As a technical owner within Server Demand Planning, you drive server demand forecasting and demand-supply matching for your area and close on feasible supply requirements: you forecast near- and long-term server capacity demand by rack/hardware type and region, and you build the operations research models that match that demand to supply so we land the right long-term DC & hardware infra requirements, in the right place, at the right time.
Responsibilities
- Own and drive a multi-horizon server/MW demand forecast (near term through 2-5+ years), producing trusted, reproducible release to inform decisions
- Aggregate and normalize demand signals from short-term demand and product groups into a single trusted statistical long-term demand plan
- Formulate and solve the demand-supply matching problem using operations-research models that reconcile forecasted demand with hardware roadmaps, cooling, lead times, and power constraints to inform the Plan of Record
- Build across the full modeling spectrum: production-grade optimization and forecasting systems and prototype models and heuristics that answer a leadership question or unblock a decision
- Partner with IDC engineering, site selection, and hardware strategy teams to align next-generation data center designs, rack sizing, and hardware roadmaps with demand, eliminating stranded power, cooling, and space capacity
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- MS in a quantitative field (Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Applied Math, Statistics, CS, or related)
