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).

As a Data Center Services Electrical Engineer you will have experience with data center design, development, construction and commissioning projects. You will provide support for all electrical systems of large-scale data centers, networking, AC/DC power distribution and control systems. You will be tasked with coordinating the needs of multiple partner teams, while managing changes and maintaining a focus on keeping the project on schedule.

You will have experience managing large scale technical projects in a rapidly changing industry, ability to grow in ambiguity and demonstrated problem-solving leadership. You should be able to conceptualize and describe the delivery of a data center facility from start to commissioning and understand the nuances and risks that you need to manage.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running.
