Role overview
Nebius is building a full-stack AI cloud platform to support developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment. The company is listed on Nasdaq (NBIS), headquartered in Amsterdam, and operates R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America, and Israel. Nebius is seeking an experienced Structured Cabling Design Engineer for a remote position. This role is responsible for developing scalable, standards-compliant fiber and copper cabling designs from concept through construction and deployment for hyperscale and enterprise data center environments.
Responsibilities
- Develop end-to-end structured cabling designs for new-build, expansion, retrofit, and capacity-add data center projects.
- Design fiber-optic and copper cabling systems supporting data center network, compute, storage, management, security, and building infrastructure.
- Develop MDF, IDF, MMR, network room, meet-me-room, and data hall connectivity designs.
- Create fiber backbone, horizontal cabling, interconnect, cross-connect, and equipment connectivity architectures.
- Develop single-line diagrams, cabling schematics, rack elevations, patching diagrams, pathway layouts, fiber routing plans, and connectivity schedules.
- Determine fiber counts, cable types, connector types, patch-panel requirements, termination methods, and pathway capacity.
- Design solutions using single-mode and multimode fiber, including high-density fiber connectivity and MPO/MTP-based systems where applicable.
- Specify Category 6/6A copper infrastructure and associated patching systems.
- Perform cable pathway, tray, conduit, ladder rack, and containment capacity calculations.
- Coordinate structured cabling requirements with network architecture, electrical, mechanical, architectural, security, and construction disciplines.
- Review construction drawings, BIM/CAD models, specifications, submittals, RFIs, and vendor proposals.
- Develop Bills of Materials (BOMs) and support material forecasting and procurement.
- Create and maintain cabling standards, design guidelines, naming conventions, labeling requirements, and installation specifications.
- Ensure designs comply with applicable TIA, BICSI, IEEE, NEC/NFPA, ISO/IEC, and manufacturer standards.
- Support data center capacity planning and determine future fiber, copper, rack, and pathway requirements.
- Review contractor installation packages and ensure field implementation aligns with approved designs.
- Support fiber testing, copper certification, commissioning, punch-list resolution, and project closeout.
- Review OTDR, insertion-loss, and certification test results where applicable.
- Participate remotely in design reviews, construction coordination meetings, and technical troubleshooting.
- Conduct occasional site surveys and field inspections when required.
- Identify design risks, constructability issues, capacity constraints, and opportunities for standardization.
- Maintain accurate as-built documentation, cable schedules, port assignments, rack elevations, and connectivity records.
- Work across multiple concurrent data center projects while maintaining design quality and schedule commitments.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience designing structured cabling, telecommunications, network physical infrastructure, or data center infrastructure.
- Strong experience with mission-critical or data center environments.
