Data Center Capacity Engineer - Remote / Telecommute

Data Center Engineer

Responsibilities:

1. Monitor and analyze capacity metrics, aligning hardware requirements with physical data center resources.
2. Perform complex rack-based 3-phase power calculations to balance redundant bus feeds and ensure electrical stability.
3. Design and configure network fabric architectures to ensure high availability and robust network connection redundancy at the node level.
4. Manage remote ticketing and troubleshooting in lights-out environments using Out-of-Band (OOB) management for full remote operational control.
5. Apply Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles to data center operations, focusing on automation, latency reduction, and overall reliability of physical and virtual infrastructure.
6. Execute hands-on technical tasks, including server builds, hardware assembly, and troubleshooting.
7. Coordinate with Data Center Operations teams to support physical deployments, including racking and precision cabling.
8. Manage incoming requests through Jira and ServiceNow, prioritizing tasks and coordinating with cross-functional teams to maintain uptime.
9. Coordinate procurement and vendor relations to ensure timely hardware orders, resolve shipment discrepancies, and maintain accurate documentation.
10. Identify and implement process improvements to enhance operational efficiency, scalability, and time-to-compute metrics.

Requirement/Must Have:

• Deep familiarity with spine-leaf architecture, network fabric design, and implementing redundant failover paths per node.
• Practical knowledge of 3-phase power distribution, including managing A/B redundant power feeds and load balancing.
• Experience using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and SRE methodologies to automate repetitive operational tasks and hardware provisioning workflows.
• Proven ability to maintain uptime in lights-out facilities through advanced remote monitoring and Out-of-Band (OOB) management.
• Strong knowledge of data center infrastructure and the ability to translate technical demand into physical hardware needs.
• Experience with server builds, hardware troubleshooting, and physical deployment support.
• Proficiency with Jira and ServiceNow.
