Team Overview

The Data Center Construction organization at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is rapidly expanding to deliver large-scale data center campuses that support Oracle’s global cloud and AI infrastructure. These facilities require highly reliable, scalable, and integrated physical security systems to protect critical infrastructure, employees, customers, and operations.

Within the Data Center Delivery organization, the Physical Security Systems team is responsible for the design coordination, installation oversight, testing, commissioning, and operational readiness of security technology across OCI’s global data center portfolio. This includes access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, intercoms, perimeter security, badging systems, security networks, and integration with data center operations.

As a Principal Data Center Physical Security Systems Engineer, you will serve as a senior technical authority and delivery leader for physical security systems across complex data center construction programs. You will work closely with design, construction, security operations, network, low-voltage, commissioning, procurement, and vendor teams to ensure security systems are delivered on time, to standard, and ready for operational use.

This role is based in the El Paso, TX/Las Cruces, NM area and requires the candidate to live in the area. Relocation assistance is available. Only apply if you currently live in this area or are able to relocate permanently to the area.
