The world’s top companies across every major industry trust Teradata to improve business performance, enrich customer experiences, and fully integrate data across the enterprise.

Define and lead system-level power architecture across global datacenter environments, including single- and three-phase systems, regional voltage/frequency variants, and enterprise redundancy models (N, N+1, 2N).

You will own the global power subsystem strategy — from architecture and regulatory compliance through manufacturing readiness and customer deployment — establishing the design philosophy and validation standards that govern how Teradata platforms operate worldwide.

Operating across power, thermal, compute, storage, networking, and firmware domains, you will ensure resilient, compliant, and high-density platform performance s is a highly visible technical leadership role requiring architectural authority, cross-functional influence, and executive-level communication.

While power architecture is primary, this is a broad system-level engineering role involving new component qualification, engineering change orders, factory support, automation development, and cross-functional platform integration. This is not a narrow component-level position; power expertise anchors broader platform ownership.

• Establish and govern system-level power architecture standards ensuring global compliance, resiliency, and manufacturability.
• Influence platform roadmaps through industry awareness and technical insight.
• Lead qualification of electrical and electromechanical components including power supplies, PDUs, breakers, and cabling.
• Approve engineering change orders (ECOs) and factory deviations affecting system performance.
• Influence high-density GPU and AI‑optimized configurations, including liquid and advanced air‑cooled systems.
• Provide technical leadership to manufacturing partners to resolve production and integration issues.
• Develop and maintain power characterization, load profiling, and validation automation scripts.
• Lead complex system-level debugging and root-cause analysis across hardware, firmware, OS, networking, and storage.
• Contribute to cross-domain platform design and supplier lifecycle evaluation.

Partner with product, hardware, and systems teams to scope, prototype, and product ionize platform enhancements.

Required Technical

Skills:

• Deep expertise in datacenter power architecture and high‑availability system design.
• Experience designing redundant power subsystems, breaker coordination, and protection strategies.
• Strong knowledge of rack-level PDUs, grounding schemes, and facility interfaces.
• Hands‑on power validation using analyzers, oscilloscopes, and current/voltage probes.
• Experience supporting EMC compliance (conducted emissions and immunity).
• Familiarity with global safety and regulatory standards (UL, CE, CB Scheme).
• Experience with thermal characterization across air and liquid‑cooled systems.
• Working knowledge of Linux and command‑line tools.
• Foundational experience with C, Bash, and/or Python for automation and diagnostics, with desire to expand system-level capability.
• Demonstrated ability to operate beyond domain expertise into architectural ownership.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent practical experience (Master’s preferred).
• 12–15+ years of experience in power subsystem architecture and validation.
• Experience supporting enterprise or datacenter-scale platforms.
• Experience working with global regulatory standards and manufacturing partners.
• Demonstrated leadership in cross‑functional engineering initiatives.

• Versatility to operate beyond a single specialty and engage in broader system-level engineering needs.
• Confidence…
