Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Represent operations inside R&D: the voice of the people who will run the design, embedded before it's built.
  • Own operability requirements: maintenance access, sparing, and procedures designed in, with vetoes exercised.
  • Build the O&M foundation for new designs: procedures, training outlines, and staffing models drafted with the design.
  • Run operability reviews on every release: what breaks at 3am, and whether a technician can actually fix it.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've operated critical facilities: data centers, plants, or heavy industrial sites.
  • You've influenced design from the operations seat and won the arguments that mattered.
  • You write procedures technicians actually follow.
  • You know what maintainability costs when it's missing.
  • You translate field pain into engineering requirements.
  • Bonus: Data center operations depth. CMMS and maintenance strategy. Commissioning participation. Startup site experience.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
