Senior Data Center BIM Designer

United States (Remote)

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 Senior Data Center BIM Designer to support the Galleon, Leviathan, and Orion 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 BIM thread that ties every discipline together — civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, piping, controls, and ICT — into a single coordinated model and build the BIM and drawing standards infrastructure.

You will build and own Armada's fully integrated BIM model spanning CSA, MEP, controls, ICT, produce and govern drawing packages for containerized and modular form factors (ISO shipping containers, e-houses, and skid-mounted equipment with PEMB buildings), and set the drawing libraries, standard details, templates, title blocks, and naming conventions the rest of the design team will build on. This is a facility-level BIM role — you'll build and coordinate the full data center model and drawings rather than modeling individual equipment from scratch, incorporating 3D models supplied by equipment manufacturers and vendors into the facility model. You'll also be the senior technical authority and cross-discipline escalation point, working directly with product and engineering leadership to embed repeatable, scalable BIM practices into new product development (Galleon/Leviathan/Orion) from day one.

 

 

Location. This role is remote-based on the continental US (approximately 10–20% travel to project sites, fabrication facilities, and vendor/GC locations).

 

 

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities) 

  • Integrated, all-discipline BIM ownership — Build and maintain one coordinated Revit/BIM model covering civil, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, piping, controls, and ICT for both the existing Modular Data Center (MDC) product line and new product development (Galleon/Leviathan/Orion), so the whole data center lives in one model instead of different disciplines working in isolation.
  • BIM/drawing standards from the ground up — Build and own the drawing libraries, standard details, templates, Revit families, title blocks, and naming/layer conventions for CSA and MEP alike — the framework the rest of the design team will work within going forward.
  • Senior technical authority on containerized and prefab drawing packages — Own how new form factors — ISO shipping containers, e-houses, skid-mounted equipment with PEMB buildings — get modeled and documented end to end across all MDC disciplines, setting the pattern the rest of the team follows.
  • Cross-discipline coordination — Run clash detection/coordination across all MDC disciplines, review design output against standards and the master model, and act as the single escalation point when disciplines conflict.
  • Repeatable, scalable design for new product development — Work directly with product/engineering leadership to define modular BIM templates and campus-level design patterns across the full discipline set as new products are developed — shaping how Galleon/Leviathan scales, not just documenting decisions made elsewhere.

 

 

Required Qualifications

  • 7+ years of hands-on BIM/CAD design and drafting experience in commercial, industrial, or modular/offshore projects — with deep, hands-on experience in either CSA (civil, structural, architectural) or MEP (mechanical, electrical, piping) and strong working knowledge of the other, plus demonstrated ability to coordinate across both.
  • Strong proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, with demonstrated ability to build and manage multi-discipline models and run clash detection/coordination (Navisworks or equivalent).
  • Ability to build BIM/drawing standards, libraries, templates, title blocks, and naming/layer conventions.
  • Comfort operating with a high degree of autonomy — you'll be defining the playbook, not inheriting one.
  • Willingness and ability to travel approximately 10–20% to project sites, fabrication facilities, and vendor/GC locations worldwide.

 

 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior experience with containerized, modular/prefabricated, or skid-mounted data center drawing packages — ISO shipping containers, e-houses, or skid-mounted equipment with PEMB or existing/new buildings.
  • Experience integrating controls/BMS and ICT (structured cabling, low voltage, fire alarm, security) scope into a single coordinated BIM model.
  • Experience standing up design standards, templates, or governance processes for a growing team, rather than only executing against existing ones.
  • Background collaborating directly with product/hardware engineering teams on new product development, not just project-based site work.
  • Autodesk Certified Professional (BIM Management for Building Design or discipline-specific Revit).
  • Experience administering a CDE (Autodesk Construction Cloud/BIM 360), familiarity with ISO 19650/openBIM standards, and reality capture (ReCap) for as-built verification.
  • 4D/5D BIM capability — experience linking models to project schedules (4D, e.g., Navisworks TimeLiner or Synchro) and cost/quantity takeoffs (5D, e.g., Assemble Systems), to support sequencing and cost forecasting for repeatable MDC deployments.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
