Remote Hyperscale Structured Cabling Design Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Remote Hyperscale Structured Cabling Design Engineer to lead the design and integration of high-density structured cabling systems for large-scale, mission-critical data center environments. This role will be responsible for architecting fiber and copper infrastructure that supports hyperscale computing, AI workloads, cloud environments, and next-generation network deployments. The ideal candidate brings deep structured cabling design expertise along with a strong understanding of data center mechanical, electrical, and thermal environments. Design & Engineering Architect end-to-end structured cabling solutions using single-mode and multimode fiber, MPO/MTP high-density trunks, and Cat6/Cat6A copper infrastructure. Develop detailed construction documentation, including floor plans, rack elevations, pathway layouts, cable schedules, and fiber splicing diagrams. Design overhead and underfloor pathway systems while accounting for fill ratios, cable loads, bend-radius requirements, accessibility, and future capacity. Develop scalable cabling architectures for hyperscale, enterprise, colocation, and AI-focused data center environments. Design infrastructure with an emphasis on scalability, reliability, maintainability, and future network growth. Cross-Functional Integration Partner closely with MEP, facilities, data center engineering, and construction teams to coordinate cable routing and infrastructure placement. Ensure structured cabling designs integrate effectively with hot aisle/cold aisle containment, liquid cooling, and advanced thermal-management systems. Collaborate with network architects and engineering teams to support spine-and-leaf network architectures and future expansion requirements. Identify and resolve potential conflicts between telecommunications pathways and mechanical, electrical, and facility infrastructure. Documentation & Quality Assurance Produce accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), Statements of Work (SOWs), and project cost estimates. Review contractor submittals, RFIs, shop drawings, and as-built documentation for accuracy and design compliance. Ensure designs comply with applicable BICSI, TIA/EIA, IEEE, NEC, NFPA, and customer-specific requirements. Support quality assurance activities throughout installation, testing, commissioning, and project closeout. Help ensure completed installations align with approved engineering documentation and performance requirements.

Qualifications

Required 5+ years of structured cabling design experience. 2+ years of experience supporting hyperscale, enterprise data center, telecommunications, or colocation environments. Proven experience designing high-density fiber and copper infrastructure for mission-critical facilities. Strong knowledge of single-mode and multimode fiber, MPO/MTP connectivity, and Cat6/Cat6A copper solutions. Experience designing and coordinating cable pathways, rack layouts, and high-density data center infrastructure. Strong proficiency with AutoCAD and Revit. Working knowledge of relevant structured cabling and life-safety standards, including BICSI, TIA/EIA, IEEE, NEC, and NFPA. Ability to collaborate effectively with MEP, facilities, network engineering, construction, and installation teams. Ability to travel up to 40% of the time. Preferred Experience supporting major hyperscale environments such as AWS, Microsoft, Google, or Meta. BICSI DCDC (Data Center Design Consultant) certification. CDCP (Certified Data Centre Professional) certification. Pay $90hr - $120hr
