What to Expect

Tesla is currently seeking a Cabling Design Engineer who can drive cabling design for large scale data centers. Engineer will work directly with other Engineers and Managers across the Tesla infrastructure teams to develop structured Cabling infrastructure solutions for the physical layer. You will also work with industry suppliers and startups to develop requirements and recommend new technology.

This is an opportunity to leverage and grow your existing engineering experience in an innovative and highly collaborative environment where the results of your work will directly impact Tesla’s AI infrastructure.

What You’ll Do
Perform work within time parameters and ensure compliance with all HR, Safety, and company policies and procedures
Collaborate with internal stakeholders to deliver designs that meet capacity and network requirements and turn-up timelines
Ensure timely delivery of scalable fiber optic & copper plant designs
Install cable pathway systems (cable trays, cable racks, J-hooks or D-rings)
Install, terminate, test, label, and document horizontal, backbone and other cables
Build out telecommunication and equipment rooms and Data Center Racking and stacking
Perform continuity checks, locate, and correct wiring errors using measuring instruments (OTDR,Power Meter)
Perform complex technical assignments involving communications systems, instrumentation, and data acquisition/processing systems
Read and interpret planning documents, schematics, wiring diagrams, specifications, drawings, manuals, blueprints, and engineering sketches
What You’ll Bring
3-5 years of experience leading the installing, testing, troubleshooting, and repairing fiber optics, copper cabling systems in a Data center or commercial construction environment
Proven ability to install, terminate and test low voltage cables and fiber optical cables to include twisted pair, coaxial, stranded, and solid conductor low voltage cables, single mode and multi-mode fiber optical cables
Strong knowledge of industry standards (BICSI, NEC, TIA/EIA); several types of fiber (MM, SM) for interior and exterior usage; Cat5E, Cat6 and Cat6A data cabling; and cable pathways such as conduit, fire penetrations and cable trays
Knowledge of the telecom network best practices and concepts including network security, network architecture design, technical standards, and deliverables, troubleshooting tools (e.g., line analyzers, breakout boxes, and network traces), software and hardware installation and configuration, network hardware, and protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, DLC, and ASYNC)
Comprehension of modern networking architecture and what is necessary for physical layer inter-connectivity
Experience operating articulating boom lifts, forklifts, scissor lifts, and other work site machinery
Ability to work at elevated heights and/or tight spaces
Physical effort includes standing, lifting, and carrying moderately heavy materials or equipment up to 25 lbs.
Regularly exposed to work in extreme outdoor environments – heat, cold and rain
Ability to travel (~10-25%) as required to other Tesla locations
