Data Center White Space Designer

Own the white space and rack layout strategy for current and upcoming AI/ML rack platforms (NVIDIA GPU racks, Google TPU pods, Cerebras wafer-scale systems, and comparable accelerator hardware), tracking how power density, cooling, and interconnect requirements are evolving generation over generation

Define how each rack platform's requirements map onto GIGA BASE, Giga's modular white space product, including power distribution, containment, cable pathways, and structural interfaces

Identify where emerging rack requirements exceed the capabilities of current GIGA BASE modular products, and translate those gaps into clear, engineering-backed requirements for the product development team

Own and maintain Basis of Design (BoD) documents and rack layout templates for each AI/ML rack platform in Giga's pipeline

Keep templates current as new accelerator generations, rack form factors, and customer requirements come online

Use these templates as the working basis for customer-facing layout conversations, so every engagement starts from a Giga-optimized design rather than a blank sheet

Coordinate directly with customers to translate their AI/ML deployment requirements into rack layouts that are optimized around GIGA BASE modular products

Collaborate with colocation partners, internal teams (mechanical, electrical, structural, fire), and technology partners (network, compute, carrier) to align white space design with rack-level requirements

Lead project coordination meetings to align on scope, timelines, and critical design updates

Maintain a running view of where rack technology is headed (power density, liquid cooling, busway/PDU requirements, interconnect topologies) and flag implications for the GIGA BASE roadmap before they become deployment blockers

Partner with product development on design reviews for new or modified GIGA BASE components driven by rack requirement changes

Represent white space and rack layout considerations in internal product planning discussions

Travel to new and existing data centers to conduct on-site design validation, commissioning, and engineering analysis

Act as subject matter expert for white space and rack systems, validating integration with facility operations and infrastructure

Provide engineering support during live events and incident investigations to ensure rapid resolution and operational continuity

Capture and share all documentation with operations and field engineering teams

Develop and evolve data center white space and rack layout standards, policies, procedures, and commissioning protocols

Research and evaluate new AI/ML rack designs, materials, and construction methods, and assess their fit with GIGA BASE

Create and validate digital models of data center white space to support design integrity, capacity planning, and scalability analysis

Mentor junior engineers and lead knowledge-sharing initiatives on white space and rack layout design

Experience with hyperscale, colocation, or AI-focused data center deployments

Experience designing for high-density, high-power compute environments (GPU clusters, AI accelerators)

Familiarity with network infrastructure design and data center network architectures

Experience with BIM, Revit, or advanced CAD modeling for data center infrastructure

Experience with data center commissioning, FAT/SAT, and operational handoff

Knowledge of ASHRAE thermal guidelines, power efficiency standards, and data center best practices

Experience mentoring and developing junior engineers

We value people who take ownership, raise risks early, communicate directly, and follow through. Incomplete information is part of the job. Make the best decision you can, document it, and adjust as the facts change. Move quickly on reversible decisions and take more care when security, safety, financial, employee, or customer risk is involved.
