Job Title: Lead Architect Data Center Pre-Sales & Fulfillment
Role Summary
A highly technical and cross-functional role focused on designing and delivering infrastructure solutions within data center environments. The Lead Architect will manage both pre-sales solution development and the execution of infrastructure projects, ensuring client requirements are met through cost-effective, compliant, and scalable solutions. The position involves close collaboration with sales teams, operations, engineering, and project management units to bring customer deployments from concept to reality.
Core Responsibilities
Solution Architecture & Pre-Sales Engagement
- Develop infrastructure designs using existing data center assets such as power, cooling, space, structured cabling, and network services.
- Interpret and validate technical documents including MEP layouts, power load sheets, and riser diagrams to ensure capacity alignment.
- Identify gaps in infrastructure (e.g., high-density compute or alternative cooling methods) and coordinate escalation to engineering and design teams for potential integration.
- Ensure proposed solutions are technically viable, cost-efficient, and executable by delivery teams.
Project Coordination & Implementation Oversight
- Serve as the single point of coordination across internal departments for infrastructure build-outs.
- Manage delivery from solution finalization through implementation, including documentation, resource allocation, and service activation.
- Oversee on-site activities when required, conducting walkthroughs and validating system installations.
Capacity Management & Engineering Collaboration
- Monitor infrastructure capacity (power, space, cooling) across sites to support current and future project planning.
- Work closely with engineering and operations to ensure accurate provisioning and planning for expansions.
- Provide input into infrastructure scaling strategies based on project demand and site limitations.
Stakeholder Engagement & Communication
- Collaborate with sales and product teams to support solution scoping during pre-sales.
- Facilitate knowledge transfer and post-deployment handoffs to operations and customer support teams.
- Act as a technical liaison in internal discussions and customer-facing engagements.
Governance, Documentation & Incident Support
- Participate in the technical incident management rotation for provisioning and deployment-related issues.
- Maintain detailed project records including capacity trackers, BOMs, implementation logs, and audit-ready documentation.
- Ensure all solution and fulfillment artifacts meet internal standards and compliance requirements.
Ideal Qualifications
Education & Certification
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering.
- Active engineering license (Philippines) required.
- Relevant certifications preferred: CDCP, CDCS, or similar credentials in data center infrastructure or operations.
Experience & Technical Expertise
- 3-5 years of experience in data center infrastructure, with hands-on exposure to project execution, commissioning, or design review.
- Proficiency with technical drawing tools (AutoCAD, Revit, BIM) and the ability to analyze SLAs, schematics, and equipment layouts.
- In-depth knowledge of core systems: power (UPS, STS, PDUs), cooling systems (DX, chilled water), and structured cabling.
- Familiarity with deployment of IT and network hardware, including patching and cross-connects.
- Understanding of data center compliance standards such as TIA-942, ISO QMS, and Uptime frameworks.
- Financial skills related to cost modeling, budgeting, and risk mitigation for infrastructure projects.
- Experience coordinating with vendors and managing third-party service delivery.
