## About the Role

5+ years of experience with datacenters / critical infrastructure.

 * Experience with datacenter / server room commissioning including Level 5 testing / Integrated Systems Tests.
 * Knowledge of data center facilities design, commissioning, and operations
 * Experience with facility and systems monitoring best practices, data analysis, incident management and troubleshooting.
 * Strong understanding of electrical and mechanical systems, regulations and standards for datacenters (eg: ISO/IEC 22237, TIA-942, EN-50600).
 * Experience with Satellite tracking ground antennas, and satellite uplink ground stations is a plus (or cellular sites).
 * Ability to read and interpret electrical, mechanical, civil, fire system drawings and schematics.
 * Experience working with Business Continuity Plans, Audits, Compliance, and Root Cause Analysis initiatives.
 * Experience designing / deploying / maintaining Network Architectures.
 * Experience with fiber builds, diversity etc.
 * Experience with operating a high reliability service, focusing on improving uptime
 * Ability and desire to work in a highly cross-functional team, spanning multiple time zones, operating at fast pace.
 * Expert-level knowledge and support of data center operations, including electrical systems that support systems in high availability, high-risk, or high-reliability environments.
 * 5+ years of experience working with physical servers, network equipment, and Out-of-Band hardware including facility controls is desired
 * 5+ years of related experience in a critical facility environment.

Work Location: Remote. Will be 50% travel around the world. Must have passport and ability to work outside of the US.

Top skills :

 * 5+ years of data center experience specifically, not total experience.

 1. Data center design (TIA-942 / EN 50600)
 2. Commissioning and the tests needed to pass it
 3. Electrical and/or mechanical (HVAC) design, ideally both
 4. Civil or physical network design (fiber conduits, fiber entry)

 * Background: Back-of-house facility engineering, such as electrical distribution, HVAC, generators, and panels, and knowing why each was installed and whether it meets facility capacity. Construction experience is a plus. Titles like Chief Engineer are a good fit. Racking and stacking servers or placing cabinets does not count.
 * Electrical/mechanical depth: "More is better." At minimum, the person should read electrical one-lines and run capacity math for breakers and cooling.
 * Voltage: Familiarity with U.S. 208V/480V three-phase and international 380/400/415V. Medium voltage is not required.
 * International experience is preferred. No specific country is required.
 * Satellite/RF experience is a bonus, not a must-have. The team can teach RF, but commissioning is much harder to teach.

## Description

* Build and improve global communications systems: architecture, requirements, technical budgets, performance assessment, and troubleshooting
 * Work with internal teams and manage external suppliers and vendors so they deliver quality work on schedule
 * Lead equipment upgrades and modifications in production environments
 * Develop training programs, and train and mentor facility operators
 * Adapt to changing priorities and handle ambiguous problems
