Data Center Architect

Must Haves: Experience architecting or designing the delivery of power to racks and servers. Experience budgeting rack power. Experience architecting or designing a cooling solution for a rack. Experience working in a Data Center.

I need an architect that knows cooling to the rack and power consumption
Needs a refresh of liquid cooling to the racks now and they don t have the infrastructure

Overview:
While knowledge of power and cooling of the building itself is useful, we are looking more for someone who can optimize how we power and cool our infrastructure in the racks in the data center. For example, what are best methods and designs for providing power and/or cooling to the rack. The candidate needs to be self-motivated, driven and able to communicate well both verbally and through PPT. This person does not need to be an operations-centric person. This role is for someone to assess our current state, look forward, and then take the real-time data we have to make modifications for future designs.
Responsibilities:
o Work with infrastructure engineers to develop power standards (input power, power per rack, etc.) for our rack in our production data centers
o Evaluate power usage across our data centers for ways to optimize usage and/or reduce costs
o Work with infrastructure engineers and Facilities to provide optimized cooling (inlet temperature, containment temperature, etc.) to support the infrastructure in the racks
o As infrastructure power increases, evaluate new power and cooling technologies to enable more infrastructure capacity
o Develop a roadmap to align with our infrastructure deployment plans with changes in technology and new product releases
o Evaluate real time data to revise power/cooling recommendations and make updates
Requirements:
o Experience architecting or designing the delivery of power to racks and servers
o Experience budgeting rack power
o Experience architecting or designing a cooling solution for a rack
o Experience working in a Data Center
o Experience with liquid cooling is a plus
