Mechanical Engineer - AI Data Center Operations

• Act as the technical leader for mechanical and thermal infrastructure across a portfolio of large-scale AI computing facilities.
• Evaluate site operational readiness, conduct technical reviews, and identify opportunities to improve operational performance prior to go-live.
• Partner closely with engineering, design, and manufacturing teams to ensure operational considerations are incorporated into future infrastructure deployments.
• Provide deep subject matter expertise across mission-critical cooling systems, including liquid cooling technologies and chilled water infrastructure.
• Lead operational handoff activities for new facilities and ensure mechanical systems are prepared for production workloads.
• Develop and approve critical maintenance and emergency operating procedures while leading investigations into major mechanical or cooling-related incidents.

Ideal Background

We're interested in experienced infrastructure leaders who bring deep expertise in mission-critical mechanical systems and thrive in highly technical, fast-moving environments.

• Extensive experience supporting thermal and cooling infrastructure for critical facilities.
• Expertise with chilled water plants, cooling towers, pumps, CRAH/CRAC systems, coolant distribution units (CDUs), and liquid cooling technologies.
• A track record of developing operational procedures and leading incident response efforts for complex mechanical systems.
• Experience assessing facility readiness and driving improvements across operations teams.
• The ability to mentor and prepare technical teams for new site launches and operational scaling initiatives.

Preferred experience includes:

• Hyperscale or large colocation data center environments.
• High-density compute or liquid-cooled infrastructure.
• Chilled water optimization and large mechanical plant operations.
• Familiarity with industry standards and best practices for mission-critical facilities.

• Highly competitive compensation package that includes base salary and long-term incentives.
• Equity participation opportunities.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Retirement benefits consistent with local market practices.
• Flexible paid time off and other employee benefits aligned with regional standards.

We're partnering with one of the fastest-growing AI infrastructure companies building next-generation compute platforms. This is an opportunity to join a team operating at the forefront of AI and help define what world-class data center operations look like at massive scale. The role sits within a team responsible for operating and scaling some of the world's most advanced AI infrastructure environments. Challenges You'll Help Solve * Building and operating infrastructure at an unprecedented scale. The roadmap extends far beyond traditional data center footprints, requiring systems and processes designed for multi-gigawatt deployments. * Maintaining operational excellence while sites are simultaneously being commissioned, expanded, and brought online. You'll help develop the operational framework that enables rapid growth without compromising reliability. * Creating the operating model from the ground up. Rather than inheriting mature processes, you'll help define how mechanical operations are managed as the organization scales globally.
