Solutions Architect - MEP

Overview

Senior MEP / Datacenter Infrastructure Engineer on the ANZ Solutions Architecture team, planning, designing and deploying AI/HPC data center infrastructure with a focus on power, cooling, and telemetry/control systems.

What you'll do

• Lead end-to-end planning and deployment of AI/HPC data centers, from concept and reference design through construction, commissioning, and go-live, aligned with NVIDIA reference architectures and operational requirements.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to understand NVIDIA's guidance for data center infrastructure (DSX), including power distribution, liquid/air cooling, controls and monitoring, and network/cabling architecture, and translate it into robust, scalable customer designs.
• Review and evaluate customer and partner design packages (architectural, electrical, mechanical, controls), ensuring consistency with NVIDIA reference architectures, industry standards, and regulatory requirements, and recommend improvements to performance, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
• Develop and implement comprehensive pre-deployment audit plans to assess the readiness, reliability, and efficiency of data center infrastructure before AI/HPC cluster deployment, identifying risks and mitigation actions early.
• Oversee construction, integration, and bring-up activities, working closely with contractors, OEMs, service providers, and customers to resolve infrastructure issues and ensure on-time, high-quality delivery.
• Establish and drive quality assurance and commissioning processes for power systems, liquid/air cooling systems, rack/server power and cooling integration, telemetry, and control systems, validating functionality and performance against design specifications and benchmarks.
• Act as the key liaison and domain expert for customers and partners on all data center infrastructure topics, facilitating technical discussions and ensuring alignment from planning through steady-state operations.
• Develop and sustain a strong ecosystem of design firms, contractors, integrators, and service providers to enable rapid, reliable deployment of NVIDIA solutions globally.
• Mentor and guide Infra SA team members and partner engineering teams, sharing best practices in MEP design, data center operations, and deployment methodologies.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives across infrastructure design and processes to increase reliability, resilience, efficiency, and automation in AI/HPC data centers.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 5+ years of overall experience in enterprise and/or hyperscale data centers with a focus on MEP design, construction, and deployment for high-density AI/HPC or mission-critical environments.
• Proven experience in data center engineering, operations, or infrastructure management roles, with responsibility for large-scale deployments and cross-functional coordination.
• Strong technical knowledge of data center systems, including power distribution (UPS, switchgear, PDUs, rack power), liquid/air cooling (chillers, CDU, CRAH/CRAC, direct-to-chip or immersion), rack/server mechanical and power integration, and structured cabling for high-density deployments.
• Demonstrated technical and project leadership in fluid, rapidly changing environments, with the ability to drive complex programs from design through commissioning and hand-off.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with keen attention to detail and a strong commitment to quality and operational excellence.
• Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage expertly with customers, partners, contractors, and internal engineering teams and lead productive technical discussions.
• Strong organization and time-management capabilities, able to plan, schedule, and coordinate multiple infrastructure projects to meet or exceed agreed timelines.
• Willingness to travel up to customer sites, partner facilities, and NVIDIA data center locations as required.

Nice to have

• An advanced degree, equivalent experience, or relevant certifications (in place of or in addition to the Bachelor's degree).
• Experience with data center operations processes, safety practices, and security measures in enterprise or hyperscale environments.
• Solid understanding of the full data center infrastructure stack, from building shell and core through power, cooling, racks, cabling, and monitoring/controls for AI/HPC platforms.
• Background working closely with server and rack manufacturers, integrators, and colocation providers on high-density deployments.
• Outstanding interpersonal skills, with a track record of building long-term relationships with customers, partners, and internal stakeholders and serving as a trusted technical advisor.

Details

• Location: Australia, Remote.
• Travel: up to customer sites, partner facilities, and NVIDIA data center locations as required.
