You will:

• Lead the power, cooling and environmental control area for the lab
• Ensure capacity, availability and reliability of infrastructure that supports R&D and NSI users
• Maintain laboratory safety, compliance and physical security

This is a technical, hands‑on role with strong operational ownership and direct impact on R&D productivity.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the lab facility infrastructure domain for Yokohama Lab (power, cooling, environmental control, physical security)
• Plan, implement and operate power and cooling infrastructure to support current and future lab loads
• Monitor infrastructure health, availability and performance; respond to incidents and coordinate corrective actions
• Perform capacity planning and lifecycle management for lab infrastructure, including expansion and upgrades
• Assess and manage risks related to power, cooling and physical security; contribute to change and risk management processes
• Work closely with lab operations, ICT and R&D teams to ensure test environments are supported by robust infrastructure
• Coordinate with vendors and suppliers for infrastructure equipment, services and maintenance
• Suggest and drive infrastructure improvement initiatives to enhance reliability, efficiency and scalability

Essential Skills and Experience (Must Have)

• Experience in power infrastructure management in data centers, IT rooms or lab environments
• Knowledge of cooling and environmental control systems
• Experience in capacity planning and infrastructure lifecycle management
• Understanding of laboratory safety, compliance and physical security principles
• Experience in risk and change management related to infrastructure operations
• Hands‑on experience with ICT or lab infrastructure operations and incident response

• Test environment tools and frameworks used by R&D engineers
• Vendor‑specific technologies and management tools for infrastructure equipment

Personal Attributes and Natural Strengths

The ICT Infra and Test Environment Engineer will naturally enjoy:

• Leading the lab facility infrastructure area and taking ownership of power, cooling and physical security
• Solving complex technical challenges related to infrastructure design, capacity and reliability
• Preventing operational risks and incidents through proactive analysis and improvements
• Improving infrastructure reliability and efficiency so engineers can focus on development and testing
• Working in a dynamic R&D lab environment where infrastructure decisions have visible impact on outcomes

If you enjoy preventing issues before they happen, designing robust technical solutions, and enabling engineers to do their best work, this role offers a direct and visible impact on our R&D success.
