Data Center Electrical Engineer

Meta's mission is to give people the power to build communities and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build communities and connect in meaningful ways.

Together, we can help people build stronger communities - we're just getting started. Meta is seeking a Data Center Electrical Engineer experienced in the design and operations of critical facilities to become part of our design engineering team. Our data centers are the foundation upon which our software operates with efficient ease. Building and operating data centers the "right" way from the day they go live is synonymous with ensuring capacity, availability, and capital conservatism.

The Meta Data Center Engineering team focuses on improving reliability, safety, and efficiency for the data center industry and improve reliability, safety, and efficiency through innovative solutions, enabling infrastructure teams to excel in achieving their goals.
