The opportunity
OpenAI's Compute organization builds and operates the infrastructure that powers frontier AI training and inference. Our data center engineering teams develop the technical standards and infrastructure required to deploy compute at unprecedented scale across both self-built and partner-operated environments.
What you'll do
Manage design scope, deliverables, milestones, and dependencies from concept: development through detailed design and construction support.
Coordinate civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical,: controls, and physical network interfaces across data center buildings and campuses.
Translate owner and hardware requirements into coordinated design criteria,: working with discipline leads to resolve gaps and competing requirements.
Lead multidisciplinary design reviews; track comments, decisions, technical: risks, and actions through resolution before design release.
Evaluate design changes with engineering and delivery partners, making: impacts on reliability, safety, cost, schedule, and maintainability clear.
Coordinate external architects, engineering consultants, developers, and: equipment suppliers to maintain design quality and meet agreed deliverables.
What they're looking for
- Partner with construction and commissioning teams on constructability,: sequencing, RFIs, submittals, field issues, and design changes.
- Maintain design documentation and handoff requirements, and incorporate field: and operational lessons into reusable standards and reference designs.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, architecture, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience managing multidisciplinary design for data centers,: mission-critical facilities, or comparable complex infrastructure.
