Data Center Engineer – Build the Future of High-Performance Infrastructure
Irving, TX (100% onsite)
Up to $235K base + bonus + equity (OTE ~$330K-$350K+)
Why This Role Stands Out
This isn’t just another architecture role – it’s an opportunity to shape next-generation data center strategy at a globally recognized leader in semiconductor innovation.
You’ll sit at the forefront of infrastructure evolution, designing and scaling environments that power cutting-edge engineering, manufacturing, and high-performance workloads. With strong executive visibility and influence, your decisions won’t just support the business – they’ll define its future.
What You’ll Own
As the Data Center Architect, you’ll be the driving force behind designing and modernizing mission-critical environments across multiple sites. This is a high-impact role blending deep technical expertise with strategic vision.
Design & Architecture Leadership
- Architect large-scale, high-availability data center environments (compute, storage, networking, power, cooling)
- Define scalable, future-ready infrastructure aligned to aggressive growth plans
- Standardize designs across sites (rack layouts, deployments, and infrastructure components)
Next-Gen Networking (Arista Focus)
- Lead architecture for Arista-based data center fabrics in a multi-vendor ecosystem
- Utilize Arista CloudVision (CVP) for centralized management, visibility, and life-cycle operations
- Drive automation and consistency using AVD (Arista Validated Designs)
- Balance innovation with flexibility – avoiding vendor lock-in while maximizing performance
Capacity & Growth Strategy
- Own capacity planning and forecasting across multiple data centers
- Anticipate demand from engineering and manufacturing workloads
- Lead expansions and upgrades proactively – before they become constraints
What Makes You a Fit
You’re not just an architect – you’re a builder and strategist who thrives in complex, high-stakes environments.
- Proven experience designing enterprise or large-scale data centers
- Strong expertise across networking, compute, storage, and facility infrastructure
- Background in semiconductor, advanced manufacturing, or similar high-precision environments (strongly preferred)
- Experience supporting high-performance or engineering-driven workloads
- Track record of leading multiple data center builds or major expansions (3+)
- Familiarity with hyperscale or cloud-inspired architectures (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Ability to operate both hands-on and strategic, with strong stakeholder influence
What You’ll Gain
- Direct impact on infrastructure strategy at a global technology leader
- The opportunity to bring modern, hyperscale design thinking into a highly complex environment
- Executive-level visibility and influence
- Top-tier compensation with significant upside
Bottom Line
If you’re looking to move beyond “keeping the lights on” and instead architect the future of high-performance infrastructure, this is the role that puts you in the driver’s seat.
