Quantum Data Center Systems Architect

Role Overview

We seek a senior mechanical infrastructure engineer to lead the co-development of safe, cost-effective, and efficient architectures for complex quantum datacenters.

Responsibilities

• Own the physical realization of these systems as well — floor space and equipment layout, structural and mass-loading constraints, below-grade and site considerations, and the footprint efficiency needed to scale across a campus.
• Navigate complex trade spaces in co-design to drive decisions across datacenter infrastructure, equipment design, initial build, commissioning, testing, monitoring, and operations.
• Work with both internal and external teams throughout the design, build, and operating phases of these data centers.
• Hands-on experience with high-reliability critical infrastructure including chilled water plants and distribution, redundant power systems, and specialized environmental controls in datacenter, manufacturing, or research environments is a must.

Requirements

• Preferred Education: Master's Degree Required
• Technical and Professional Expertise: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Hands-on experience with high-reliability critical infrastructure including chilled water plants and distribution, redundant power systems, and specialized environmental controls in datacenter, manufacturing, or research environments.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with engineering, vendor, and construction teams to build and commission complex systems.

Preferred Technical and Professional Experience

• Advanced degree in mechanical engineering, thermal sciences, fluid mechanics, systems engineering, or a related discipline.
• Professional Engineer license, Chartered Engineer status, or comparable professional certification.
• Experience standing up a new or unusual facility type, or standardizing a one-off build into a repeatable, scalable design.
• Background in high-density or high-power-density data centers, or facilities with demanding/unusual cooling or power requirements.
• Experience with cryogenic or quantum systems is beneficial but not required.
