About the role

  • Together AI is building its infrastructure footprint at scale, and this role is central to making that happen. As an Infrastructure Design Engineer, you will own the design, planning, and technical execution of whitespace environments (where servers, storage, and network equipment are deployed) across our AI data center portfolio. You are the in-house
  • expert who ensures that rack layouts, power distribution, cooling strategy, structured cabling, and physical infrastructure design are all built to support the density, redundancy, network and reliability requirements of large-scale AI GPU clusters.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to integrate power and cooling infrastructure into whitespace environments
  • Collaborate with Network Engineering to define and validate physical layer requirements (structured cabling, pathway planning, port density) for high-speed AI cluster interconnects, ensuring design compatibility with both physical and logical network architectures.
  • Advise Data Center build teams/ contractors to ensure data center build out matches design and architecture specifications. Provide direction to optimize performance, scalability and cost-effectiveness
  • Develop and maintain CAD/BIM drawings, schematics, capacity planning models, and technical documentation to support site design, construction, operations, and audits of data center white space
  • Own capacity planning within the white space through modeling that incorporates growth, utilization, and infrastructure scaling
  • Validate electrical and mechanical load distribution across whitespace fit-outs, including review of striping plans and upstream load balancing under normal and failover conditions.
  • Partner with Infrastructure Strategy and Operations by providing design review and technical guidance during the white space fit-out phase.
  • Drive continuous improvement in design standards, build processes, and quality assurance, including identifying opportunities to improve infrastructure reliability, reduce time-to-rack, and apply new technologies such as liquid cooling and high-density power architectures.
  • Ensure all designs comply with applicable standards including TIA-942, Uptime Institute Tier guidelines, ASHRAE thermal recommendations, and relevant local codes and safety regulations.
  • signing our own data center leases, building large-scale clusters, and expanding toward a global owned-infrastructure presence.

Requirements

  • Proficiency with CAD/BIM tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, or equivalent
  • ability to produce and review technical drawings, schematics, and capacity models
  • Working knowledge of industry standards including TIA-942, Uptime Institute Tier classifications, ASHRAE thermal guidelines, and ANSI/BICSI
  • Willingness to travel to data center sites as required for technical due diligence, design inspections, and final white space deployment sign-off
  • This is a technical role on a small, high-accountability team where your judgment directly shapes our ability to bring capacity online on time and to spec.

Nice to have

  • Familiarity with DCIM platforms, telemetry and monitoring systems, and infrastructure-as-code tooling for capacity and utilization tracking
