[Hiring] Director of Facilities Engineering @Ez Blockchain

Role Description

The Director of Facilities Engineering is responsible for the engineering strategy, design standards, reliability, and lifecycle management of mission-critical infrastructure supporting AI and high-performance computing (HPC) data centers.

This role oversees multidisciplinary engineering teams and ensures highly available, scalable, and energy-efficient facilities that support next-generation AI and HPC environments. This position requires critical thinking and adaptation to a fast-paced, always-changing, and evolving AI data center space.

AI Factories are a new type of data center that requires a new, flexible approach but with a conservative engineering view. We expect the ideal candidate to be open-minded and not afraid to experiment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of engineering experience in mission-critical facilities, data centers, industrial, or power infrastructure.
• 7+ years leading multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong expertise in electrical and mechanical systems supporting high-availability environments.
• Experience with hyperscale, AI, or HPC data center infrastructure.
• Knowledge of engineering design, commissioning, and reliability engineering practices.

Requirements

• Create and lead the portfolio-wide facilities engineering program for greenfield campuses, powered-shell projects, modular deployments, expansions, and selected retrofit opportunities.
• Develop a repeatable campus architecture and set of design standards that can be adapted intelligently to different utility systems, climates, site constraints, deployment schedules, and customer requirements.
• Serve as the senior technical owner from site screening and diligence through design, construction, commissioning, turnover, and initial operating readiness.
• Build the internal engineering capability and external partner network required to move multiple projects forward in parallel without compromising reliability, safety, or capital discipline.
• Provide strategic direction and leadership for the facilities operations of multiple AI Factories (data centers), ensuring 24/7 uptime and operational excellence for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.
• Develop and execute the facilities engineering strategy for AI data centers distributed across multiple campuses across the country.
• Plan and execute standardized infrastructure for new data center buildouts, colocation expansions, and data center expansions, ensuring seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.
• Build and lead electrical, mechanical, controls, and reliability engineering teams.
• Establish engineering standards, technical specifications, and design guidelines across multiple facilities to meet the constantly evolving AI data center for white space demand.
• Oversee the engineering lifecycle of critical infrastructure, including electrical distribution, UPS, generators, cooling systems, BMS, EPMS, DCIM, and fire protection systems.
• Design and optimize infrastructure for high-density GPU and liquid-cooled AI environments using the newest NVIDIA and AMD chip systems.
• Drive reliability engineering, predictive maintenance, root cause analysis, and asset lifecycle management across a portfolio of new deployments.
• Provide technical oversight for new construction, expansion, commissioning, and modernization projects.
• Improve energy efficiency through initiatives that optimize PUE, WUE, and sustainability.
• Ensure compliance with applicable codes, standards, and engineering best practices.
• Manage engineering budgets, technical vendors, consultants, and capital improvement programs.
