Principal Offsite and Modular Engineer

This role will focus on developing scalable offsite-manufactured and prefabricated infrastructure platforms that accelerate deployment, improve quality, reduce construction risk, and support OCI's rapidly growing cloud and AI capacity demands. You will serve as a senior technical leader and subject matter expert, partnering across design engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, construction, commissioning, and operations organizations to define the future of modular data center delivery. This is a highly visible individual contributor role with broad influence on OCI's infrastructure roadmap, deployment strategy, and next-generation data center platforms. What You'll Do Modular Infrastructure Strategy & Engineering Develop and drive OCI's modular infrastructure strategy for electrical, mechanical, controls, and utility systems. Establish standardized modular design approaches that improve scalability, repeatability, and deployment speed. Evaluate opportunities for prefabrication and offsite manufacturing across data center infrastructure systems. Lead technical decision-making for modular architecture, interfaces, and deployment methodologies. Design & Integration Define engineering requirements and design standards for modular electrical rooms, e-houses, cooling plants, pump skids, power distribution systems, utility modules, and integrated infrastructure packages. Ensure seamless integration of modular systems into OCI's data center design standards and operational requirements. Review engineering designs, specifications, manufacturing drawings, and technical submittals. Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, structural, controls, and network engineering teams to optimize modular solutions. Manufacturing & Supply Chain Partner with manufacturers, fabricators, and strategic suppliers to develop scalable modular products and solutions. Evaluate manufacturing capabilities, production processes, and quality control programs. Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), product validation, and manufacturing readiness reviews. Drive continuous improvement initiatives with suppliers to improve quality, cost, and deployment efficiency. Deployment & Commissioning Support transportation, site integration, installation, startup, and commissioning of modular infrastructure systems. Identify and mitigate technical risks associated with modular deployment strategies. Collaborate with construction and commissioning teams to improve field execution and deployment consistency. Capture lessons learned and implement improvements across future deployments. Innovation & Technical Leadership Research emerging technologies and modular construction methodologies. Influence OCI's long-term infrastructure roadmap through innovative engineering solutions. Serve as a technical advisor for large-scale infrastructure programs and strategic initiatives. Mentor engineers and contribute to the development of engineering best practices across OCI. Originally posted on Himalayas
