TL;DR · Datacenter Engineer

JOB TITLE: Datacenter Engineer AMD is seeking a Data Center Technical Due Diligence & Assurance Engineer to assess and validate high-density data center infrastructure. This technical engineering role supports the infrastructure lifecycle from pre-commitment due diligence through commissioning and Ready for Service. The engineer will perform desktop and onsite validations, review engineering drawings and specifications, and identify technical risks or design gaps. Key responsibilities include evaluating utility power, MV/LV electrical distribution, UPS systems, generators, and cooling architectures like chillers, pumps, and direct liquid cooling. The role requires analyzing complex systems, performing root-cause analysis, and investigating infrastructure issues across electrical, mechanical, and energy disciplines. Candidates must possess technical expertise in critical facilities, industrial infrastructure, or engineering consulting to ensure operational readiness and reliability of data center systems.

What you'll do

  • Perform desktop and onsite technical due diligence of proposed data center facilities.
  • Review engineering drawings, specifications, equipment data, and supporting technical documentation.
  • Evaluate utility power, electrical distribution, UPS systems, generators, and behind-the-meter energy solutions.
  • Assess cooling architecture including chillers, pumps, cooling loops, and direct liquid cooling systems.
  • Identify technical risks, design gaps, dependencies, and required corrective actions.
  • Investigate infrastructure issues, perform root-cause analysis, and develop technical resolutions.
  • Review commissioning and integrated systems testing for L3, L4, L5, and Ready for Service activities.
  • Conduct onsite validation of power, cooling, controls, and connectivity infrastructure.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical, mechanical, energy, systems engineering, or a relevant technical discipline (or equivalent experience).
  • Ability to analyze complex infrastructure systems, evaluate engineering evidence, and identify technical risks and dependencies.
  • Ability to review engineering documentation, investigate technical issues, and validate field conditions.
  • Experience in data centers, critical facilities, utilities, industrial infrastructure, energy systems, or engineering consulting (preferred).
  • Experience with electrical infrastructure such as substations, MV/LV distribution, transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, and generators (preferred).
  • Experience with mechanical and cooling infrastructure such as chillers, pumps, cooling loops, and liquid cooling (preferred).
  • Approximately five or more years of relevant experience (preferred).
  • Ability to travel to data center locations.
