The candidate will work through ambiguity, competing priorities, and be capable of understanding mechanical/electrical engineering concepts. Experience in managing data center infrastructure deployments is a plus. Candidates possessing a background in architecture/design, mechanical/electrical engineering, software/hardware engineering, data center infrastructure/operations, and/or construction, who have transitioned to a program management discipline will have a distinct advantage.
