Job Summary

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.

Required Qualifications

  • 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.

Preferred Qualifications

  • RCDD certification (active) or documented progress on RCDD pathway.
  • BIM/Revit proficiency (LOD 300+ modeling for cable tray, conduits, and containment).

Education-Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or related field (or equivalent experience).
