## Description

Shield AI is seeking a Senior Site Infrastructure Engineer to plan, design, document, and support physical IT infrastructure across offices, engineering facilities, labs, manufacturing environments, and data centers.

As part of the Cloud & Infrastructure team within Enterprise Operations, this role will help deliver scalable and reliable site infrastructure, including rack layouts, structured cabling, power and cooling capacity, MDF/IDF design, DCIM, equipment sizing, and infrastructure documentation.

Responsibilities:

- Plan and design physical IT infrastructure for offices, labs, manufacturing facilities, and data centers.

- Lead and support new site buildouts, office expansions and relocations, data center deployments, hardware refreshes, and infrastructure moves.

- Develop rack layouts, MDF/IDF requirements, equipment placement plans, and infrastructure bills of materials.

- Create and maintain accurate rack elevations, physical connectivity diagrams, equipment records, cable documentation, and DCIM data across office and data center environments.

- Support capacity planning across rack space, site and data center power, cooling, cabling, and equipment growth.

- Administer and improve DCIM/IPAM/CMDB platforms such as Nautobot, NetBox, Device42, or equivalent.

- Establish and maintain physical infrastructure documentation and labeling standards to ensure environments remain accurately documented throughout their lifecycle.

- Review floor plans, low-voltage drawings, vendor designs, proposals, and statements of work.

- Coordinate with architects, contractors, colocation providers, carriers, OEMs, and field-service vendors.

- Partner with Network, Systems, and Cloud Engineering teams to ensure site and data center infrastructure supports compute, storage, connectivity, wireless, security, hybrid connectivity, and public cloud requirements.

- Identify capacity constraints, documentation gaps, and opportunities to improve infrastructure standards and processes.

- Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and support teams as needed.

Required Qualifications:

- 5+ years of experience in data center, enterprise site, or physical IT infrastructure engineering.

- Experience designing and supporting infrastructure across offices, data centers, labs, or similar enterprise environments.

- Strong experience creating and maintaining rack elevations, physical infrastructure diagrams, cabling documentation, equipment layouts, and infrastructure records.

- Strong knowledge of rack design, structured copper/fiber cabling, equipment placement, and physical infrastructure standards.

- Strong working knowledge of data center and site power, including A/B power, UPS/PDU systems, circuit capacity, equipment power draw, redundancy, and related cooling/airflow considerations.

- Experience designing MDF/IDF environments and sizing infrastructure for new or expanding facilities.

- Experience with DCIM/IPAM/CMDB platforms such as Nautobot, NetBox, Device42, Sunbird, or similar.

- Working understanding of enterprise networking, including switching, wireless, WAN connectivity, and carrier services.

- Ability to interpret architectural drawings, floor plans, low-voltage designs, and equipment specifications.

- Experience working with colocation providers, low-voltage contractors, carriers, and technology vendors.

- Strong technical documentation, communication, and organizational skills.

- Ability to independently execute infrastructure projects from planning through deployment.

- Ability to travel periodically for site and data center deployments.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience supporting a geographically distributed or rapidly growing enterprise.

- Experience across offices, engineering labs, manufacturing environments, and colocation data centers.

- Hands-on experience with Nautobot or NetBox for DCIM, IPAM, rack elevations, circuits, and infrastructure documentation.

- Experience supporting data center migrations, expansions, or greenfield site deployments.

- Familiarity with hybrid infrastructure and public cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure, including connectivity between enterprise sites, data centers, and cloud environments.

- Familiarity with infrastructure from vendors such as Juniper, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Dell, APC, or Vertiv.

- Experience developing infrastructure BOMs, cost estimates, lifecycle plans, and capacity forecasts.

- Experience using APIs, scripting, or automation to improve DCIM and infrastructure lifecycle management.

- Experience within aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or other regulated environments.

- Relevant certifications such as BICSI, CDCP, CCNA/CCNP, or equivalent.
