At Nscale, our Data Center Design team plays a critical role in turning AI infrastructure requirements into buildable, scalable facilities across our global portfolio. We thrive on a culture of relentless innovation, ownership, and accountability, where every team member takes pride in their work and drives it with excellence and urgency. As an Nscaler, you'll build trust through openness and transparency, where everyone is inspired to do their best work.

If you join our team, you'll be contributing to building the technology that powers the future.

About the Role As Director, Data Hall Design, you will build and lead Nscale's data hall design practice, the specialist function responsible for the physical design of AI infrastructure inside the data hall. This includes GPU rack layouts, high-speed network and storage topology, structured cabling, fiber tray routing, patch matrices, rack-level power distribution, and bill of materials development. The role sits at the intersection of AI infrastructure architecture, physical data center design, construction delivery, and operations.

You will translate complex GPU, networking, storage, power, and cooling requirements into precise, buildable design packages that construction, installation, procurement, and operations teams can execute with clarity. This is a hands‑on technical leadership role  will establish standards, templates, and quality processes, and build a scalable team of data hall designers as Nscale's global portfolio grows.

What You'll be Doing

• Own data hall layout design across Nscale's AI data center portfolio, from early concept layouts through construction-ready drawing packages.
• Design rack layouts that optimize for GPU cluster topology, compute density, cooling strategy, power distribution, cable management, and operational access.
• Translate network architecture into physical design for spine-leaf, fat-tree, rail-optimized GPU fabric, Infini Band, Ethernet, storage, and management networks.
• Produce clear data hall design deliverables, including layout plans, rack elevations, cable management plans, fiber tray layouts, patch matrices, topology diagrams, power distribution plans, BOMs, and asset documentation.
• Design structured cabling systems for high-density AI environments, including fiber type, connector type, polarity, bend radius, slack management, labeling, color coding, and documentation standards.
• Integrate thermal and power requirements into data hall layouts, including hot/cold aisle containment, rear‑door heat exchangers, direct liquid cooling, immersion cooling, rack loads, power feeds, and cable pathway requirements.
• Develop accurate bills of materials for data hall equipment, cabling, hardware, accessories, and procurement packages, from early budget estimates through construction-ready packages.
• Establish DCIM and asset documentation standards covering rack positions,…
