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).

In this role, you will serve as the primary technical liaison during construction. Resolve design ambiguities and provide engineering solutions to field-fit challenges. You will perform rigorous, periodic site walk-throughs, review installation quality to ensure strict adherence to engineered drawings and specifications. You will identify and resolve conflicts between design intent and physical site constraints before they impact the construction schedule. You will apply a deep understanding of local codes (e.g., NEC/NFPA) and industry standards to ensure every installation is compliant and safe. You will act as a technical mentor and advisor to electrical contractors, ensuring the RFI process is streamlined and technically sound.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
