Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. The Data Center Engineering team takes the physical design of our data centers into the future. Our lab mirrors a research and development department -- cutting-edge strategies are born, tested and tested again. Along with a team of great minds, you take on complex topics like how we use power or how to run the 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.
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).
Our passion for technology drives everything we do. As a Mechanical Engineer on the Data Center Technology Systems (DCTS), a multidisciplinary group of engineers and architects dedicated to designing next-generation data centers, you will play a key role in developing, analyzing, and optimizing the mechanical cooling infrastructure. You will use various analytical tools to reveal important data points in the design process for efficient mechanical systems. You will be a strong communicator, able to articulate complex ideas concisely across all digital mediums and provide recommendations to cross-functional engineers and architects to enhance our data centers' mechanical systems and accelerate construction.
