About the role

Lead Fire Protection Engineering for R&D

  • Lead fire protection engineering: detection, suppression, and life safety for modular data centers and BTM plants.
  • Own the fire protection reference design: systems selected, coded, and standardized across novel occupancies.
  • Drive AHJ strategy: approaches that get first-of-a-kind designs approved without redesign.
  • Set the technical bar and grow the discipline as the portfolio scales.

Requirements

  • Led fire protection engineering for industrial, mission-critical, or energy facilities.
  • Gotten unusual designs through AHJs by engineering, not arguing.
  • Deep knowledge of codes: NFPA 13, 72, 75, 855, and others.
  • Evaluated suppression trade-offs for high-value electronics and energy systems.
  • Built fire protection standards others design to.

Nice-to-Haves

  • PE in fire protection.
  • Performance-based design.
  • BESS fire protection.
  • Liquid-cooled environment protection.
