Sr Mechanical Design Engineer - Liquid Cooling Systems

Location:

Redmond, WA | Fully Onsite

Contract:

Up to 18 months

Our client is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer
- Liquid Cooling Systems to join their team.

Lead the mechanical design of advanced liquid cooling and fluid distribution systems for modular AI data center platforms, owning cooling architecture from heat rejection through rack-level interfaces. Define scalable system boundaries and strategies for pumping, flow control, pressure management, balancing, redundancy, and performance across normal, part-load, maintenance, startup, and failure conditions. Perform and review hydraulic and mechanical calculations, including pipe sizing, pressure-drop analysis, pump-head and system-volume modeling for water- and glycol-based systems.

Own and maintain P&IDs, mechanical schematics, equipment schedules, valve schedules, instrumentation requirements, basis-of-design documents, and standard details with disciplined revision control. Partner with manufacturing, controls, commissioning, supply chain, and field teams to translate requirements into repeatable designs that can be fabricated, deployed, serviced, and scaled across multiple sites.

• 7+ years of experience designing mechanical cooling, hydraulic distribution, process cooling, or mission-critical infrastructure systems.
• Experience in data centers, semiconductor facilities, industrial process cooling, central utility plants, or comparable high-reliability environments.
• Strong technical knowledge of pipe sizing, pump selection, pressure-drop analysis, flow balancing, system volume, and hydraulic control.
• Proven experience developing and owning P&IDs, mechanical calculations, equipment schedules, valve schedules, and instrumentation requirements.
• Practical knowledge of chilled-water, condenser-water, glycol, or process-fluid systems, including design for commissioning, maintenance, isolation, flushing, venting, draining, and service access.

Work on high-impact liquid cooling infrastructure that supports demanding, high-reliability environments for AI and other critical workloads. Build repeatable, standards-driven mechanical designs that shape product architecture and enable scalable deployment across multiple configurations. Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, controls, commissioning, and field teams to solve complex system challenges with meaningful autonomy. Translate system requirements into designs that are manufacturable, testable, and serviceable—bridging engineering intent to real-world execution.

Contribute to technical standards, interfaces, and commissioning practices that improve performance verification and reduce risk during startup and troubleshooting.
