Telecom Conveyance Engineer, Data Center Infrastructure

Meta is hiring a Telecom Conveyance Engineer to lead the technical strategy and standardization of physical connectivity pathways across its data center campuses. The role advances prefabricated and modular pathway solutions and coordinates with network and multidisciplinary engineering teams to support scalable, efficient infrastructure delivery.

Responsibilities:

• Define theand own technical strategy and design standards for outside plant (OSP) connectivity pathways including underground conduit systems, manholes, handholes, vaults, and inter-building fiber routes, ensuring scalability, redundancy, and compliance with applicable standards and codes
• Lead the design and standardization of inside plant (ISP) connectivity pathways including overhead cable tray systems, vertical risers, floor/wall penetrations, and pathway routing to network equipment
• Architect integrated row conveyance solutions that coordinate cable tray, electrical busway, and water distribution systems within a unified overhead delivery framework
• Assist with designing and standardizing multi-trade rack configurations that consolidate power, network, and cooling distribution infrastructure for efficient installation and maintenance
• Drive Meta's prefabrication strategy for pathway and conveyance assemblies—defining modular design packages, factory qualification criteria, and field installation standards
• Develop design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles that enable pathway components to be prefabricated off-site with predictable quality, tolerances, and installation interfaces
• Lead cross-functional coordination with electrical, mechanical, structural, civil, construction teams and network engineering teams to ensure pathway designs accommodate all trade requirements and maintain separation and access standards into site master plans and building infrastructure layouts
• Establish pathway capacity planning frameworks that account for current fill ratios, future growth, and evolving cable densities driven by AI/GPU infrastructure
• Create design automation tools, templates, and parametric models that enable scalable pathway design across multiple facility types and regions
• Drive continuous improvement of pathway designs based on construction feedback, operational lessons learned, and evolving infrastructure requirements

Requirements:

• Degree in electrical, mechanical, civil, or architectural engineering
• 12+ years of experience in data center or mission-critical facility design, with significant focus on cable pathway, conveyance, or physical distribution infrastructure
• Experience designing and specifying cable tray systems (ladder, solid-bottom, wire mesh), conduit design, electrical busway, and overhead/under-floor distribution architectures
• Experience with outside plant design including underground duct banks, conduit routing, manhole/handhole design, and inter-building connectivity pathways
• Demonstrated expertise in structured cabling pathway standards (TIA-568, TIA-569, BICSI TDMM) and applicable building/electrical codes (NEC, NFPA, IBC)
• Experience collaborating with civil, structural, and network engineering disciplines to integrate conveyance systems into large-scale infrastructure programs
• Ability to resolve complex, multi-trade coordination challenges and drive alignment across engineering and construction teams
• Track record of driving standardization across a global portfolio or multi-site program
• Experience with hyperscale data center programs involving multiple concurrent facility builds
• Familiarity with BIM coordination workflows, clash detection, and 4D construction sequencing
• Proficiency in CAD/BIM tools (Revit, AutoCAD, or equivalent) for pathway design and coordination
• Experience leveraging computational design or AI tools for pathway routing optimization
• Knowledge of high-density fiber pathway requirements for AI/ML cluster connectivity
• 15+ years of experience spanning data center pathway design and construction delivery
• Direct experience developing prefabrication strategies, factory qualification programs, or modular construction frameworks at scale
