You install, configure, test and troubleshoot hardware (servers and components) and server software. You also manually move and install racks and servers.

The Data Center team designs and operates some of the most sophisticated electrical and HVAC systems in the world. We are an upbeat, creative, team-oriented group of engineers committed to building and operating powerful data centers.
