Our Hybrid Cloud Services (HCS) team, within the Solutions and Services Group (SSG), is looking for a Modular Data Center Principal Consultant to lead the design and implementation of cutting-edge infrastructure solutions.
The Opportunity
You will transform complex customer and technical challenges into efficient, future-ready modular data center designs, with a focus on:
- Power architecture & redundancy (N, N+1, 2N designs)
- Advanced cooling technologies, including liquid, hybrid, and DX systems
- AI/HPC environments, supporting high-performance workloads
As a key technical interface, you will bridge customer requirements with engineering best practices, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver cost-effective, scalable, and business-aligned solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Technology & Engineering
- Translate IT workloads and power consumption data into scalable data center facility designs
- Engineer end-to-end modular solutions (containerized, skid-based, prefabricated) for:
