Data Center Technician (Break/Fix + Installation)
Location: Sparks, Nevada (Reno area)
Why This Role MattersBehind every always‑on digital experience is a data center operating at full speed—24/7. When servers fail, cables go bad, or systems start throwing errors, it’s the technician on the floor who makes the difference. Not by guessing. Not by swapping parts blindly. But by thinking through the problem, isolating the issue, and fixing it the right way.
We’re building a team of Level 2 Data Center Technicians who want to be trusted with real responsibility. This is not a remote‑hands role. It’s a hands‑on, technically challenging position supporting both new infrastructure buildouts and live production environments
. If you enjoy troubleshooting, working with servers, and being the person others rely on when things break—you’ll fit right in. This is a great opportunity to work for a leader in AI and Robotics!
This role blends true break/fix troubleshooting with installation and deployment work, keeping every day dynamic and engaging. You will:
- Troubleshoot and isolate server issues in production and deployment environments
- Perform real break/fix diagnostics—not just part swapping
- Use Linux to help isolate logical and system‑level issues on servers
- Order replacement parts, install components, and manage defective part returns
- Perform firmware and BIOS updates to maintain supported configurations
- Configure IP addresses and default credentials during staging and turn‑ups
- Partner closely with network teams on physical‑layer support, including:
- Replacing damaged or faulty cabling
- Re‑routing cables to correct ports
- Swapping optics on server and switch ports
- Supporting hardware upgrades and component installs
- Rack, stack, and cable servers or switches, including temporary setups so network teams can remotely configure equipment
- Support ongoing installation, deployment, and buildout activities
- Assist with Level 1 tasks when needed to keep operations moving smoothly
