Job description
This role is a high-impact Mechanical Engineering position focused on designing and delivering next-generation, AI-optimized data center infrastructure at gigawatt scale.
You will own mechanical systems end-to-end-from early-stage concept design and analytical modeling through construction and deployment-supporting high-density compute environments. The work centers on developing scalable, modular mechanical templates and cooling solutions that enable rapid global rollout of data center capacity.
This is a technically deep and execution-heavy role, requiring strong ownership across design, analysis, and external partner coordination in highly complex, fast-moving infrastructure programs., * Lead design and development of mechanical systems for AI-optimized, high-density data centers
- Develop modular mechanical templates to enable repeatable, scalable global deployment
- Serve as technical liaison between internal engineering teams and external consultants
- Ensure mechanical systems integrate with high-density cooling and power architectures
- Own systems from conceptual design and modeling through construction and commissioning
- Perform CFD modeling and capacity analysis to inform design decisions
- Manage external partners and ensure delivery of high-quality mechanical designs
- Continuously improve mechanical standards and deployment methodologies across projects
Requirements
- 5-8 years of experience in mechanical engineering for large-scale industrial or mission-critical facilities (data centers strongly preferred)
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
- Strong experience with high-density cooling systems, including liquid-to-chip and immersion cooling
- Proficiency in Revit / BIM for design development and template creation
- Experience with CFD modeling and thermal/capacity planning
- Strong ability to manage external engineering partners and drive technical accountability
- Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous, high-ownership environments
