[Hiring] AI Infrastructure Datacenter Design Technical Program Manager @Astreya

Role Description

The AI Infrastructure Datacenter Design TPM Level 3 leads complex, multi-workstream AI data hall design programs from planning through deployment readiness. This senior role owns the delivery system around data hall design teams—setting execution cadence, managing critical dependencies, resolving blockers, and ensuring the timely release of complete design packages for customer and deployment use.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Agile program execution across multiple data hall design workstreams, including sprint planning, roadmap planning, backlog prioritization, story grooming, retrospectives, and delivery reporting.
• Partner with data hall design leadership to define deliverables, acceptance criteria, release plans, and capacity commitments for draft layouts, final layouts, BOMs, patch matrices, rack elevations, cabling designs, power and cooling requirements, and implementation documentation.
• Own the integrated program plan and critical path across civil, electrical, space planning, construction, parts, inventory, hardware, vendors, colocation providers, physical security, networking, operations, and deployment teams.
• Proactively identify, drive, and escalate blockers involving facility readiness, power availability, cooling capacity, equipment lead times, inventory allocation, construction sequencing, security requirements, or vendor dependencies.
• Lead cross-functional technical reviews, design reviews, customer meetings, readiness reviews, and executive program updates.
• Manage scope changes and technical tradeoffs, clearly assessing effects on data hall capacity, design quality, material availability, budget, schedule, and deployment dates.
• Establish and maintain program governance through milestone plans, risk registers, dependency maps, decision logs, issue trackers, and success metrics.
• Ensure design teams receive timely and complete inputs needed to produce accurate, buildable designs.
• Review program-level quality and readiness of engineering deliverables before release to downstream deployment and operations teams.
• Lead small TPM teams or project workstreams; mentor junior TPMs and establish repeatable operating mechanisms.
• Drive post-deployment reviews, root-cause analysis, and process improvements that improve design throughput, predictability, and quality.

Scope & Complexity

• Leads a major data hall design program or several interconnected workstreams.
• Manages high-complexity dependencies across engineering, construction, facilities, supply chain, colocation, security, vendors, and customer stakeholders.
• Exercises independent judgment in prioritization, risk mitigation, escalation, and delivery tradeoffs.
• Serves as the primary program-management partner for data hall design leadership.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of TPM, program management, data center infrastructure, design engineering, construction delivery, or related technical experience.
• Advanced understanding of data center design and deployment dependencies, including layouts, racks, structured cabling, patching, power, cooling, facility construction, hardware, inventory, and colocation environments.
• Proven experience leading Agile technical programs with complex cross-functional dependencies and critical delivery dates.
• Demonstrated ability to unblock technical and operational issues, drive decisions, and communicate clearly with senior leadership and customers.
• Experience managing or mentoring TPMs, project coordinators, or cross-functional project teams.
• Strong skills in program planning, risk management, stakeholder alignment, technical documentation, and executive communication.
