This internship sounds heavily focused on the physical infrastructure side of data centres — essentially the systems that keep servers powered, cooled, and operational 24/7. It aligns strongly with electrical, mechanical, and energy systems engineering.
Here’s what each part likely means:
Critical power systems
High-reliability electrical systems that ensure data centres never lose power.
Includes:
UPS systems
PDUs
Backup generators
Switchgear
Transformers
Protection coordination
Power distribution and redundancy (N+1, 2N architectures)
