- Perform rigorous QA/QC inspections across all infrastructure layers, including racks, servers, cabling routes, labeling, and grounding standards.
- Conduct and validate fiber optic testing procedures such as OTDR, OLTS, and power meter evaluations, as well as copper cable certification and verification.
- Ensure compliance with technical standards, safety requirements, and structured cabling best practices, including industry-recognized frameworks.
- Produce detailed documentation, including test reports, as-built records, and root cause analyses for deployment issues.
- Coordinate with vendors, manage SLAs, and support handoff activities to operations teams upon project completion.
Requirements:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in data center infrastructure, telecom, or mission-critical environments.
- Strong expertise in fiber optic systems, structured cabling, and testing methodologies (OTDR, VFL, optical power meters, and related tools).
- Proven experience in server, storage, and networking hardware installation, including racking, stacking, and cable management.
- Ability to read and interpret technical documentation such as AutoCAD drawings, Visio diagrams, and engineering schematics.
- Experience working with contractors, vendors, and cross-functional engineering teams in fast-paced deployment environments.
- Strong organizational and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage complex, multi-stage infrastructure projects.
- Willingness to travel frequently (approximately 40%) for on-site deployment and infrastructure turn-up activities.
- Bonus: industry certifications such as BICSI RCDD, Cisco, Juniper, or equivalent credentials.
Benefits:
- Competitive hourly rate ranging from $72 to $120 depending on experience, skills, and location.
- Potential for equity-based compensation depending on engagement terms.
- Remote-first arrangement with significant on-site flexibility based on deployment needs.
- Opportunity to work on large-scale, cutting-edge infrastructure projects in the AI and data center space.
