TL;DR · Principal Engineer, Solutions Architecture

As a Principal Engineer, Solutions Architecture on the Services Integration team, you will lead the complete and detailed design of rack-based compute, cloud, and storage solutions. You will assume life cycle ownership of individual projects, including requirements discovery, concept and design, and physical build sustaining. Your daily work involves creating detailed rack layouts based on unique project requirements, data center constraints, and transport limitations. You will perform physical fit analysis, CAD modeling, center of mass calculations, and phase and load balancing. You must possess knowledge of design for manufacturing, server hardware, networking equipment, PDU, and UPS. You will apply fundamental electrical principles related to power management to ensure safe transport and serviceability while collaborating cross-functionally to align hardware orders with intended customer functions.

What you'll do

  • Create detailed rack layouts based on customer requirements, data center constraints, and transport limitations.
  • Perform physical fit analysis and CAD modeling to detect and prevent collisions during physical builds.
  • Calculate center of mass and tip angles to ensure safe transport and handling during delivery.
  • Align hardware orders with intended functions by coordinating with project managers, sales teams, and customers.
  • Develop and maintain detailed documentation for rack configurations, including build documents and hardware BOMs.
  • Manage weight calculations, phase balancing, and load balancing for all rack configurations.
  • Assume life cycle ownership of projects from requirements discovery through physical build sustaining.

What we're looking for

  • Knowledge of design for manufacturing and serviceability for rack servers.
  • Ability to visualize and implement conceptual layouts to avoid conflicts and ensure maximum serviceability.
  • Strong understanding of fundamental electrical principles related to power management in a data center environment.
  • Intermediate to advanced knowledge of server hardware, networking equipment, PDU, and UPS.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate cross-functionally.
