About the role
- This is a hands-on infrastructure role focused on bringing new sites from shipment arrival through full operational readiness.
- You will coordinate and supervise the deployment of servers, storage, networking, cabling, and supporting infrastructure, ensuring equipment is installed, configured, tested, documented, and ready for production use.
- This is not a traditional systems administrator role and not a facilities-only role.
Responsibilities
- Own the hardware deployment plan for new data center sites, including timelines, scope, resources, and readiness milestones.
- Support deployment of servers, storage systems, network devices, optics, cabling, and related data center infrastructure.
- Ensure hardware is installed according to design standards, cabling standards, safety requirements, and operational procedures.
- Support firmware updates, hardware configuration, asset validation, and integration with management or monitoring systems.
- Perform first-line troubleshooting during deployment across hardware, cabling, optics, power, network connectivity, and Linux-based hosts.
- Document installation steps, asset data, cabling details, test results, issues, and lessons learned.
- Support transition of deployed infrastructure to operations teams for steady-state management.
- Maintain high standards for safety, documentation, change control, and operational discipline.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in data center infrastructure, hardware deployment, IT field engineering, infrastructure operations, or related technical environments.
- Hands-on experience with server, storage, and network hardware installation, including racking, cabling, labeling, powering, and validation.
- Experience working in data center environments with racks, structured cabling, power distribution, cooling requirements, and physical infrastructure dependencies.
- Ability to troubleshoot hardware, cabling, optics, connectivity, and deployment issues in a live infrastructure environment.
- Basic working knowledge of Linux-based systems, including comfort with command-line checks, connectivity validation, logs, or host-level troubleshooting.
- Ability to read and interpret technical documentation, rack elevations, site layouts, wiring diagrams, and deployment runbooks.
- Proven ability to coordinate deployments across vendors, contractors, logistics, network teams, construction teams, and operations stakeholders.
Nice to have
- Experience supporting GPU, HPC, AI infrastructure, high-density compute, or clustered server environments.
- Familiarity with high-speed networking, optics, fiber cabling, MPO/MTP, InfiniBand, RoCE, or similar technologies.
- Experience with hardware diagnostics, firmware updates, out-of-band management, and server validation workflows.
- Familiarity with asset tracking, change management, QA checklists, and deployment acceptance testing.
- Experience using Linux, Bash, Python, Ansible, Terraform, or similar tools in infrastructure environments.
- Experience working in hyperscale, cloud-scale, colocation, or large enterprise data center environments.
