Data Center Facilities Engineer

Data Center Facilities Engineer III

As a Facilities Technician - Mechanical, you will provide engineering ownership for the reliability, efficiency, and lifecycle performance of mission-critical mechanical and HVAC systems supporting hyperscale data centers. This role sets technical direction, resolves high-impact issues, and drives standards and upgrades that protect uptime and improve long-term performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Define, review, and improve mechanical/HVAC architectures and designs for high-availability environments (e.g., chilled water, DX, airside, redundancy strategies).
• Provide Tier-3 technical escalation for complex issues, including RCA, corrective action development, and verification of sustained fixes.
• Develop and maintain fleet standards for cooling redundancy, controls integration, equipment selection (e.g., chillers), and energy performance.
• Partner on capacity planning, retrofits, and emerging initiatives (e.g., liquid cooling, efficiency projects), ensuring operability and maintainability.
• Lead or support vendor technical reviews, commissioning acceptance criteria, and operational handover requirements.
• Partner with procurement, facilities, and construction to improve total cost of ownership through standardization and performance-driven specifications.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Extensive experience in mission-critical mechanical systems (data centers preferred; other high-uptime environments acceptable).
• Bachelor’s/Master’s in Mechanical Engineering; PE strongly preferred where applicable.
• Strong working knowledge of ASHRAE guidance and cooling system design/operation fundamentals.

Skills And Competencies

• Strong technical judgment, structured problem solving, and ability to communicate risk and tradeoffs clearly.
• Familiarity with modeling/simulation tools (e.g., Carrier HAP, TRACE, CFD) is a plus when applied to real decisions.

Why Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?

• Global impact at scale: Contribute directly to how mission-critical OCI data centers operate across regions and continents, influencing infrastructure reliability, security, sustainability, and long-term capacity growth.
• Technically rigorous environment: Work alongside experienced engineers, automation specialists, and compliance teams in a rapidly scaling hyperscale cloud infrastructure, where disciplined execution and technical depth matter.
• Culture built on operational excellence: Join an organization that values safety, process rigor, clear accountability, and continuous improvement as foundational to protecting uptime and customer trust.
• Long-term career development: Benefit from internal mobility, role-based technical training, and development opportunities designed for professionals building long-term careers in cloud infrastructure and facilities operations.
