Role Scope
Own fire protection engineering across the portfolio: suppression, detection, and life safety from reference design through AHJ approval.
Set the fire protection reference design for liquid-cooled data halls and evolve it with code and AHJ feedback.
Run AHJ strategy across jurisdictions so approvals land ahead of the schedule that needs them.
Review fire protection designs and calculations as the authority the AHJ trusts.
Responsibilities
- Lead fire protection engineering for gigawatt-scale data center builds.
- Engineer data centers that go up in months, not years, ensuring rework is avoided by catching problems on paper.
- Design once and build many times, incorporating lessons from each site into the reference design on the path to 50GW+.
- Manage technical execution across drawings, field questions, and engineering calls for multiple concurrent gigawatt sites.
Requirements
- Led fire protection engineering for industrial or mission critical facilities.
- Gotten nonstandard designs approved through performance-based paths.
- Deep knowledge of NFPA 13, 72, 75, and 855 at the section level.
- AHJs take your calls and your word.
Nice-to-Haves
- FPE PE license.
- Experience with clean agent and water mist systems.
- Lithium-ion storage protection.
- Data center fire protection expertise.
