About the role
- This is an owner's engineer role - you are the technical authority, not a consultant.
Responsibilities
- Own the civil, structural, and architectural reference design standards for Anthropic's data center portfolio, establishing repeatable design elements deployable across multiple sites and jurisdictions
- Lead front-end test fits and site feasibility studies, evaluating structural approaches, site constraints, utility interfaces, and code compliance to inform site selection and design direction
- Review and approve CSA deliverables from design-build partners and AE firms at each design stage (SD, DD, CD, IFC), including drawings, structural calculations, specifications, and geotechnical reports
- Integrate CSA design with mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and IT infrastructure teams to produce coordinated designs that support high-density AI compute and direct liquid-cooling systems
- Drive site and campus planning to maximize compute density, optimize construction phasing, and align physical layout with IT and operational requirements
- Partner with the construction and delivery team to provide technical oversight during construction, resolve field issues, and support commissioning activities
- Evaluate and develop relationships with design partners, structural engineering subconsultants, and prefabrication / modular vendors
- Establish and maintain facility support area standards - logistics staging, loading, maintenance access, and operational support spaces - scaled for hyperscale deployments
- Identify modular and prefabricated construction opportunities that reduce schedule, cost, and design risk across the project pipeline
- Manage review cycles and coordinate across internal and external stakeholders to resolve design conflicts and keep projects moving on aggressive timelines
Requirements
- Proficiency with applicable building codes and standards including IBC, IFC, ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC, FM Global, and local jurisdictional requirements across multiple geographies
- Experience with high-density compute environments, including structural and architectural accommodation of direct liquid-cooling systems, overhead busway, and dense rack deployments
- Experience coordinating across MEP disciplines and IT infrastructure teams in a fast-paced, multi-project environment
- Experience with prefabricated and modular construction strategies for data center applications
