Support the stand‑up of new government and partner managed sites by validating physical infrastructure readiness and ensuring all required facility prerequisites are met for hosting enterprise IT systems.
Conduct detailed site surveys to assess electrical, mechanical, environmental, security, space, and cable pathway requirements necessary to support mission equipment within secure facilities.
Verify that all physical infrastructure components—power, grounding, cooling, rack systems, cabling pathways, and environmental conditioning are in place and fully capable of supporting system deployment and operational use.
Coordinate closely with site personnel, government facility managers, Unified Communications (UC), Systems Engineering, Network Engineering, and other cross functional teams to ensure alignment on requirements and deployment sequencing.
Maintain visibility into physical infrastructure issues across supported sites, monitoring conditions, identifying risks, and escalating or coordinating corrective actions as needed.
Deploy to remote sites, when required, to troubleshoot and resolve physical layer issues, working in collaboration with UC, systems, and network engineering teams to restore readiness and support incident response.
Plan, design, and oversee the installation, configuration, integration, and modification of datacenter physical infrastructure in accordance with engineering standards, government codes, and program requirements.
Review facility specifications, installation standards, ICD‑705 requirements, and construction schedules to ensure secure facilities can meet program technical and security objectives.
Develop and maintain technical design artifacts, including layout drawings, rack elevations, cable routing diagrams, power distribution schematics, and As‑Built documentation.
Perform, direct, or inspect the installation of IT equipment, structured cabling, and supporting physical components to verify conformity with approved engineering drawings, specifications, and project timelines.
Participate in physical installation activities, including equipment deployments, preoperational configuration, compliance checks, and readiness validation during site activation events.
