Sterling, Virginia, United States Align Communications Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated and organized professional to join our Data Center Solutions team in Brooklyn, NY. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with 1-3 years of data center technician experience.

Job Description

The successful candidate will work under the direction of the Data Center Operations Manager to provide on-site support to maintain a data center and its hardware, including day-to-day moves and other IMAC (install, move, add, change) work. Responsibilities include:

  • Performing hands-on rack and stack of data center equipment and structured cabling installation
  • Assisting with building suites within a co-location facility, including cabinet installation, back-to-back cabling, and equipment racking
  • Cabling current and new setups, including copper patching and fiber patching
  • Terminating cables in the data center, patch cords, and cross-connects, as well as troubleshooting and repairing cabling and infrastructure problems as needed
  • Installing new hardware such as switches, servers, storage devices, firewalls, and routers

  • Helping monitor the data center environment, including power usage, rack capacity, network ports, and climate

We offer a competitive salary of approximately $70,000 per year, plus benefits, paid training, and performance-based bonuses.

A good understanding of data center operations and data center facilities is essential. Ideal candidates will have some basic experience with IT construction or data center buildout, but this is not required.

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • 1-3 years of relevant data center operations, data center technician, or data center hardware support experience
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication (both written and verbal), organizational, presentation, and collaboration skills
  • Knowledge of low-voltage cabling infrastructure standards, including Category 6 cabling, Category 6A cabling, OM3 fiber, OM4 fiber, and single-mode fiber
  • At least one year of hands-on server and network gear installation and move experience, including performing network patching (copper and fiber cabling) within a data center
  • Basic understanding of all data center functions, including production operations, network, server, storage, database, change control, disaster recovery/business recovery, help desk, systems management, and facilities
  • Strong time-management and follow-up skills
