Your day will involve building and maintaining complex capacity models, performing scenario analysis, and driving automation initiatives to improve operational efficiency.
In This Role You Will:
- Develop and maintain complex capacity models for future datacenter space and power deployment planning, incorporating all physical capacity limits.
- Perform scenario analysis to advise on infrastructure projects and optimize capacity utilization.
- Analyze power and cooling utilization trends, identify inefficiencies, and recommend optimizations to improve energy efficiency and sustainability.
- Support site selection, expansion, and build-out strategies by evaluating datacenter infrastructure capabilities and constraints.
- Work closely with datacenter operations, network, and compute planning teams to align infrastructure deployments with power and space availability.
- Develop KPIs and dashboards for real-time visibility into capacity utilization and manage space and power capacity.
- Apply data analysis to inform strategic business decisions, prioritizing operational trade-offs and capital spend.
- Collaborate with data engineering and tooling teams to drive automation initiatives to improve capacity planning and operational efficiencies.
- Analyze how datacenter infrastructure and design changes impact capacity and provide feedback to teams and upper management.
- Partner with Supply Chain, Delivery, and Datacenter teams to execute and minimize risks on hardware deployment plans across all data centers.
Who You Are:
- Minimum 7–9 years of prior experience in datacenter capacity planning, infrastructure planning, or a related role.
- Strong knowledge of datacenter power distribution (UPS, PDUs, generators, redundancy levels), cooling systems, and space planning.
- Understanding of server, storage, and networking hardware and their impact on datacenter resource utilization.
- Experience managing large data structures (Excel, SQL, Looker/Tableau) to build reports and run analysis.
- Ability to make recommendations in ambiguous environments.
- Ability to effectively work and communicate with cross-functional teams to coordinate operations and activities between departments.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
- Interest in creating and streamlining processes.
