Introduction
You will join the IT Department鈥檚 Fabric and Communication Systems (FCS) Group within the Data Centres (DC) Section, where you will contribute to the operation and support of CERN鈥檚 Data Centres and associated computing facilities. The section is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of computing equipment, as well as developing, maintaining, and integrating software applications with existing facility monitoring systems.
During CERN鈥檚 Accelerator Long Shutdown 3 (LS3) and beyond, you will support major data centre expansion and upgrade projects aimed at almost tripling the current hosting capacity, which is required to support future LHC runs and their increasing computing demands. Your role will involve assisting with infrastructure deployment, system integration, and operational readiness to support future computing requirements.
