Data Center Production Operations Engineer Responsibilities:
  • Perform hands-on installation, configuration, troubleshooting, and replacement of server hardware components including CPUs, memory, storage, and network interface cards across large-scale data center environments
  • Execute rack-level deployments and decommissions in alignment with capacity planning schedules, ensuring accurate asset tracking and documentation
  • Respond to hardware failure alerts and production incidents, diagnosing root causes and coordinating repairs to minimize mean time to recovery
  • Partner with hardware engineering and network operations teams to validate new server configurations and support qualification testing of next-generation infrastructure
  • Develop and refine standard operating procedures for recurring operational tasks, leveraging automation and AI-assisted workflows to improve efficiency and reduce manual effort
  • Monitor data center infrastructure health using operational dashboards and tooling, identifying trends that indicate systemic hardware or environmental issues
  • Collaborate with facilities and power and cooling teams to ensure physical infrastructure conditions remain within operational thresholds
  • Contribute to capacity readiness reviews by tracking hardware inventory, flagging deployment blockers, and communicating status to cross-functional stakeholders
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives by analyzing operational data, identifying recurring failure patterns, and proposing process or tooling enhancements
  • Maintain accurate records of hardware assets, incident tickets, and change management activities in accordance with data center operational standards

Minimum Qualifications:
  • 2+ years of experience in data center operations, including hands-on server hardware installation, troubleshooting, and replacement in a production environment
  • 2+ years of experience diagnosing and resolving hardware failures across server components such as CPUs, DIMMs, HDDs, SSDs, and network interface cards
  • Experience following and contributing to standard operating procedures, change management processes, and asset tracking practices in a large-scale data center
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams including network engineering, facilities, and hardware engineering to resolve production issues and support infrastructure deployments

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Familiarity with data center infrastructure management systems for asset tracking, capacity planning, or incident management
  • Experience with scripting or automation tools (such as Python or Bash) to streamline repetitive data center operational tasks
  • Exposure to power and cooling systems, including working knowledge of how environmental factors affect server hardware reliability and performance
  • Experience supporting hardware qualification or bring-up testing for new server platforms in a production or lab environment
