Responsibilities
THE ROLE
AMD is seeking a Data Center Technical Due Diligence & Assurance Engineer to assess and validate high-density data center infrastructure.
The role supports the infrastructure lifecycle from technical due diligence before capacity commitment through technical assurance, commissioning, and Ready for Service (RFS).
This is a technical engineering role involving engineering analysis, documentation review, onsite infrastructure validation, commissioning review, and troubleshooting across electrical, mechanical, cooling, energy, controls, reliability, and critical infrastructure systems.
THE PERSON
Successful candidates can analyze complex infrastructure systems, evaluate engineering evidence, identify technical risks and dependencies, and translate findings into clear recommendations.
The role requires the ability to review engineering documentation, investigate technical issues, validate field conditions, and collaborate effectively with specialists across electrical, mechanical, energy, controls, and data center infrastructure disciplines.
Candidates are not expected to have worked with every technology listed below. Relevant expertise from data centers, critical facilities, utilities, industrial infrastructure, energy systems, engineering consulting, or comparable environments may be applicable.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Perform desktop and onsite technical due diligence of proposed data center facilities.
- Review engineering drawings, specifications, equipment data, studies, test reports, and supporting technical documentation.
- Evaluate utility power, substations, MV/LV electrical distribution, transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, power distribution, and applicable behind-the-meter energy solutions.
- Assess cooling architecture, including chillers, pumps, cooling loops, direct liquid cooling, CDUs, manifolds, and heat-rejection systems.
- Evaluate infrastructure resiliency, redundancy, controls, connectivity, capacity, and operational readiness.
- Identify technical risks, design gaps, dependencies, and corrective actions.
- Validate active data center programs against agreed engineering and readiness requirements.
- Investigate infrastructure issues, analyze root causes, and develop or evaluate technical resolutions.
- Assess technical changes for potential effects on design, reliability, capacity, cost, schedule, and operational requirements.
- Review commissioning and integrated systems testing, including applicable L3, L4, L5, and RFS activities.
- Conduct onsite validation of power, cooling, controls, connectivity, and related critical infrastructure.
- Collaborate with internal engineering teams, data center providers, cloud service providers, equipment suppliers, and external engineering specialists.
- Document findings, risks, evidence, and recommendations clearly for technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
- PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
- Candidates should demonstrate relevant technical capability in several of the following areas:
- Data centers, critical facilities, electrical/mechanical systems, energy infrastructure, or engineering consulting.
- Data center electrical infrastructure such as substations, MV/LV distribution, transformers, switchgear, UPS systems, generators, and downstream power distribution.
- Mechanical and cooling infrastructure such as chillers, pumps, cooling loops, heat rejection, or liquid cooling.
- High-density infrastructure technologies such as DLC, CDUs, manifolds, BMS, and EPMS.
- Utility power and/or behind-the-meter technologies such as reciprocating engines, gas turbines, fuel cells, or comparable energy systems.
- Engineering drawings, technical specifications, equipment submittals, test procedures, and commissioning documentation.
- Data center commissioning and integrated systems testing.
- Evidence-based troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and technical risk assessment.
- Clear written and verbal communication of technical findings and recommended actions.
- Onsite infrastructure assessment and validation.
- Approximately five or more years of relevant experience is typical for this role; candidates with an equivalent demonstrated level of technical capability gained through other combinations of education, training, and experience should also be considered.
- Travel to data center locations is required. If possible, the posting should state the expected percentage and geographic scope of travel.
- ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Systems Engineering, another relevant technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education, technical training, certifications, and relevant professional experience.
- This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
