JOB DESCRIPTION

We’re looking for a skilled Platform Architect (m/f/d) to lead the design and development of data center’s physical infrastructure at our location in Hamburg, Germany. In this role, you’ll be responsible for creating the overall blueprint that brings together hardware systems, energy distribution networks, cooling solutions, and thermal management strategies. Your role will be key to keeping the data center running smoothly, efficiently, and sustainably by optimizing energy use and building on scalable infrastructure.

BACKGROUND & SKILLS

Are you a seasoned system architect with a passion for data center innovation? Drive the future of data center infrastructure by transforming complex technical requirements into customer-focused solutions. In this role, you will plan, optimize, and execute data center projects, ensuring peak performance and continuous innovation in both new and retrofit environments.

Key Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Plant Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (Thermal focus), Energy Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
• 8+ years of system architecture experience, ideally in data center thermal management (air and liquid-cooled systems).
• Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, or SolidWorks and understanding of simulation environments.
• Familiarity with current data center thermal management trends and large-scale data center experience a plus.
• Excellent communication skills, experience with Matrix

If you’re a technical expert with system-level thinking and a customer-centric approach, apply now!

Main responsibilities are:

• Thermal Load System Architecture
• Lead the design or retrofit of complete data center infrastructures, defining high-level system architecture from the transformer to the server. This includes reimagining energy supply systems, thermal management, and platform integration for both new builds and existing facility upgrades.
• Design and define complete thermal system architectures for both air- and liquid-cooled data centers.
• Develop full system P&IDs, including temperature levels, flow rates, and piping dimensions.

• Specify system-level requirements for simulation and performance modeling teams.

  1. System Design & Illustration

• Create clear, detailed system diagrams and technical illustrations to communicate infrastructure concepts.

• Support internal and external stakeholders with visual documentation of proposed solutions.

3.Customer Collaboration

• Act as a technical liaison between customers and internal product teams.
• Understand customer needs and translate them into tailored, high-efficiency system designs.

4.Innovation & IP Development

• Drive innovation in thermal and energy system design with a focus on sustainability and performance.
• Collaborate with the IP team to document and protect novel solutions through patents.
