Staff Infrastructure Design Engineer

The Infrastructure Design Engineer is responsible for planning, designing, and implementing data center whitespace environments — the operational computing areas where servers, storage, and network equipment are deployed. This role ensures whitespace layout, power distribution, cooling strategy, and cabling infrastructure support high availability, scalability, and operational efficiency. The engineer partners with Facilities, Electrical and Mechanical teams, and Cloud Infrastructure Architects to ensure whitespace designs align with current and future cloud workload requirements.

Design whitespace layouts including rack placement, aisle configuration, equipment density, and airflow strategy

Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to integrate power distribution and cooling infrastructure into whitespace environments

Optimize whitespace designs for capacity, scalability, redundancy, airflow performance, and energy efficiency

Coordinate with network and cloud teams to ensure structured cabling, connectivity, and fiber management meet performance requirements

Validate redundancy strategies (N+1, 2N) and ensure designs align with SLA requirements

Ensure whitespace designs comply with industry standards including TIA-942, Uptime Institute guidelines, ASHRAE recommendations, and applicable codes
