** What you will do
** Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role you will be bridging Information Technology (IT) and the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems that power and cool Amgen’s data centers. This role ensures operational continuity and reliability by aligning IT infrastructure with the underlying facility systems. While not responsible for performing electrical or mechanical trade work, the engineer must understand electrical distribution, cooling, and plumbing systems well enough to interpret diagrams and engage effectively with facilities and vendor partners.

This role demands hands-on expertise with enterprise infrastructure (rack and stack, structured cabling, server, storage, and networking platforms), coupled with strong analytical skills and customer service orientation. The ideal candidate will bring experience in enterprise infrastructure cabling—including Outside Plant (OSP) fiber, CAT6A standards, and campus patching standards—along with awareness of AI-enabled tools that support monitoring, automation, and predictive analytics for optimized data center operations.##
