ICT Infrastructure Design Engineer I (Low Voltage)

• 2+ years of experience in ICT/structured cabling design, or network infrastructure design. • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field. • RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) certification preferred — this is not a software/IT networking position. • Knowledge of network architecture and infrastructure design principles. • Experience with or exposure to data center environments. • Proficiency in Revit/AutoCAD, BICSI, TIA/EIA, construction drawings, rack elevations. • Proficiency Microsoft Office products, especially excel. • Working knowledge of structured cabling systems (fiber and copper), telecommunications spaces and pathways, and BICSI, TIA/EIA standards (including TIA-568). • Ability to work in a team environment with Project Managers, Engineers, and Designers. • Ability to produce clear, accurate, and coordinated design documentation. • Strong organizational and collaboration skills. • Communication skills both written and verbal are required. • Experience working on data center projects including hyperscale, colocation, or enterprise-scale facilities. • Familiarity with TIA-942 and BICSI TDMM, Uptime Institute Tier Standards or ANSI/BICSI 002 data center design guidelines. • Experience with BIM coordination workflows. • Exposure to active network equipment (switching, routing), DAS or in-building wireless systems, and/or DCIM platforms.

Meade is a full-service design firm specializing in innovative and cost-effective engineering solutions for data centers, cloud providers, and large-scale construction projects. Our team of expert engineers, designers, and consultants is dedicated to delivering high-quality, reliable, and sustainable solutions that drive the industry forward. At Meade, we foster a collaborative and dynamic work environment where creativity, technical excellence, and professional growth are at the forefront. We take pride in our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and superior service-values that not only define our projects but also shape our workplace culture. If you're looking to be part of a company that values expertise, teamwork, and cutting-edge design, we'd love to hear from you! ***This is a physical infrastructure design role — not software or IT networking. You'll design the cabling, pathways, and telecom rooms that data centers and mission-critical buildings run on: fiber/copper backbone routing, rack elevations, conduit systems, and construction drawings in Revit. Think structured cabling and building infrastructure design, not network administration or coding.*** Job Description: Meade is seeking an RCDD-certified ICT Infrastructure Design EngineerI (Low Voltage)to join our Engineering team. This is a specialized role focused on the design of network infrastructure and structured cabling systems for mission critical and data center projects. This position will play a key role in delivering high-quality designs for complex projects while continuing to build technical expertise in a niche, high-demand discipline. The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in network architecture and structured cabling systems. Job Duties: Network Design & Architecture • Design ICT and network infrastructure systems, including structured cabling (fiber and copper) and telecommunications pathways. • Develop LAN/WAN topology diagrams, logical network layouts, and physical infrastructure design, cable routing, and pathway layouts. • Produce detailed deliverables including: • Construction drawings • Cable routing and pathway layouts • Equipment schedules and specifications • Telecommunications room layouts and rack elevations • Design passive infrastructure including fiber backbone systems, copper cabling, and cross-connect/ODF configurations. • Design Service Entrance Facility (SEF) infrastructure, including fiber vault placement, underground conduit stub-outs, and coordination of carrier incoming fiber pathways. • Develop outside plant (OSP) designs including underground conduit systems, pull boxes, handholes, and site conduit routing in coordination with civil and electrical disciplines. • Apply industry standards (BICSI, TIA/EIA, ANSI) to ensure compliant and scalable designs. Adjacent Systems Integration • Support the design and coordination of low-voltage systems, including: • Audiovisual (AV) systems • Security (CCTV, access control) • Wireless infrastructure • Ensure these systems are effectively integrated into overall network and ICT infrastructure design. Data Center Design • Contribute to the design of data center infrastructure systems for enterprise, colocation, and mission-critical facilities. • Develop data hall layouts, rack plans, and cable management strategies. • Support design of MDA, HDA, and EDA environments, including backbone and horizontal distribution systems. • Incorporate considerations such as hot/cold aisle containment and scalability. • Assist in preparing construction documentation for fit-outs, upgrades, and new builds. • Coordinate ICT systems with electrical, mechanical, and other engineering disciplines. Documentation & Software • Prepare all design drawings and deliverables using the Autodesk software suite, including Revit (MEP). • Develop BIM-coordinated ICT models for design coordination and clash detection workflows. • Produce specifications, design reports, bills of materials, and commissioning documentation. • Maintain accurate version control, project registers, and quality records throughout the project lifecycle. Project Participation • Contribute to design review meetings, site visits, and client workshops under the direction of the project engineer. • Collaborate with engineers, designers, and project stakeholders to resolve design challenges. • Coordinate with contractors, vendors, and subcontractors during construction and commissioning phases. • Assist in responding to RFIs and reviewing shop drawings and contractor submittals. • Execute assigned design tasks independently within defined scope. Minimum Qualifications: • 2+ years of experience in ICT/structured cabling design, or network infrastructure design. • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field. • RCDD (Registered Communications Distribution Designer) certification preferred — this is not a software/IT networking position. • Knowledge of network architecture and infrastructure design principles. • Experience with or exposure to data center environments. • Proficiency in Revit/AutoCAD, BICSI, TIA/EIA, construction drawings, rack elevations. • Proficiency Microsoft Office products, especially excel. • Working knowledge of structured cabling systems (fiber and copper), telecommunications spaces and pathways, and BICSI, TIA/EIA standards (including TIA-568). • Ability to work in a team environment with Project Managers, Engineers, and Designers. • Ability to produce clear, accurate, and coordinated design documentation. • Strong organizational and collaboration skills. • Communication skills both written and verbal are required.
