Job description
Install, maintain, troubleshoot, and support data center hardware, infrastructure, and supporting systems to ensure high availability, reliability, and operational efficiency. Install, maintain, troubleshoot, test, label, and document structured cabling infrastructure, including copper (Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6A) and fiber optic cabling. Perform network cabling, patching, cross-connects, cable routing, rack elevations, cable management, and connectivity validation for network, compute, and storage environments. Coordinate fiber optic installation, splicing, testing, and termination activities with internal teams and external vendors. Hands-on fiber termination is not required; however, the engineer must understand fiber optic standards, installation, testing, documentation, and the overall deployment process to effectively plan, coordinate, and validate implementation. Support the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of low-voltage infrastructure, including network connectivity, environmental monitoring systems, access control, surveillance, and other supporting data center technologies. Monitor environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity, power utilization, and cooling performance, ensuring compliance with operational standards and service level objectives. Assist in the planning and execution of data center projects, including equipment deployments, hardware refreshes, cabling installations, migrations, infrastructure upgrades, and facility expansions. Perform hardware installation, decommissioning, moves, adds, and changes (MACs) for servers, storage, network equipment, and supporting infrastructure. Maintain accurate documentation of rack layouts, cable maps, fiber pathways, patch panels, network connectivity, asset inventory, and infrastructure changes. Demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills to troubleshoot hardware, physical connectivity, structured cabling, and basic operating system or software issues. Apply industry best practices for rack organization, cable management, airflow optimization, and physical infrastructure reliability. Collaborate effectively with Network Engineering, Systems Engineering, Security, Facilities, vendors, and other cross-functional teams to support operational and project objectives. Safely perform physical work in a data center environment, including lifting equipment, installing overhead or underfloor cabling, and working in hot and cold aisle environments. Preferred Education
