Job Description

Who are we?

At Vertiv, we’re on a mission to empower the people that will power the future. From a simple swipe to life-changing medicines, from push notifications to generative AI. We design, manufacture, and service the products and solutions that keep the world connected. With $6.9 billion in sales, a strong customer base and global reach spanning nearly 70 countries, we are uniquely positioned to deliver greater value to our customers and create new opportunities for our people.

We are currently looking for a Data Center Infrastructure Solution Architect to join our dynamic team in Zagreb, Croatia!

This role is for data center designers who don’t just create concepts—but deliver infrastructure that gets built, commissioned, and operated at scale. As part of the Infrastructure Solutions business unit, our prefabricated division, you will represent the full capability of the organization in front of customers, translating requirements into integrated, world-class data center solutions. You will operate at the intersection of engineering, delivery, and client engagement by owning the journey from initial concept through to real-world deployment. This is not a pure design role, it requires individuals who understand what works on paper and what performs in live environments.

What kind of work will you be doing?

Solution Development and Presales Support

• Translate customer requirements into solution concepts using approved architectures and standards
• Develop technical proposals, solution descriptions, and Bills of Material
• Support Sales with technical input during customer engagements, presentations, and clarifications

Application of Standards and Architectures

• Apply Vertiv reference architectures, redundancy models, and design guidelines
• Ensure solutions align with portfolio positioning, cost models, and delivery constraints
• Identify deviations from standard architectures and escalate when required

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with internal engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical, controls, services)
• Coordinate inputs from internal specialists and support functions
• Support smooth handover of solutions into execution phases

Quality and Risk Awareness

• Ensure solutions meet defined technical, compliance, and customer requirements
• Highlight technical risks, assumptions, and dependencies clearly
• Support validation against applicable standards (e.g. Tier intent, redundancy philosophy)

Continuous Improvement

• Capture lessons learned from executed projects
• Contribute feedback to improve reference designs, tools, and solution guidelines
• Actively develop technical and commercial understanding of Vertiv’s offerings

Success in this role is built on three core pillars:

• Design Depth — Strong mechanical and electrical design capability across data center systems, with cross-discipline awareness
• Operational Reality — Experience with constructed, commissioned, and running facilities
• Customer Leadership — Ability to engage clients, translate requirements, and shape solutions that deliver measurable value

Qualifications:

• Technical degree (Electrical, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline)
• 10+ years of experience in presales, design or solution engineering in infrastructure/data center environments
• Solid understanding of power, cooling, and infrastructure system concepts
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• English minimum B2 level
• Willingness to travel within EU, 20% of time

What do we offer?

• Access to internal training and external development opportunities
• Coverage of public transportation costs
• UNIQA supplementary health insurance for added security
• Special occasion bonuses (Easter, Christmas, performance-based rewards, and child-related bonuses)
• Free annual health check-up to support your well-being (Croatia Osiguranje)
• Opportunity to sign up for a Multisport card for an active lifestyle
• Fresh fruit delivered 2 times per week for a healthy start to the week
• Referral bonuses as a thank-you for helping us grow our team
• Financial support for new parents with a non-taxable baby bonus
• Assistance in difficult times with a non-taxable allowance for the loss of an immediate family member
• Professional development through mentorship and training
• International teams and dynamic environment
• Contribution to projects of high technical complexity with modern technical challenges
• Full creative and professional freedom
• Flexible working hours
• Positive, casual, friendly, team-based working atmosphere
