Structured Cabling Design Engineer

Accountabilities

• • Develop end-to-end structured cabling designs for new-build, expansion, retrofit, and capacity-add data center projects.
  • Design fiber-optic and copper cabling infrastructure supporting networking, compute, storage, management, security, and building systems.
  • Develop connectivity designs for MDFs, IDFs, MMRs, network rooms, meet-me rooms, and data halls.
  • Create fiber backbone, horizontal cabling, interconnect, cross-connect, and equipment connectivity architectures.
  • Produce single-line diagrams, cabling schematics, rack elevations, patching diagrams, pathway layouts, fiber routing plans, and connectivity schedules.
  • Determine appropriate fiber counts, cable and connector types, patch-panel requirements, termination methods, and pathway capacity.
  • Design single-mode and multimode fiber solutions, including high-density and MPO/MTP-based connectivity where appropriate.
  • Specify Category 6/6A copper cabling and associated patching infrastructure.
  • Calculate capacity requirements for cable trays, conduits, ladder racks, pathways, and containment systems.
  • Coordinate cabling designs with network, electrical, mechanical, architectural, security, and construction disciplines.
  • Review construction drawings, BIM/CAD models, technical specifications, vendor submittals, RFIs, and supplier proposals.
  • Prepare Bills of Materials (BOMs) and support material forecasting and procurement activities.
  • Establish and maintain cabling standards, design guidelines, naming conventions, labeling requirements, and installation specifications.
  • Ensure designs comply with applicable TIA, BICSI, IEEE, NEC/NFPA, ISO/IEC, and manufacturer standards.
  • Support capacity planning by assessing future fiber, copper, rack, and pathway requirements.
  • Review contractor installation packages and verify that field implementation aligns with approved designs.
  • Support testing, certification, commissioning, punch-list resolution, and project closeout activities, including reviewing OTDR and insertion-loss results where applicable.
  • Participate in remote design reviews, construction coordination meetings, and technical troubleshooting.
  • Conduct occasional site surveys and field inspections when required.
  • Identify design risks, constructability challenges, capacity constraints, and opportunities for standardization.
  • Maintain accurate as-built documentation, cable schedules, port assignments, rack elevations, and connectivity records.
  • Manage multiple concurrent data center projects while maintaining high standards of quality and meeting schedule commitments.

  Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in structured cabling, telecommunications, physical network infrastructure, data center infrastructure, or a closely related field.
  • Strong hands-on design experience within mission-critical or data center environments.
  • Demonstrated expertise in fiber-optic infrastructure, including both single-mode and multimode fiber.
  • Solid understanding of structured cabling architecture, high-density connectivity, patching systems, pathways, and physical network infrastructure.
  • Experience developing technical drawings, cabling schematics, rack elevations, connectivity schedules, and related design documentation.
  • Knowledge of relevant industry standards and practices, including TIA, BICSI, IEEE, NEC/NFPA, ISO/IEC, and manufacturer requirements.
  • Ability to coordinate effectively with multidisciplinary engineering, construction, operations, network, and vendor teams.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, particularly when assessing capacity, constructability, reliability, and future-growth requirements.
  • High attention to detail and commitment to maintaining accurate technical documentation and as-built records.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities independently in a remote working environment.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the confidence to participate in technical reviews and resolve design or implementation issues.
  • Willingness to conduct occasional site surveys and field inspections as project requirements dictate.

  Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation.
  • Career growth and continuous learning opportunities.
  • Flexible working environment with a high degree of ownership and autonomy.
  • Opportunity to work on impactful, large-scale AI and data center infrastructure projects.
  • Collaborative and innovative engineering culture.
  • International environment with talented, multidisciplinary teams.
  • Opportunity to contribute to technically challenging projects shaping the infrastructure behind the AI economy.
  • Fast-paced environment offering meaningful responsibility and the opportunity to influence infrastructure standards and solutions.
  • Commitment to an inclusive workplace and equal employment opportunities.
  • Support for reasonable accommodations during the application process.
