Job Responsibilities:
Capacity Planning & Management
- Develop and maintain data center capacity models (power, cooling, space, network, and compute).
- Forecast short-term and long-term capacity requirements based on business growth and project pipelines.
- Monitor utilization trends and recommend optimization strategies.
- Ensure adequate capacity is available to meet SLA and performance requirements.
Engineering & Design
- Support design and deployment of data center infrastructure (rack layouts, power distribution, cooling systems).
- Collaborate with design teams to ensure scalability, redundancy, and efficiency (e.g., Tier standards).
- Review and approve engineering designs, drawings, and technical specifications.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices.
Project Support
- Work closely with project managers to align capacity planning with project timelines.
- Provide technical input during project planning, execution, and commissioning phases.
- Coordinate with vendors, contractors, and internal stakeholders.
Operational Optimization
- Identify opportunities to improve efficiency (e.g., PUE optimization, load balancing).
- Implement tools and dashboards for capacity tracking and reporting.
- Support incident analysis related to capacity constraints or engineering failures.
Stakeholder Management
• Liaise with IT, operations, and business units to gather requirements.
• Communicate capacity risks, constraints, and recommendations to leadership.
• Prepare reports and presentations for senior management.
Job Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Master's degree is a plus.
- 5–10+ years of experience in data center engineering, capacity planning, or infrastructure management.
- Experience with hyperscale or colocation data centers preferred.
- Proven experience in capacity modeling and forecasting.
- Strong knowledge of
- Data center power and cooling systems (UPS, HVAC, CRAC/CRAH).
- Rack capacity planning and space optimization.
- Network and compute infrastructure basics.
- Familiarity with DCIM tools and monitoring systems.
- Understanding of redundancy standards (e.g., N, N+1, 2N).
