Systems Engineer, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Design & Technologists
We are seeking an experienced Data Center Design Engineer to lead the low-voltage infrastructure design for new greenfield data center buildouts. This role requires hands-on expertise in end-to-end electrical and communications pathway systems, from conceptual design through construction documentation. The ideal candidate will produce detailed scopes of work, accurate material/labor estimates, and fully coordinated BIM models to ensure seamless project execution.
________________________________________________
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead low-voltage infrastructure design for new data center construction projects, including whitespace, security, and administrative support areas.
- Develop comprehensive Scope of Work (SOW) documents defining system requirements, performance criteria, and installation standards.
- Create detailed material take-offs and Bill of Materials (BOM) with vendor-specific part numbers, quantities, and lead times.
- Prepare labor estimates by trade, phase, and crew size to support project budgeting and scheduling.
- Design divergent cable pathways (redundant A/B feeds) in compliance with TIA-942, Uptime Institute Tier standards, and client availability objectives.
- Specify and detail grounding and bonding systems per BICSI, IEEE 1100, and NFPA 70 (NEC Article 250/645).
- Engineer structured cabling systems using CAT 6/6A copper and single mode/multimode fiber for backbone and horizontal distribution.
- Integrate wireless access point (WAP) infrastructure, including PoE budgeting, coverage modeling, and heat mapping.
- Produce construction drawings in AutoCAD (2D) and Revit (BIM 360 coordination) with clash-free pathway routing.
- Coordinate with architectural, MEP, and structural teams to resolve spatial conflicts and maintain design intent.
- Support RFP responses, value engineering, and design-build procurement processes.
- Minimum 5+ years of data center low-voltage design experience, with direct involvement in new buildouts (greenfield or major expansions).
- Expert-level proficiency in AutoCAD; able to produce layered, standards-compliant drawings.
- Full understanding of divergent/redundant pathways, including basket tray, ladder rack, and underfloor systems.
- In-depth knowledge of grounding standards (TGB, TMGB, RGB, signal reference grids).
- CAT 6/6A cabling expertise, including termination standards (T568A/B), performance testing (Fluke DSX), and bend radius compliance.
- Wireless access point design experience (mounting, power, VLAN segmentation, RF interference mitigation).
- Comprehensive low-voltage scope: structured cabling, DAS, security, BMS integration, and A/V.
- Proven ability to deliver material/labor estimates within ±5% accuracy.
- Experience creating complete BOMs with long-lead item flagging.
