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.
Job Responsibility:
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
Apply local building codes, safety regulations, and company design policies
Develop CAD/BIM drawings, schematics, and 3D models of whitespace environments
Create capacity planning models to forecast growth, utilization, and infrastructure scaling
Maintain technical documentation supporting operations, maintenance, and audit requirements
Support construction, installation, commissioning, and deployment activities for new data center environments
Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and site inspections
Provide technical guidance to internal teams, contractors, and external partners
Evaluate new technologies, modular designs, and industry best practices to improve performance and efficiency
Conduct post-occupancy evaluations to validate design outcomes and identify improvements
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Facilities Engineering, Data Center Engineering, or equivalent experience
5+ years of experience in data center design, preferably in cloud or hyperscale environments
Understanding of data center power distribution systems and UPS architectures
Understanding of cooling systems and HVAC infrastructure
Experience with structured cabling systems and network connectivity design
Experience with whitespace layout optimization and equipment density planning
Proficiency with CAD/BIM tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Visio, or equivalent platforms
Knowledge of industry standards including TIA-942, Uptime Institute, ASHRAE, and ANSI/BICSI
Ability to collaborate across engineering, infrastructure, and deployment teams
