About the role

Role focused on end-to-end physical implementation of data center networks for hyperscale sites, including fiber plant architecture, cabling, optics selection, and integration with DCIM tools.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end physical implementation of the data center network: fiber plant architecture, transceiver planning, and structured cabling integration for hyperscale sites.
  • Collaborate with CSA, MEP, and construction teams on power, cooling, space, pathways, cabinets, and racks, and develop, read, and interpret construction drawings in Bluebeam, ACC, and Procore.
  • Break down DCN logical port maps (TOR, spine, super-spine, DCI) into physical cross-connect and patching schedules, and automate port-to-fiber mapping at 100K+ ports per site.
  • Define cassette types (MTP/MPO Base-8/12/16), trunk counts, and structured cabling hierarchy, and model fiber utilization and overbuild for two to three hardware generations.
  • Select optics (400G/800G DR4, FR4, LR4, SR8, coherent DCI) by reach and loss budget, validate interoperability across vendors and generations, and maintain loss-budget and margin models for every link type.
  • Own the ICT Basis of Design, SOPs, and Division 26/27/28/33 master specifications, and integrate with DCIM (NetBox, custom tools) to track strands, ports, and patching.

Qualifications

  • You've designed hyperscale or cloud-provider data center networks (1000+ racks, 100K+ fiber strands).
  • You're expert in structured cabling systems (Corning, Panduit, CommScope) and MPO/MTP ecosystems.
  • You know optical standards (IEEE 802.3, OIF) and transceiver technologies (400G/800G DR4, FR4, LR4, SR8) deeply.
  • You command fiber loss budgets, dispersion, and testing methodologies (OTDR, insertion loss, polarity verification).
  • You integrate designs into DCIM tools (NetBox, Remedy, or custom hyperscaler equivalents).

  • Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
