The Principal Engineer, Systems Architecture Engineering joins the engineering team to define integrated data center and modular systems architectures. This hands-on technical leadership role involves converting power, cooling, IT infrastructure, controls, and software capabilities into a coordinated platform. You will own reference architectures for modular and stick-built data centers, prefabricated modular and high-density compute product lines, system-level interfaces, and complex controls systems. Daily responsibilities include generating architectures, models, specifications, and analysis while establishing integration standards and technical requirements. You will utilize expertise in electrical, mechanical, and systems architecture engineering to manage power delivery, thermal management, telemetry, and automation. The role solves complex engineering problems by ensuring end-to-end platform feasibility, reliability, and manufacturability for hyperscale data centers, AI infrastructure, and industrial automation systems.
Define integrated data center and modular systems architectures for power, cooling, IT infrastructure, and controls.
Own reference architectures for modular data centers, prefabricated modular products, and high-density compute lines.
Develop complex controls systems architecture spanning power, cooling, telemetry, and AI-driven optimization.
Establish system interfaces, integration standards, architecture specifications, block diagrams, and technical requirements.
Lead the development of the reference design library from early concept through production-level design maturity.
Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure platform feasibility, reliability, manufacturability, and customer value.
Drive technical due diligence for acquisitions, partnerships, and architecture-impacting technology investments.
Represent the company in strategic architecture discussions with hyperscalers, colocation providers, and technology partners.
What we're looking for
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Master’s degree or equivalent experience (preferred).
12+ years of experience in systems architecture, data center infrastructure, controls, power/cooling integration, or complex electromechanical platform design.
Demonstrated leadership in electrical, mechanical, and/or systems architecture engineering disciplines.
Strong technical breadth across power delivery, thermal management, controls, telemetry, IT infrastructure, automation, and modular systems.
Experience defining architecture specifications, interface standards, system models, product requirements, and reference designs.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical decision-making in high-complexity engineering environments.
Experience with hyperscale data centers, AI infrastructure, modular infrastructure, industrial automation, or critical power/cooling systems (strongly preferred).
