Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Senior Data Center Mechanical Engineer to support the design, standardization, and delivery of large-scale data center facilities. This role plays a critical part in shaping mechanical and cooling strategies across a growing portfolio of mission-critical infrastructure. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise in data center mechanical systems, with a particular focus on high-performance cooling solutions for dense compute environments.

This position will act as a technical authority on mechanical design, partnering closely with internal engineering, operations, and project teams, as well as external consultants and vendors, to deliver scalable, efficient, and future-ready facilities. Travel to active data center sites will be required.

• Serve as the mechanical subject matter expert for data center projects, ensuring designs align with established standards, basis of design, and long-term portfolio objectives.
• Lead and manage the mechanical design process, coordinating with consultants, equipment vendors, and internal stakeholders to meet schedule, quality, and performance expectations.
• Develop, review, and validate mechanical system designs, including drawings, specifications, and shop drawings, with an emphasis on cooling performance and reliability.
• Drive the evaluation and integration of advanced cooling technologies, including chilled-water systems, liquid cooling, high-density airflow strategies, and economizer-based designs.
• Shape long-term cooling strategies to support increasing rack densities, AI and high-performance computing workloads, and evolving operational requirements.
• Support commissioning and site execution by verifying systems meet design intent, operational needs, and performance criteria.
• Collaborate with IT, operations, and construction teams to ensure mechanical systems are fully integrated with facility and compute requirements.
• Contribute to lessons learned, continuous improvement initiatives, and the evolution of mechanical and cooling design standards across the portfolio.
• Apply innovative problem-solving approaches to cooling efficiency, redundancy, and scalability challenges in mission-critical environments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering;
  Professional Engineering license preferred.
• 5–7+ years of experience designing mechanical systems for data centers or other mission-critical facilities.
• Strong expertise in chilled-water systems, air-cooled solutions, liquid cooling technologies, and redundant piping architectures.
• Demonstrated experience addressing cooling challenges for high-density and next-generation compute environments.
• Working knowledge of building automation systems (BAS) and development of sequences of operation.
• Experience with CFD modeling, airflow analysis, and energy modeling is strongly preferred.
• Ability to operate as a technical leader, independently architecting solutions and guiding design decisions.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally in fast-paced project environments.
• Industry certifications related to data centers or HVAC design are a plus.

If you are passionate about designing cutting-edge cooling solutions and want to play a key role in advancing the performance and scalability of modern data center infrastructure, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant technical impact!
