Data Center Operation - Engineer

ECL has just changed the GAME with the introduction of the world’s first Hydrogen powered off grid green data center with 99.999% uptime. There is massive demand for high-end Data Centers that can meet the demands that come with AI and Machine Learning requirements. What was only a futuristic idea that most thought was 10-20 years out is NOW a reality. Our end-to-end construction platform, modular architecture, is repeatable from 1-2MW’s meeting the needs of even larger data center sites. Imagine the opportunity at hand to build and deliver a Completely Green Power Generation System in this new era of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence disruptive technology advancements.

How would you like to be on the ground floor of such a technological revolution. This is your chance to become part of something special as we are poised for hyper growth. ECL was founded by data center veterans from companies including Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Cisco, HPE and Bloom Energy.

Location: Mountain View

Reports To: Director, Data Center Site Services

 

The Data Center Engineer (KTLO) is responsible for maintaining the continuous operational readiness of all critical infrastructure systems supporting a mission-critical data center environment. This role ensures uptime, preserves system redundancy, and enforces procedural and safety discipline across electrical, mechanical, and supporting site systems.

This is an operations-focused position centered on stability, execution, and compliance. The engineer executes approved procedures, supports structured change management activities, monitors system health, and maintains audit-ready documentation in a highly controlled, high-availability environment.

The role requires working knowledge of electrical distribution systems, critical cooling infrastructure (including liquid cooling technologies), structured MOP/SOP/EOP governance, and regulated operational environments. Success depends on procedural rigor, sound escalation judgment, and disciplined risk mitigation.

 

·         Operate and maintain UPS systems, switchgear, transformers, PDUs, generators, fuel cells, and BESS (as applicable)

·         Support switching activities under approved MOPs

·         Monitor load distribution and system redundancy health

·         Validate restoration of redundancy following maintenance events

·         Support incident response and recovery activities

·         Operate and maintain critical cooling systems (air and liquid-based)

·         Support environments utilizing rear-door heat exchangers, CDUs, and direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems

·         Monitor thermal performance, delta-T, flow rates, and capacity utilization

·         Validate cooling system redundancy and leak detection mechanisms

·         Assess operational impact of cooling system maintenance or failure conditions

·         Validate system performance post-maintenance or change activity

·         Draft, review, and execute MOPs, SOPs, and EOPs

·         Participate in risk assessments and pre-task planning

·         Maintain accurate as-built documentation, labeling, and system diagrams

·         Capture validation evidence including alarms, trend data, and post-event reporting

·         Enforce LOTO and electrical safety standards

·         Support site access control and vendor oversight

·         Maintain audit readiness aligned with SOC 2 / ISO 27001 controls

·         Participate in emergency response and disaster recovery exercises

 

·         3+ years of experience in mission-critical facilities or data center operations

·         Working knowledge of medium and low voltage electrical systems

·         Experience with critical cooling infrastructure

·         Experience supporting liquid cooling systems (rear-door heat exchangers, CDU-based systems, or direct-to-chip environments) preferred

·         Familiarity with structured change management processes (MOP/SOP/EOP)

·         Experience in audited or regulated environments preferred

·         Experience with alternative energy systems (fuel cells, BESS, microgrid environments) a plus

·         Ability to work in a 24/7 operational environment

 

·         Strong procedural discipline

·         Calm and methodical under pressure

·         Detail-oriented documentation practices

·         Clear communication and sound escalation judgment

·         Commitment to safety and operational integrity
