Data Center Facilities Engineer III

Oracle is a leading company in AI and cloud solutions, seeking a Facilities Technician - Mechanical to provide engineering ownership for mission-critical mechanical and HVAC systems in data centers. This role involves setting technical direction, resolving high-impact issues, and driving standards to ensure uptime and improve long-term performance.

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
