Chandler, AZ
Hybrid (3 Days in 2 Days remote)
12-24 Month Contract
Description
We are seeking experienced Data Center Infrastructure Design Engineers to support the design, optimization, expansion, and long-term capacity planning of mission-critical data center environments. This role focuses on the physical infrastructure that powers and cools the data center, including electrical distribution systems, mechanical cooling systems, capacity planning, resiliency engineering, liquid cooling initiatives, and infrastructure modernization projects.
The ideal candidate will have experience designing and optimizing critical electrical and mechanical infrastructure, developing long-term capacity strategies, reviewing engineering designs, and supporting next-generation data center deployments. This is not an IT operations role. We are seeking engineers who design and plan the infrastructure behind the data center, not engineers whose primary responsibility is supporting servers, storage, networking, or cloud platforms.
- Design and optimize mission-critical electrical and mechanical infrastructure supporting data center operations.
- Develop long-term power, cooling, and space capacity plans to support future growth and infrastructure demand.
- Support data center expansion, upgrade, retrofit, and modernization initiatives.
- Evaluate and improve infrastructure resiliency, redundancy, and operational efficiency.
- Design and support liquid cooling solutions and associated piping and cooling infrastructure within data center environments.
- Review engineering drawings, design packages, one-line diagrams, specifications, and technical documentation.
- Perform infrastructure analysis to identify risks, constraints, and opportunities for optimization.
- Support commissioning, integrated systems testing, and infrastructure validation efforts.
- Conduct root cause analysis of critical infrastructure issues and develop corrective engineering solutions.
- Partner with facilities engineering, construction teams, utilities, vendors, commissioning teams, and critical systems stakeholders throughout project lifecycles.
- Utilize operational data, telemetry, and engineering metrics to improve infrastructure performance, reliability, and efficiency.
