Working closely with product engineering, lab operations, and facilities teams, this role drives the full lifecycle of MEP infrastructure that supports NVIDIA's showcase-ready lab environments—from early-stage planning and design through construction, commissioning, and ongoing operations. Responsibilities span a broad technical scope and require both deep domain expertise and strong multi-functional collaboration. Day-to-day work includes:

→
Owning the design, specification, and implementation of datacenter-grade power and cooling infrastructure for lab environments, including UPS systems, PDUs, switchgear, liquid cooling distribution systems, and air conditioning
→
Planning and implementing showcase-ready racks and infrastructure that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing
→
Leading telemetry and control system architecture for lab facilities, including sensor networks, DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management) platforms, BMS (Building Management Systems), and real-time environmental monitoring
→
Evaluating and scaling infrastructure to support constantly evolving power density and thermal load requirements driven by next-generation computing platforms
→
Collaborating with product and thermal engineering teams to translate system-level requirements into infrastructure designs that can be validated and iterated in the lab
→
Provide guidance to contractors and vendors throughout planning, procurement, and construction phases
→
Implement standardized commissioning processes for lab environments
