As a DC Infrastructure Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining our data center infrastructure to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and security. You will work closely with our engineering teams to help out our growing infrastructure needs and show your work through your command of your AutoCAD design experience.
Responsibilities
* Design and create layouts of data center infrastructure including facilities structure, cabinets, overhead ladders and raceways, structured cabling, aisles (hot & cold), cabinets, mechanical, electrical, servers, storage, and networking equipment.
* Perform capacity planning and resource allocation to ensure the scalability and efficiency of our data center environment.
* Monitor and optimize the performance of data center infrastructure components to meet service level agreements (SLAs) and business requirements.
* Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure-related issues, collaborating with cross- functional teams as needed.
* Implement and maintain security measures to protect data center assets and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.
* Plan and execute infrastructure upgrades and migrations with minimal impact on ongoing operations.
* Document configurations, processes, and procedures to ensure knowledge sharing and operational continuity.
* Stay abreast of the latest developments in data center technologies and best practices, recommending and implementing improvements as necessary.
* Utilize AutoCAD design experience to create detailed technical drawings and models for data center layouts and infrastructure components.
Requirements
* Strong knowledge of data center architecture along with the minimum design requirements for a network, compute, and storage racks as well as layers 2/3 and virtualization platforms
* Proven experience in a colocation, inside plant, or telecommunications facilities engineer or similar role in a large-scale data center or telecom environment.
* Solid understanding of physical design standards and IT security best practices in data centers and colocation facilities.
* Strong understanding of public cloud infrastructure as well as cloud-native applications, preferably with demonstrable experience in helping scale the overall global footprint of a geographically diverse production network
* Excellent troubleshooting skills with the ability to analyze complex issues and implement effective solutions.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
* Relevant certifications (e.g., CCNA, MCSE, VCP, Autodesk Certified Professional) would be a plus.
