Telecommunications Engineer, Fiber

<div class="content-intro"><p>SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of&nbsp;enabling human life on Mars.</p></div><p><strong>TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENGINEER, FIBER</strong></p> <p>As a Telecommunications Engineer at SpaceX, you will work in a complex environment designing and supporting a variety of critical infrastructure.&nbsp;<span data-contrast="auto">The IT Network Infrastructure Engineering team designs and builds critical infrastructure that supports the functionality, growth, and reliability of AI training and inference for our mission to understand the universe and make life multiplanetary. The team plans, designs, and constructs new data centers, capacity expansions, and technology refreshes in existing regions, and manages operation of the existing fleet to ensure system reliability and efficiency. The team includes electrical, mechanical, and telecommunications engineers with cross-disciplinary experience. We strive for timely delivery of efficient data centers that support the latest technologies and hardware architectures while maintaining uptime. As a IT Network Infrastructure Engineer focused on Data Centers, you will design large cable plants and low-voltage systems for the latest network architectures at scale. You will ensure scalability while future-proofing data center cabling plants for changes in network architectures and data transmission speeds beyond 800G. You will work collaboratively and cross-functionally with capacity planning, network engineering, hardware reliability, construction, and operations.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong>RESPONSIBILITIES:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Provide engineering support for the design, operation, improvement, and troubleshooting of all fiberoptic and copper supported network infrastructure for multiple IP based systems</li> <li>Coordinate downtime activities between maintenance, construction, and production teams to minimize disruptions</li> <li>Drive telecommunication projects using design change requests, power monitoring data, and advanced detection methods</li> <li>Troubleshoot electrical system problems, conduct breaker coordination, arc flash studies, and track electrical load and capacity</li> <li>Coordinate material procurement for large scale projects</li> <li>Write, negotiate, and manage construction contracts with subcontractors across multiple disciplines through contract close-out</li> <li>Collaborate within interdisciplinary teams to design, optimize, and maintain systems</li> <li>Provide telecom engineering support to field technicians to troubleshoot existing equipment</li> <li>Oversee equipment installation, operation, and maintenance to meet specified parameters</li> </ul> <p><strong>BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline and 5+ years of experience working in and designing data center connectivity; OR 7+ years of experience working in and designing data center connectivity in lieu of a degree.</span></li> <li>2+ years of experience in industrial electrical engineering and medium or high voltage power systems</li> </ul> <p><strong>PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:</strong></p> <ul> <li>5+ years of professional experience with the design or build of commercial or industrial telecommunication systems as LAN/WAN/WIFI/LTE and ISP/OSP structured cabling systems</li> <li>Primary experience with structured cabling for high density commercial applications</li> <li>Working knowledge of low voltage AC and DC applications required for powering IT and telecom equipment through multiple power sources</li> <li>Experience with critical power infrastructure including UPS systems, backup generators, and automatic transfer switches</li> <li>Experience creating and implem
