You will work with lead senior engineers that own the integrated MEP architecture for large-scale (100-300 MW) facilities and modular data center (MDC) deployments that scale into 50-300 MW HPC/AI sites. You will ensure seamless coordination across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to support next-generation GPU clusters, with a strong emphasis on NVIDIA Grace Blackwell (GB300) and Vera Rubin (VR200) reference architectures. This is a hands-on technical position ideal for an engineer who can own end-to-end MEP design for mission-critical, high-density environments. What you'll do * Articulate the holistic MEP design, specification, and optimization for hyperscale and modular HPC/AI data centers, ensuring integrated performance, reliability, efficiency, and scalability. * Design electrical systems including MV/LV distribution, switchboards, overhead busways, circuit breakers, transformers (ML/VL), PDUs, grounding, protection, BESS, UPS, and generators. * Oversee mechanical systems focused on high-density liquid cooling (direct-to-chip, immersion, CDUs, in-row/in-rack solutions), CRAC/CRAH, heat rejection, airflow management, and redundancy for 100+ kW racks. * Manage plumbing and fluid systems, including coolant distribution, primary/secondary cooling loops, leak detection, piping, pumps, filtration, and integration with facility water systems or closed-loop designs. * Architect modular data center solutions (1-2 MW containers/pods) that efficiently aggregate into larger 50-300 MWHPC/AI sites, emphasizing standardization, rapid deployment, and future-proofing. * Deliver MEP designs tailored to NVIDIA GB300 (Grace Blackwell) and VR200 (Vera Rubin) Superpod/reference architectures, addressing rack power (~120 kW+), liquid cooling manifolds, power smoothing, high-current delivery, and thermal management requirements. * Perform system-level studies (power, thermal, hydraulic, CFD) and ensure compliance with NEC, NFPA, ASHRAE, IEEE, Uptime Institute, and local codes. * Collaborate with architecture, structural, IT, and construction teams throughout design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and handover phases. * Optimize for energy efficiency, sustainability, capacity planning, fault tolerance, and total cost of ownership in AI factory environments. * Develop standards, create and review drawings/specifications, troubleshoot issues, and mentor junior MEP engineers. * Create MEP specifications and explain/discuss with technical and non-technical customers. ## Related Videos - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [AI Factories at Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1139-ai-factories-at-scale) - [DevOps at Netflix](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/270-devops-at-netflix) - [WebAssembly Revolution: Elevating JavaScript's Reach and Performance](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1149-webassembly-revolution-elevating-javascript-s-reach-and-performance) - [How to build a sovereign European AI compute infrastructure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1102-how-to-build-a-sovereign-european-ai-compute-infrastructure) - [Leading with Reliability: Applying SRE Principles to Build Stronger Engineering Organizations](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100185-leading-with-reliability-applying-sre-principles-to-build-stronger-engineering-organizations) ## Related Articles - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [6 Emerging Technologies We’ll Learn About in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/381-6-emerging-technologies-we-ll-learn-about-in-2025) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [What Makes WeAreDevelopers World Congress Different From Every Other Tech Event?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/701-what-makes-wearedevelopers-world-congress-different-from-every-other-tech-event)
