JOB SUMMARY

Join us in a newly created role where you’ll help shape the next generation of modular data center solutions. As Product Manager – Modular Data Centers & Equipment, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end development and integration of critical third-party systems that power our modular data center platform.

Working at the intersection of engineering, procurement, and regional business leadership, you’ll play a pivotal role in bringing innovative solutions to life—ensuring power and thermal train components meet our technical standards, cost objectives, and delivery commitments.

This is an opportunity to make a real impact from the very beginning. You’ll build and develop strategic supplier partnerships, engage suppliers early in the reference design and quotation process, and drive design alignment from the earliest stages of project development. By connecting the right partners, technologies, and internal teams, you’ll help turn complex requirements into scalable, high-performing modular data center solutions.

ROLE AND RESPONSABILITIES

  • Collaborate with Product Engineering, Procurement, and Third-Party Vendors to define preferred options and requirements for modular data center offerings.
  • Evaluate system and component level configurations to meet project-specific requirements.
  • Collate specifications and requirements in support of RFI and RFQ processes.
  • Identify, evaluate, and qualify new suppliers for critical third-party systems.
  • Drive early-stage supplier engagement at the quotation and design phase.
  • Work with Procurement to develop partnership plans with selected suppliers.
  • Distribute RFIs covering capability, capacity, availability, delivery logistics, certifications, and lead-time mitigation strategies.
  • Review supplier findings with engineering teams and procurement to gather feedback and align decisions.
  • Publish an offering plan and supporting business case for modular data center product lines.
  • Collaborate with selected partners to develop design development drawing sets to company standards.
  • Manage ongoing lessons learned, process improvements, cost estimates, cost actuals, and cost efficiency tracking.

QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.
  • Advanced degree (MBA or M.Eng.) is an asset.
  • 5+ years of progressive experience in engineering, supplier development, or product management within the data center, power, thermal or prefabricated building sectors.
  • Demonstrated experience managing third-party design and supply relationships from concept through delivery.
  • Proven track record working across cross-functional teams including engineering, procurement, and executive stakeholders.
  • Experience with make-versus-buy analysis, RFI/RFQ processes, and engineering drawing review.
  • Familiarity with modular or prefabricated infrastructure design principles is strongly preferred.
  • Strong technical acumen with the ability to engage credibly with engineering teams and suppliers.
  • Ability to work independently and navigate ambiguity in a new role.
  • Commercial awareness with the ability to balance technical requirements against cost and schedule.
  • Proficiency in document control and drawing management processes.
