Job Description & How to Apply Below
* This role will focus on developing scalable offsite-manufactured and prefabricated infrastructure platforms that accelerate deployment, improve quality, reduce construction risk, and support OCI's rapidly growing cloud and AI capacity demands. You will serve as a senior technical leader and subject matter expert, partnering across design engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, construction, commissioning, and operations organizations to define the future of modular data center delivery.
This is a highly visible individual contributor role with broad influence on OCI's infrastructure roadmap, deployment strategy, and next-generation data center platforms.
What You'll Do
Modular Infrastructure Strategy & Engineering
+ Develop and drive OCI's modular infrastructure strategy for electrical, mechanical, controls, and utility systems.
+ Establish standardized modular design approaches that improve scalability, repeatability, and deployment speed.
+ Evaluate opportunities for prefabrication and offsite manufacturing across data center infrastructure systems.
+ Lead technical decision-making for modular architecture, interfaces, and deployment methodologies.
Design & Integration
+ Define engineering requirements and design standards for modular electrical rooms, e-houses, cooling plants, pump skids, power distribution systems, utility modules, and integrated infrastructure packages.
+ Ensure seamless integration of modular systems into OCI's data center design standards and operational requirements.
+ Review engineering designs, specifications, manufacturing drawings, and technical submittals.
+ Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, structural, controls, and network engineering teams to optimize modular solutions.
Manufacturing & Supply Chain
+ Partner with manufacturers, fabricators, and strategic suppliers to develop scalable modular products and solutions.
+ Evaluate manufacturing capabilities, production processes, and quality control programs.
+ Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), product validation, and manufacturing readiness reviews.
+ Drive continuous improvement initiatives with suppliers to improve quality, cost, and deployment efficiency.
Deployment & Commissioning
+ Support transportation, site integration, installation, startup, and commissioning of modular infrastructure systems.
+ Identify and mitigate technical risks associated with modular deployment strategies.
+ Collaborate with construction and commissioning teams to improve field execution and deployment consistency.
+ Capture lessons learned and implement improvements across future deployments.
Innovation & Technical Leadership
+ Research emerging technologies and modular construction methodologies.
+ Influence OCI's long-term infrastructure roadmap through innovative engineering solutions.
+ Serve as a technical advisor for large-scale infrastructure programs and strategic initiatives.
+ Mentor engineers and contribute to the development of engineering best practices across OCI.
** Responsibilities*
* Minimum Qualifications
+ Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, or related technical field.
+ 10+ years of experience in data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial infrastructure, manufacturing, modular construction, or large-scale capital projects.
+ Experience designing or deploying prefabricated and modular infrastructure systems.
+ Strong understanding of electrical distribution systems, mechanical systems, cooling infrastructure, controls, or utility systems.
+ Experience working with manufacturing partners, fabricators, EPC firms, and commissioning teams.
+ Demonstrated ability to lead complex technical initiatives through influence and expertise.
Preferred Qualifications
+ Experience supporting hyperscale cloud or AI data center infrastructure.
+ Knowledge of modular electrical substations, power skids, e-houses, cooling skids, central utility plants, or integrated infrastructure modules.
+
Experience with factory-built infrastructure solutions and offsite manufacturing processes.
+ Familiarity with BIM, Revit, AutoCAD, digital engineering, and design-for-manufacturing methodologies.
+ Experience supporting Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Integrated Systems Testing (IST), and commissioning programs.
+ Understanding of supply chain strategy, manufacturing scale-up, and global deployment models.
+ Experience supporting high-density AI/HPC infrastructure and advanced cooling technologies.
