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).

Responsibilities:

• Define data center system-level, product architecture, and Research and Development, while helping to develop operations and maintenance procedures for systems/processes;
• Conduct engineering analysis and research designs and methods of data center equipment and facilities;
• Ensure designs and installations meet requirements (e.g., predicted cooling, structural, operational concerns, etc.).
