Data Center Build & Deployment Intern

Data Center Integration turns delivered hardware into installed, cabled, power-on racks ready for cluster bring-up. The intern will work on live builds: receiving and staging racks, running installation quality checks against port maps and standards, tracking throughput, and finding the bottleneck that slows the next build down. The program ends with a shipped deployment dashboard and a cycle-time improvement with numbers behind it. Internship runs May to August (12 weeks), Tuesday to Friday, 8 hours.
