We're looking for an Infrastructure Design Manager with deep expertise in mechanical, electrical, structural, or architectural engineering; someone who doesn't just follow playbooks but questions assumptions and builds solutions from fundamental truths.
In this role, you'll own the full design and engineering lifecycle for R&D infrastructure, from concept through construction. You won't inherit predefined solutions; you'll be expected to deconstruct complex problems to their core elements, evaluate trade-offs rigorously, and drive engineering decisions that optimize for real-world constraints; not convention.
This role is for you if you naturally begin with curiosity-asking "why?" before jumping to "how?"-and possess the analytical instinct to pinpoint the critical 20% of constraints that shape 80% of a design decision. You thrive in ambiguity, transforming uncertainty into clear, actionable engineering scope with confidence and clarity. You reject simplistic trade-offs and...
