Connectivity Systems Engineer

Summary: Meta is seeking a Connectivity Systems Engineer to join our DEC Design Engineering team. Our Data Centers are the foundation upon which our rapidly growing infrastructure efficiently operates and our innovative services are delivered. This role is responsible for the design of inside and outside plant structured cabling and infrastructure for our data center installations u2013 including new builds, retrofits, special projects, and technology modifications. Connectivity Systems Engineers must demonstrate experience developing designs as well providing effective oversight of outsourced design work. In addition to assuring timely delivery of designs that meet (or exceed) project requirements, Connectivity Systems Engineers are expected to drive best practices and establish tools, processes, and standards consistent with large-scale data center deployments. Full design lifecycle engagement is required u2013 with lessons learned from field deployments rolled into future programmatic designs. The Connectivity System Engineer will be expected to collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders u2013 assuring all structured cabling design requirements are met in design execution. Required Skills: Connectivity Systems Engineer Responsibilities: 1. Drive designated program initiatives end-to-end u2013 from requirements gathering, to design development, cross-functional validation, and rollout 2. For special programs, drive global project execution in addition to program development 3.
