Senior Project Desinger

JOB SUMMARY:

Day Thermo Bond Solutions builds the physical infrastructure behind the next wave of high-density, AI-driven compute: engineered, precast, and deployed close to where the power and the workload live. As a Senior Project Designer, you won’t just draft buildings. You’ll design the vaults, layouts, and systems that make edge computes possible at scale, working alongside Product Management, Business Development, and Manufacturing to carry a concept from sketch to shipped product. We need someone who thinks in both CAD and consequences: strong technical skills, sound judgment, and the drive to solve real problems fast in a market by moving faster than most.
