The successful candidate will demonstrate the following:

• Lead or support projects for both new data center construction and upgrades to existing facilities, ensuring timely and efficient execution.
• Collaborate with engineering, operations, and IT teams to define project scope, objectives, and technical requirements.
• Provide operational and system expertise during design reviews, equipment selection, and commissioning.
• Track project progress, identify risks, and implement solutions to keep schedules and performance targets on track.
• Ensure all projects comply with safety standards, quality requirements, and environmental regulations.
• Recommend improvements and lessons learned from completed projects to optimize future operations and designs.

• Regularly inspect and maintain critical systems, including HVAC, UPS, generators, electrical distribution, piping, and water treatment.
• Monitor facility systems and respond promptly to abnormal conditions to maintain uptime and reliability.
• Identify and resolve system issues, ensuring continuous and safe operation of data center infrastructure.
• Support the startup, commissioning, and integration of new equipment, tracking system performance trends and implementing improvements.

• Conduct thermal simulations and flow optimization analyses to define optimal cooling architectures during early-stage development.
• Lead the implementation and optimization of immersion and direct liquid cooling (DLC) tank/rack infrastructure to achieve a PUE target below 1.1.
• Oversee the maintenance and diagnostic troubleshooting of cooling systems to ensure reliable and high-performance operation.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce operational costs and enhance overall energy efficiency.

• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
• At least three (3) years of experience in operating and maintaining mission‑critical facilities, including electrical, mechanical, and HVAC systems.
• Skilled in using monitoring and log analysis tools to quickly identify and resolve operational issues.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast‑paced environment.
• Flexible to work non‑standard hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays, as required.

• Licensed Electrical Technician.
• Familiarity with immersion cooling and thermal system simulations, including DLC system optimization for ongoing operations and development.
• Strong Python programming skills with experience in API development and automation scripting to streamline operations.
• Hands‑on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Solid understanding of Dev Ops practices and deploying containerized applications in production environments.
