Data Center Critical Infrastructure Engineer
About The Position
Join a rapid-response engineering team focused on unblocking critical power and cooling issues that constrain AI data-center capacity delivery. This execution-oriented role is for an engineer who can investigate technical problems, coordinate across teams, and drive measurable closure. The engineer supports high-priority sites from issue identification through validation of the final solution. The role involves resolving power and cooling constraints across data-center construction, commissioning, and operations; analyzing technical and operational documentation; identifying root causes and impacts; and coordinating recovery actions with internal teams and external vendors. It also supports site walks, readiness assessments, and commissioning activities, and produces leadership updates and reusable lessons learned.
