Description
About the role
Anthropic's compute runs on a growing global portfolio of data centers built with development partners. As a Senior Field Engineer on the Data Center Design and Engineering team, you will work side by side with developers, general contractors and engineers of record to resolve technical issues on site and speed up construction.
Responsibilities
- Be our engineering presence on site. You will walk installed work against the approved design and build working relationships with developers, general contractors, engineers of record, vendors and commissioning teams.
- Get issues closed. You will keep one prioritized list of open engineering issues for your sites, each with an owner and a date.
- Find out why things fail. When equipment, an installation or a test fails, you will gather the evidence, test the first explanation, and trace the failure to its underlying cause.
- Clear the path to commissioning and handover. You will check the interfaces between power, cooling, controls and structure before they surface as test failures.
- Bring the field back into the design. You will turn recurring site problems into changes to our designs, standards and audit checklists.
Requirements
- Have spent years on active project sites in energy, power, heavy industrial, data center or similar environments, as an engineer, project manager, or construction or commissioning lead
- Can read drawings, single-line diagrams, P&IDs, specifications and schedules well enough to see where they disagree with what's been installed
- Can give specific examples of persuading contractors, vendors or partners who didn't report to you to change course
- Hold your position under pressure, back it with evidence, deliver bad news early, and change your mind when the facts change
- Have led structured failure investigations, using a method such as 5 Whys or 8D, and seen the corrective actions through
- Write short, factual reports that a busy reader can act on
- Treat safety as your own job, and will stop work that isn't safe
Nice to Have
- Experience as an owner's representative overseeing an EPC or general contractor
- Commissioning, startup or system turnover experience
- Worked in LNG, refining, offshore, power generation, semiconductor or naval environments
- An electrical, mechanical or civil, structural and architectural (CSA) engineering background
- A PE license, PMP or OSHA 30 certification
- Familiarity with tools such as Procore or Primavera P6
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and benefits
- Optional equity donation matching
- Generous vacation and parental leave
