Location: Remote Employee US, NH, US

Building modular data centers and supporting power systems requires solving extraordinary structural, thermal, and logistics puzzles. We are seeking a highly skilled, hands‑on Senior Mechanical Engineer & Team Lead to define the physical architecture of our heavy‑duty product lineup and guide its mechanical execution from concept to field commissioning.

In this dual‑impact role, you will act as both a principal designer and a technical leader. You will own the structural integrity, transportability, and environmental containment designs for our industrial‑scale E‑houses and heavy structural steel skids. Simultaneously, you will lead, task, and mentor a team of mechanical engineers and CAD designers, ensuring that every weldment, enclosure assembly, and rigging scheme is engineered to the highest standards of safety, quality, and manufacturability.

• Technical Mentorship & Direction: Lead, task, and manage the mechanical engineering design team. Establish modeling standards, define drafting templates, and execute rigorous design reviews.
• DFM & DFMA Ownership: Drive Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) best practices across the engineering lifecycle, collaborating closely with fabrication shops and assembly line leads.
• Cross‑Functional
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Partner directly with Electrical, Systems, and Certification engineering teams to ensure physical enclosure layouts support electrical clearances, cable routing, and regulatory compliance.
• Heavy Structural Design: Architect robust, low‑deflection structural steel base frames (skids) capable of supporting ultra‑heavy power equipment (transformers, switch gear, liquid‑cooled battery racks).
• Rigging & Transport Logistics: Design integrated lifting lugs, spreader‑bar interfaces, and tie‑down schemes. Analyze dynamic over‑the‑road transit forces to ensure safe logistics.
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Perform and supervise comprehensive linear and non‑linear structural FEA on structural frames, lifting setups, and cabinet paneling to validate stress, deflection, and fatigue limits.

• Environmental Containment: Design and detail E‑houses, walk‑in modular enclosures, and outdoor containment cabinets. Establish robust ingress protection strategies (e.g., NEMA 3R, IP55, IP66).
• Thermal Management Integration: Collaborate with HVAC and thermal engineers to integrate complex air‑conditioning, liquid cooling, and active ventilation systems. Ensure optimized airflow pathways, ducting configurations, and condensation mitigation.
• Seismic & Wind‑Load Compliance: Ensure all structural weldments, panel interfaces, and equipment anchorages comply with site‑specific seismic and wind‑load requirements under the International Building Code (IBC) and ASCE 7.
• Prototyping & Testing: Define physical testing procedures for prototype validation, including rain‑ingress testing, structural deflection tests under maximum load, and seismic vibration simulation.

• Structural Welding & Codes: Strong expertise in AISC, AWS D1.1, and sheet metal fabrication techniques.
• Physical Modeling: Expert command of structural physics, beam theory, shear‑moment diagrams, and thermal expansion dynamics.
• Software Tooling:
  • 3D CAD: Expert proficiency in Solid Works, Autodesk Inventor, or PTC Creo.
  • FEA: Hands‑on experience with ANSYS, Solid Works Simulation, or Autodesk Nastran.
  • PLM/PDM: Strong familiarity with product lifecycle management tools to manage BOMs and drawing releases.

• Duties of this position are performed in a normal office environment.
• Duties may require extended periods of sitting and sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor or on numbers and other detailed data.
• Repetitive manual movements (e.g., data entry, using a computer mouse, using a calculator, etc.) are frequently required.
• Occasional travel may be required.
