We seek a senior infrastructure engineer to serve as the forward-deployed technical lead for installing complex quantum systems - high-density water-cooled electronics, cryogenic quantum hardware, and the unique mechanical, electrical, and environmental constraints they carry - into customer and partner datacenters. You will translate IBM's reference architecture into a buildable plan for each site, navigating the trade spaces created by existing power, cooling, floor space, structural, and site constraints that vary from one datacenter to the next. You will assess site readiness, define the facility requirements a customer must meet, review and guide their build, and oversee bring-up and commissioning so that some of the most sensitive computational equipment in the world can run reliably outside our own walls. You will be a trusted advisor embedded with customer and partner teams throughout planning, design, build, and operations - and the voice that carries field insight back to IBM's internal hardware, facility, and product teams.
Hands-on experience with high-reliability critical infrastructure - including chilled water plants and distribution, redundant power systems, and specialized environmental controls in datacenter, manufacturing, or research environments - is a must, as is the ability to work credibly with external technical and executive stakeholders.
What you'll do
At IBM, you don’t need a degree to shape the future. Just bring your skills—and your passion. To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate.
Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. To lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems. Let’s get to work.
