COE-AI DataCenetr Design

Job Title: COE-AI DataCenetr Design

Location: Chennai, Noida and Bangalore.

Experience: 8years to 20 years.

The Role

The DC Design end-to-end technical design of data centers, translating capacity, resiliency, and performance requirements into robust, standards-compliant architectures. This role owns the definition of power and cooling topology, white space layout, structured cabling, and high-density/AI readiness, ensuring designs are scalable, energy-efficient, and future-proof.

Working across concept, detailed design, and commissioning phases, collaborates with MEP teams, OEMs, and construction partners to validate designs and ensure successful execution. The role also embeds sustainability, PUE optimization, and digital twin driven simulation into the design process.

The COE is accountable for adherence to global standards such as TIA-942 and Uptime Institute tiers, and for integrating monitoring and management systems (DCIM/BMS) into the design baseline.

Key Responsibilities:

• Understanding of colocation, enterprise, and hyperscale operating models.
• Proven experience with AI, HPC, and high-density data center environments.
• Define overall data center architecture including capacity targets, redundancy models, and high-density/AI readiness.
• Design end-to-end electrical and cooling systems covering UPS, generators, PDUs, CRAC/CRAH, chillers, and containment.
• Develop detailed white-space layouts with optimized rack density, airflow management, and thermal zoning.
• Create structured cabling and pathway designs including backbone, MMRs, cross-connects, and carrier integration.
• Ensure compliance with global standards such as TIA-942, Uptime Tier, and relevant safety and regulatory codes.
• Integrate DCIM, BMS, digital twin, and CFD analysis into the design for monitoring and optimization.
• Collaborate with OEMs and vendors to validate designs, equipment selections, and performance assumptions.
• Support build, testing, commissioning, and ORAT activities to ensure design intent is achieved in execution.
• Embed lifecycle, maintainability, and energy efficiency considerations into all design deliverables.

Qualifications & Experience

• Degree in Electrical/Mechanical Engineering.
• 10+ years in DC MEP and architecture design.
• Strong MEP engineering expertise; data center power & cooling topology knowledge.
• Familiarity with structured cabling standards, modular DCs, and AIready designs.
• Experience with DCIM/BMS, BIM/AutoCAD/Revit, and compliance frameworks.
• Vendor/OEM coordination (Schneider, Vertiv, JLL/CBRE)

Specifics:

• Deep hands-on design authority role.
• Acts as design authority with final accountability for architectural decisions.
• High involvement during commissioning and testing
• Strong stakeholder management across engineering, construction, operations, and client teams.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear executive-level narratives
