[Hiring] Customer Systems Architect - Data Center Solutions @Celestica International LP

Role Description

To rapidly scale the deployment of modular data centers and supporting power systems, we must bridge the gap between custom site architectures and scalable factory-built product platforms. We are seeking a high-gravity, technically authoritative Customer Systems Architect to serve as the critical interface between our enterprise/hyperscale clients and our internal product development engines.

In this highly visible, customer-facing role, you will:

• Lead deep-dive technical discovery, capture complex customer requirements, and translate them into standardized design boundaries.
• Possess the engineering depth to "talk shop" with lead hyperscale infrastructure designers.
• Steer clients toward configure-to-order (CTO) solutions rather than costly, bespoke engineer-to-order (ETO) deviations.
• Act as the ultimate gatekeeper of our modular product platform's scalability and our customers' operational success.

Qualifications

• 8+ Years in a high-touch, technically demanding, customer-facing engineering role (e.g., Solutions Architect, Applications Engineer, Technical Sales Engineer) in the critical power, utility-scale renewables, or modular data center infrastructure sectors.
• Proven experience successfully negotiating complex engineering trade-offs with hyperscale (AWS, Microsoft, Meta, Google) or Tier III/IV colocation providers (Equinix, Digital Realty, etc.).
• Demonstrated history of converting customer site-specific single lines and mechanical plot plans into manufactured industrial products.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a highly related technical field.
• Master’s degree in an engineering discipline or Professional Engineer (PE) credential preferred.

Benefits

• Base Salary: $102K - $135K
• A comprehensive benefits package is offered in addition to the salary range.

Physical Demands

• Duties of this position are performed in a normal office environment.
• Duties may require extended periods of sitting and sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor or on numbers and other detailed data.
• Repetitive manual movements (e.g., data entry, using a computer mouse, using a calculator, etc.) are frequently required.
• Occasional travel may be required.
