Job description

DoD SkillBridge Opportunities available on-site in Mesa, Arizona; Reno, Nevada, and Santa Clara, California

We're looking for technically sharp, safety-minded professionals who thrive in environments where precision, accountability, and teamwork are everything. If you're passionate about complex systems, committed to doing things the right way, and ready to bring your military experience into a high-performing operations team, we want to hear from you.

EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure is partnering with the DoD SkillBridge program to offer active-duty service members a full-time internship as a Core Operations Technician, one of the most hands-on, high-impact roles on our team. Our SkillBridge placements are intended to be 26 weeks and to lead directly to full-time employment with EdgeCore. While a formal offer is contingent on performance and mutual fit, we bring SkillBridge participants on with the expectation that they will be joining our team permanently upon completion.

The Role

As a Core Operations Technician, you'll be one of the most trusted eyes and ears on the ground. You'll play a critical role in keeping our systems running smoothly and safely — monitoring data center conditions, leading vendor operations, and acting as a first responder when something doesn't look right. More than that, you'll help shape the future of EdgeCore's operational excellence.

• Serve as a safety-first responder for cooling and electrical systems during operational events
• Oversee daily vendor and contractor activities to ensure work is completed safely and to standard
• Utilize Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to track, document, and manage work orders, assets, and spare parts
• Author, review, and execute formal operating procedures with rigorous procedural discipline
• Support continuous improvement efforts by contributing feedback that refines our operations playbook
• Duration: Up to 180 days
• Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours per week
• Compensation during SkillBridge: Covered by your military pay and benefits
• Target base pay upon full-time hire: $35–$55/hr. depending on location, experience, and qualifications, plus performance-based annual bonus

What We Offer Upon Hire

• Full-time hourly, non-exempt role: Onsite position based at a data center location in East Mesa, AZ, Reno, NV, or Santa Clara, CA.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance: Includes a $0-premium medical plan option (employee-only enrollment level).
• Flexible Spending Accounts & Health Spending Account: Health & Dependent Care FSA, Limited-Purpose FSA, and an HSA with a company contribution.
