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira) and design software (MS Visio, AutoCAD, Revit).

Preferred:

• Experience with Supermicro CDU systems and liquid-cooled server platforms.
• Certifications such as PMP, CDCP, CDCS, or Uptime ATD.
• Experience with modular data center deployments and rapid build strategies.
• Knowledge of sustainability practices and
