About the role
We are seeking a senior, hands-on Data Center Infrastructure Architect to develop and optimize the physical infrastructure required for large-scale AI deployments.
What they're looking for
- Significant experience designing or optimizing hyperscale data centers, large mission-critical facilities, or comparable infrastructure systems
- Broad knowledge of data center electrical and mechanical systems, including power distribution, backup power, thermal management, liquid cooling, heat rejection, controls, and monitoring
- Experience making system-level design decisions across multiple engineering disciplines
- Experience developing or applying simulation, optimization, digital-twin, or physics-based modeling techniques to physical infrastructure
- Strong understanding of data center efficiency and performance metrics, including PUE, WUE, utilization, capacity, reliability, and total cost of ownership
- Experience working with operational telemetry and translating real-world system behavior into design improvements
More about this role
OpenAI’s Industrial Compute team is building and productizing infrastructure capabilities that help organizations deploy and operate advanced AI systems at scale. The team works across AI hardware, systems engineering, physical infrastructure, and customer delivery to turn emerging technologies into reliable, repeatable infrastructure solutions.
Our work sits at the intersection of technical strategy, product development, engineering, and deployment. We partner closely with customers and internal engineering teams to solve complex infrastructure challenges spanning compute, power, cooling, controls, and facility efficiency.
We are seeking a senior, hands-on Data Center Infrastructure Architect to develop and optimize the physical infrastructure required for large-scale AI deployments.
This is a broad technical role spanning data center architecture, electrical and mechanical systems, high-density compute, controls, telemetry, and digital modeling. You will use simulation, operational data, and digital-twin approaches to evaluate infrastructure designs, identify system-level constraints, and improve efficiency, reliability, cost, and speed of deployment.
