· Install and validate fiber and copper cabling, power connections, and rack components
· Set up airflow and cooling systems, including direct-to-chip connections
· Perform initial system bring-up, hardware checks, and basic network connectivity testing
· Audit installations for labeling, cable management, power, cooling, and design compliance
· Guide junior technicians, resolve deployment issues, and document progress or deviations
Required Skills & Experience
· Experience with data center installations or a similar hands-on technical role
· Strong knowledge of racks, servers, storage, and network equipment
· Experience installing and validating fiber and copper cabling
· Familiarity with rack power distribution, PDUs, dual feeds, and redundancy concepts
· Ability to read technical drawings, rack layouts, schematics, and methods of procedure
· Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to work independently while guiding junior technicians
Desired Skills & Experience
· Experience installing or validating direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems
· Familiarity with DX airflow management and rack-level cooling practices
· Experience with OS installation, imaging tools, BIOS settings, or firmware validation
· Knowledge of post-installation testing and quality assurance procedures
