Responsibilities
- Deploy and validate datacenter network infrastructure including front-end fabric, back-end fabric, BMS, and management networks
- Configure switches, install and validate optics, coordinate fiber/cabling work, and drive deployments through completion
- Ensure physical connectivity meets production standards
- Coordinate with structured cabling teams on fiber remediation, validate insertion loss and OTDR traces, troubleshoot optical layer issues, and document physical infrastructure as-builts
- Manage hardware logistics including device staging, rack/stack coordination, RMA processes, and DCIM updates
- Track hardware inventory, coordinate vendor shipments, and ensure devices are ready when deployments need them
- Partner with DC Operations (rack/stack, power, cabling), ICT teams (fiber validation), Hardware teams (logistics), and Network Engineering (config validation) to drive deployments forward
- Maintain accurate documentation of deployment activities including cutsheets, as-builts, validation results, and lessons learned
- Identify gaps in deployment procedures and propose improvements
- Provide backup operational support during and after deployments
- Respond to incidents, execute troubleshooting procedures, and coordinate break-fix activities
