About the job
Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. Data Center Engineers work on the design, construction, commissioning, and operational phases of the data center's life-cycle. They define data center system-level architectures, specifying performance requirements and creating conceptual design and programming requirements. Engineers may focus on one aspect of data center construction such as site construction, power or cooling facilities, etc. Along with a team of great minds, you take on complex 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 senior-level executives and drive implementation alongside facilities technicians.
