TL;DR · Planning & Deployment Engineer

The Planning & Deployment Engineer serves as the critical technical-readiness link between program management, engineering, low-voltage vendors, and Data Center Build and Deployment Engineers. This role is responsible for the upfront technical and operational review of deployment projects to ensure requirements are accurate and executable before they reach the data hall. Day-to-day responsibilities include validating hardware requirements, Bills of Materials, cut sheets, and rack positioning while identifying design gaps and risks early in the lifecycle. The candidate will manage vendor relationships, coordinate RFQ activities, and oversee project schedules across multiple concurrent builds. Key technical competencies include expertise in low-voltage infrastructure, structured cabling including copper and optical fiber, network infrastructure knowledge, and testing methodologies. This role solves the problem of ensuring seamless capacity delivery by removing administrative hurdles for field engineers through rigorous pre-deployment validation and process improvement.

What you'll do

  • Conduct comprehensive technical reviews of project requirements, hardware BOMs, and documentation before field execution.
  • Identify and resolve technical gaps, material issues, and dependencies to prevent downstream deployment delays.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of data center projects from initial intake through final capacity delivery.
  • Coordinate RFQ activities and manage low-voltage vendors to ensure they meet quality and schedule commitments.
  • Evaluate Design Change Requests (DCRs) for technical impact and update project plans accordingly.
  • Track milestones, risks, and blockers across multiple concurrent construction and deployment projects.
  • Develop scalable processes and automation opportunities to improve deployment speed and data quality.
  • Translate complex program requirements into actionable guidance for field engineering teams and vendors.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 5+ years of experience in data center, telecommunications, or low-voltage infrastructure deployments.
  • Must have 5+ years of structured cabling infrastructure experience including copper and optical fiber methodologies.
  • Must be able to review and validate technical documentation such as cut sheets, BOMs, and rack layouts.
  • Must possess knowledge of network infrastructure, connectivity, networking layers, and testing/validation methodologies.
  • Must have experience coordinating or managing low-voltage vendors and contractors in complex environments.
  • Must possess strong project management skills including scoping, scheduling, risk management, and critical-path analysis.
  • Must be able to manage multiple concurrent projects while prioritizing tasks based on changing requirements.
  • Must have strong written and verbal communication skills to convey technical information to various stakeholders.
