Data Center White Space Design Engineer

CoreWeave is a cloud infrastructure provider that empowers AI pioneers with high-performance, scalable data centre solutions. We are a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: CRWV) and a Living Wage accredited employer.

About the Role

We are looking for a motivated and detail‑oriented Design Engineer to support the technical design and coordination of CoreWeave’s data centre white space (data hall) environments worldwide. The role focuses on assisting Senior Engineers and external consultants in developing layouts and designs for server halls, IT infrastructure, and integrating mechanical and electrical systems. It requires travel to UK and EU data centre sites.

White Space Design Support & Coordination

• Assist in developing and reviewing white space (data hall) layouts including rack positions, containment, cold/hot aisle configurations, and IT infrastructure routes.
• Support Senior Engineers in coordinating white space requirements with mechanical and electrical design teams to ensure IT loads, heat rejection needs and power demands are clearly communicated.
• Help maintain alignment with CoreWeave design standards, Basis of Design (BoD) documents and technical requirements for data hall design.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work collaboratively with data centre providers, architectural/engineering consultants and contractors to integrate CoreWeave’s white space design into base building M&E infrastructure.
• Support coordination with internal SMEs across mechanical, electrical, IT/LV, BMS and operations to ensure the white space design meets capacity resilience and operational needs.
• Assist in managing technical queries related to data hall layouts, clearances, equipment arrangements and coordination with plant areas.

Standards Documentation & Compliance

• Support the application of CoreWeave white space and design guidelines to ensure consistency in data hall design across projects.
• Participate in design reviews, page‑turns and coordination meetings capturing comments specific to data hall layouts, access, maintenance routes and integration with services.
• Help maintain logs of white space design deviations, submittals, RFIs and change history throughout the project.

Project & Site Coordination

• Attend site visits in the UK/EU to observe how white space designs are implemented on the floor, checking rack layouts, containment installations and equipment positioning against design intent.
• Assist in reviewing as‑built data hall layouts, test results and commissioning outputs related to IT spaces.
• Support internal reporting on design status, risks and milestones tied to data hall readiness and handover.
• Assist with reviewing OFCI (Owner‑Furnished Contractor‑Installed) IT and white space‑related equipment (e.g. racks, containment, PDUs, in‑row solutions) checking alignment with project requirements and layouts.
• Help evaluate consultant or vendor proposals for white space design‑related services and equipment as part of the selection process.
• Participate in internal design discussions researching modern white space concepts such as high‑density layouts, liquid‑ready arrangements and phased deployment strategies.
• Provide input into improvements to CoreWeave’s standard data hall design approach, templates and tools.

Required Qualifications

• 13 years of experience in building services, data centre, critical infrastructure or technical building design (including internships or placement years).
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, floor plans and coordination layouts, especially related to plant spaces and IT/white space environments.
• Familiarity with tools such as AutoCAD, Revit or similar for layout and coordination work.
• Basic understanding of how mechanical and electrical systems interface with IT spaces (e.g. cooling distribution to white space, power pathways, cable containment).
• Strong technical documentation skills, including the ability to maintain mark‑ups, schedules and design registers.

Preferred

• Experience supporting design work on data centres, telecom facilities, laboratories, hospitals or other mission‑critical buildings.
• Knowledge of BMS concepts, LV/structured cabling or IT room requirements.
• Exposure to coordinating between base building M&E teams and IT/white space users.
• Interest in pursuing professional accreditation (e.g. CIBSE IET, IEng/CEng pathway or relevant certifications such as Uptime, BICSI, LEED).
