Data Center Constructability Engineer

About this role

About the Company

Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge, delivering modular AI infrastructure from first deployment to AI factory with speed, scale and sovereignty. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense.

With nearly $500 million in funding to date, Armada is backed by leading investors including Founders Fund, Lux, BlackRock and Microsoft (M12), alongside strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Dell, Palantir, NVIDIA, SpaceX, and Skydio. We are building the infrastructure layer for sovereign and edge AI - rugged, deployable compute for customers that cannot rely on centralized cloud.

Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world.

About the Role

Armada is hiring a Data Center Constructability Engineer to support the Galleon and Leviathan product lines — a brand-new capability for the company. As we scale Modular Data Center (MDC) deployments across a growing number of sites and geographies, we need someone who can own the constructability thread that runs from early site due diligence and design review through pre-construction planning, fabrication, installation, and commissioning, and make sure what gets designed can actually be built, on schedule, everywhere we operate.

You will review Leviathan/Galleon MDC and site designs for buildability, validate deployment methodologies (crane and access, sequencing, tolerances, and fit-up) before they're locked in, and build the standardized, repeatable construction playbooks that turn site execution into a repeatable process instead of a one-off plan per site. You'll also be the constructability point of contact linking Armada's product and engineering teams with fabricators, general contractors, and local delivery partners, supporting pre-construction planning and reviewing design packages and shop drawings to make sure what's designed matches how it will actually be built in the field.

Location

This role is Remote in the U.S. (approximately 30–40% travel to project sites, fabrication facilities, and vendor/GC locations).

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

• Constructability review & product feedback loop — Review Leviathan/Galleon MDC and site designs (civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, piping, controls, ICT, IT) at each stage gate and feed constructability input directly into product development — modularity, transport and lifting constraints, ISO container/skid interfaces, installation sequencing, and commissioning strategy — catching buildability issues while they are still cheap to fix, before they are locked into issued-for-construction drawings.

• Deployment methodology validation & site-specific risk assessment — Validate deployment methodologies for Leviathan across candidate and active sites worldwide (crane selection and access, laydown and site logistics, erection/installation sequencing, tolerances and fit-up), and own early constructability due diligence that flags site-specific vendor, access, or execution risk before it causes late-stage redesign or slips a deployment.

• Standardized, repeatable construction playbooks — Develop and maintain repeatable construction playbooks, sequencing plans, and methods of procedure for single-unit and campus-scale Leviathan deployments, turning site execution into a repeatable, SKU-like process instead of a one-off plan per site and region.

• Hands-on constructability analysis for new products & first-of-a-kind sites — Personally lead constructability analysis (crane/lift studies, transport and logistics modeling, installation sequencing) for new Armada products or site conditions where no vendor, GC, or prior-site precedent exists yet, establishing the buildability basis in-house before handing execution off to local contractors and fabricators.

• Pre-construction planning & cross-discipline coordination through execution — Act as the constructability point of contact linking Armada product engineering with civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, piping, controls, ICT, and IT disciplines, fabricators, and general contractors; support pre-construction planning (schedule, cost, logistics, procurement lead times) and review design packages and shop drawings for buildability, ensuring what is designed can actually be fabricated, transported, and installed as sequenced and on schedule.

• Constructability governance, documentation & readiness sign-off — Build and maintain constructability guidelines, buildability/site-readiness checklists, and review workflows by geography; track open constructability items and lessons learned across active sites; and provide the final constructability sign-off confirming a site's design and execution plan are buildable and ready to proceed to construction.

• Own the integration architecture across Armada’s systems landscape: define how systems connect, what data flows where, and how changes in one system propagate downstream.

• Map and maintain a clear picture of Armada’s full systems stack — data structures, APIs, field mappings, and integration dependencies.

• Monitor upstream vendor release notes and system changes; assess downstream impact before changes propagate; coordinate remediation across functions before issues surface in production.

• Manage integration sequencing: when multiple teams are building systems that integrate with each other, determine what goes in first, flag bridging risks, and prevent rework from parallel implementations.

• Define and govern integration patterns, including APIs, iPaaS, middleware, and data warehouse/lakehouse patt
