Data Center Facilities Engineer III

Oracle is a leading company in AI and cloud solutions, and they are seeking a Data Center Facilities Engineer III to provide engineering ownership for mechanical and HVAC systems in hyperscale data centers. The role involves defining and improving designs, providing technical escalation for complex issues, and collaborating on capacity planning and operational standards.

Responsibilities:

• Define, review, and improve mechanical/HVAC architectures and designs for high-availability environments (e.g., chilled water, DX, airside, redundancy strategies)
• Provide Tier-3 technical escalation for complex issues, including RCA, corrective action development, and verification of sustained fixes
• Develop and maintain fleet standards for cooling redundancy, controls integration, equipment selection (e.g., chillers), and energy performance
• Partner on capacity planning, retrofits, and emerging initiatives (e.g., liquid cooling, efficiency projects), ensuring operability and maintainability
• Lead or support vendor technical reviews, commissioning acceptance criteria, and operational handover requirements
• Partner with procurement, facilities, and construction to improve total cost of ownership through standardization and performance-driven specifications

Requirements:

• Extensive experience in mission-critical mechanical systems (data centers preferred; other high-uptime environments acceptable)
• Bachelor's/Master's in Mechanical Engineering; PE strongly preferred where applicable
• Strong working knowledge of ASHRAE guidance and cooling system design/operation fundamentals
• Strong technical judgment, structured problem solving, and ability to communicate risk and tradeoffs clearly
• Familiarity with modeling/simulation tools (e.g., Carrier HAP, TRACE, CFD) is a plus when applied to real decisions
