## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree (B.A.) or equivalent from four-year college in computer science or related field or equivalent experience, * 5+ years of experience in critical facilities / electrical infrastructure / data center or computer room environments, ideally supporting industrial or manufacturing facilities
 * Hands-on expertise with UPS systems, battery technologies, and electrical distribution, including troubleshooting and operational safety protocols.
 * Demonstrated capability producing and maintaining rack elevations/layouts and validating power/thermal/weight constraints.
 * Experience with generators, ATS/STS units, and mission-critical electrical systems operations.
 * Familiarity with industry data center tiering concepts and reliability-oriented design thinking, * Travel: Up to 10%, domestic and international

## Description

Reporting to the Operations lead of Global Compute platforms, this role will be responsible for end-to-end facilities for on-site computer rooms at manufacturing locations, with a primary focus on:

 * IT electrical load planning (kW/rack, amperage, phases, A/B feeds, redundancy paths)
 * UPS and battery backup strategy (runtime targets, capacity management, maintenance/test plans)
 * Rack elevations and layout design (power/thermal/weight validation, growth planning, cable paths)
 * Overall computer room design (power distribution, environmental requirements, physical/security controls, and facilities readiness), * Power Requirements & Electrical Design (IT Load Planning)
 * Own IT power demand planning for manufacturing computer rooms: establish current and future rack power budgets, peak load assumptions, and growth buffers.
 * Produce/maintain documentation of power source paths, redundancy assumptions, and room feeding approach (e.g., dual feeds, generator transfer) consistent with site DR and readiness documentation practices
 * Coordinate with plant electrical/facilities teams on electrical capacity, panel space, circuits, breakers, and phased expansions.
 * UPS / Battery Backup Engineering & Runtime Targets
 * Define UPS strategy (central room UPS vs. rack UPS) and ensure capacity supports business uptime needs.
 * Manage UPS lifecycle: sizing, runtime targets, monitoring, inspection cadence, testing, vendor maintenance coordination, and replacement planning.
 * Support sites where UPS utilization is already a risk: e.g., communications on maintaining a "stop-gap" utilization threshold and planning larger capacity upgrades
 * Perform troubleshooting and improvement planning for UPS/battery systems aligned with critical facilities operating practices
 * Rack Elevations, Physical Layout, and Capacity Modeling
 * Create and maintain rack elevations and "as-built" room layouts to support safe installation, maintenance access, and growth.
 * Ensure racks are designed and positioned to support safe servicing, cable length constraints, and practical workflows as part of overall computer room layout best practices.
 * Maintain CAD-style documentation and keep drawings current as the environment evolves
 * Site Readiness, Modernization Support, and Constraint Removal
 * Partner with IT infrastructure modernization programs (e.g., dual-room resiliency to identify and eliminate physical constraints like insufficient UPS power, rack space limits, and lack of dual connections.
 * Drive remediation plans in coordination with facilities teams while minimizing production impact
 * Operational Excellence: Risk, Change, and Incident Support
 * Serve as the facilities escalation point for computer room power events, and participate in root cause analysis and remediation planning for electrical failures. [jobs.apple.com]
 * Establish/maintain SOPs/MOPs for planned power work, UPS maintenance, rack adds/moves/changes, and room upgrades.
 * Provide QA/QC oversight for contractor work impacting computer rooms and critical electrical paths
 * Stakeholder, Vendor, and Contractor Management
 * Manage vendor relationships for UPS, battery, and monitoring systems; coordinate quotes, SOWs, and delivery timelines for upgrades (including cases where site power capacity expansion is required).
 * Collaborate with plant maintenance on generator/transfer readiness and testing practices where applicable.
