Principal Data Center Electrical Engineer

Key Responsibilities
Critical Environment Maintenance Support:
-Manages the ongoing critical environment maintenance support for all service lines to pre-defined SLAs to ensure service uptime is maintained to the highest standards and that faults are dealt with promptly.
-Employs practical operating knowledge of engineering systems, including standard diagnostics and repairs.
-Applies knowledge of Oracle processes, procedures, and industry standards to resolve routine issues.
-Offers suggestions for system-level enhancements to reduce potential problems.
-Contributes to testing the suitability of components or action plans for deployments.
Incident Management and Operation Improvement:
-Manages incidents that impact OCI services, proactively addressing root causes in a timely manner.
-Collaborates with design, construction, commissioning, facility engineering, data center operations, health and safety, and compliance teams to integrate new electrical distribution systems to existing data center.
-Empowers operational optimization and efficiency improvement initiatives.
-Ensures alignment of own work with safe working practices.
-Provides expertise during post-incident reviews by conducting root cause analyses, documenting lessons learned, and developing Corrective and Preventive Action Plans (CAPAs) to mitigate recurrence and improve system resilience.
Site Selection and Build:
-Conducts site reviews and assessments in collaboration with other teams to evaluate suitability for data center builds, gathering and analyzing technical, environmental, and infrastructure data to inform decision-making.
-Prepares technical reports to document findings, support recommendations, and communicate results to stakeholders.
-Participates in design reviews and oversees commissioning activities in collaboration with other teams, reviewing data to ensure alignment with engineering standards and project requirements.
-Reviews mechanical simulations (e.g., Computational Fluid Dynamics [CFD] analyses) to assess airflow and thermal performance, identifying design adjustments to improve system efficiency, reliability, and performance.
Data Center Operations Management:
-Supports and validates on-site data centers operations in relation to the electrical or mechanical infrastructure.
-Serves as an electrical or mechanical subject matter expert (SME) for on-site operations related to mission critical electrical systems, operations, and functionality.
-Partners with the colocation providers' engineering teams to ensure electrical or mechanical systems are adequately designed, specified, and installed to deliver robust operation for Oracle.
-Adheres to developed standards and policy through the review of documentation, participates in commissioning activities, design summits, and data center commissioning or reviews.
-Reviews critical impacting changes and represents engineering in change advisory board (CAB) meetings.
Engineering Design, Leadership, and Governance:
-Collaborates with senior team members and supports a project or other design and engineering initiatives.
-Provides engineering insight to ensure project or other design initiatives align with company expectations.
-Coordinates with internal and external project team members in delivering specific aspects of data centers or part-data centers for Oracle.
-Provides input for effective contract administration, including supporting the generation and review of contracts, change orders, cost forecasts, and other pertinent documents.
-Contributes to the development of policy documents by collaborating with team members.
-Contributes to the creation and upkeep of best-in-class policies and procedures, participating in their review as necessary.
-Prepares technical reports to document findings, communicate progress, and support project or design decision-making.
Training and Knowledge Sharing:
-Contributes to the identification of training programs for newer members of the team.
-Acts as a subject matter expert with many standard systems and trains others on the team.
