About the job

Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. The Data Center Engineering team takes the physical design of our data centers into the future. Our lab mirrors a research and development department — cutting‑edge strategies are born, tested and tested again. Along with a team of great minds, you take on complex topics like how we use power or how to run state‑of‑the‑art, environmentally-friendly facilities. You're a visionary who optimizes for efficiencies and never stops seeking improvements — even small changes that can make a huge impact. You generate ideas, communicate recommendations to senior-level executives and drive implementation alongside facilities technicians.

With your technical expertise, you ensure compliance with codes and standards, develop infrastructure improvements and serve as an expert in your specialty (e.g., cooling, electrical).

The Data Center Electrical Engineer (EE) is responsible for the technical support of the localized design effort (Campus Plan through to Detailed Design), for field engineering support through project delivery and commissioning, and for engineering reviews of the close out documentation. In addition, and depending on the Campus activities, the EE is responsible for supporting the electrical design and delivery on Moves, Adds, Retrofits, Changes, Upgrades and Security projects (MARCUS) within operational data centers. The EE is responsible for liaising with the Data Center Operations (DC Ops) team on all electrical warranty issues.
