About Angad Sandhu
Angad Sandhu is Chief Technology Officer at Giga Energy. Location: United States.
I am an engineering executive and infrastructure strategist obsessed with speed, scale, and first-principles design. With over two decades of experience leading multi-disciplinary organizations, I specialize in solving the "impossible" problems inherent in building hyperscale infrastructure. As Director of Data Center Innovation at Google, I lead the design and engineering of next-generation AI infrastructure. My focus is on breaking the linear relationship between cost and capacity. By pivoting to direct-ship designs and challenging legacy standards (like removing CDUs and simplifying power redundancy), I’ve helped drive over $5B in program savings while compressing deployment timelines from years to months. Previously, I spent five years at Tesla as a Global Senior Engineering Manager, where I led the electrical design and infrastructure strategy for Giga Berlin, Giga Shanghai, and Giga Austin. From securing permits in record time to eliminating onsite fossil fuels, I build teams that deliver industry-firsts. Core Expertise: AI Infrastructure: High-density compute, fungible power topology, and liquid cooling integration. Capital Strategy: "Should-cost" modeling and supply chain negotiation ($100M+ savings). Rapid Deployment: Modular data centers and off-site manufacturing. Engineering Leadership: Scaling full-spectrum MEP, Civil, and Structural teams.
