TL;DR · Planning & Deployment Engineer

The Planning & Deployment Engineer serves as a critical technical-readiness function between program management, engineering, and low-voltage vendors. This role owns the upfront technical and operational review of data center build and capacity deployment projects to ensure requirements are accurate and executable before field implementation. You will conduct comprehensive technical reviews of hardware requirements, Bills of Materials, cut sheets, and rack positioning while identifying design gaps and dependencies. Key responsibilities include coordinating RFQ activities, managing low-voltage vendors, and tracking milestones across concurrent projects. You must possess deep knowledge of structured cabling infrastructure, including copper and optical fiber deployment methodologies, network infrastructure, and connectivity layers. The role solves the problem of downstream deployment delays by validating all materials and documentation before handoff to field engineering teams.

What you'll do

  • Conduct comprehensive technical reviews of project requirements to ensure readiness before field execution.
  • Validate hardware requirements, Bills of Materials, patching documentation, and rack positioning.
  • Identify technical gaps, inconsistencies, and dependencies early to prevent downstream deployment delays.
  • Coordinate RFQ activities and manage vendor engagement to support infrastructure deployment.
  • Track milestones, deliverables, and risks across multiple concurrent data center build projects.
  • Review Design Change Requests for technical impact and coordinate implementation across all teams.
  • Develop scalable processes to improve deployment quality, speed, and predictability.
  • Identify recurring deployment defects and implement root cause solutions to improve workflows.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 6 to 10+ years of experience.
  • Must have 5+ years of experience with data center, telecommunications, or low-voltage infrastructure deployments.
  • Must have 5+ years of structured cabling infrastructure experience, including copper and optical fiber deployment methodologies.
  • Must be able to read, write, and speak English.
  • Must be able to review and validate technical deployment documentation, including cut sheets, patching matrices, and Bills of Materials.
  • Must have knowledge of network infrastructure, connectivity, networking layers, and testing and validation methodologies.
  • Must have experience coordinating or managing low-voltage vendors and contractors in complex deployment environments.
  • Must possess strong project-management skills, including scoping, scheduling, dependency management, and risk management.
