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 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 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 Engineer, you will bridge the gap between high‑level architectural concepts and technical telecommunications reality. You will be responsible for the ’central nervous system’ of our data centers, developing scalable, integrated solutions at both the product and top‑level assembly stages. By ensuring our telecom infrastructure is robust and efficient, you will provide the foundational framework necessary for next‑generation global deployment.

In this role, you will work through multi‑disciplinary projects and coordinate with structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, networking, and security trades. You will be tasked with rationalizing complex requirements into cohesive one‑lines and rack layouts while guiding external consultants in creating construction‑ready drawing packages. With a sharp eye for security requirements and a talent for managing shifting global priorities, you will play a vital role in the future of technology in our data centers.
