Lead Data Center Delivery Engineer

• Own MEP integration on site: mechanical and cooling systems, electrical distribution and power, and plumbing / fluid systems.
• Review and validate mechanical and electrical designs against real site conditions and adjust in the field when conditions differ from the plan.
• Stand up the basic networking and controls needed to bring monitoring, telemetry, and management systems online at deployment sites.

• Drive systems through commissioning, functional testing, and stable operation before handover.
• Troubleshoot faults hands-on during installation and commissioning and drive issues to resolution rather than escalating them away.
• Enforce safe work practices and compliance with site safety and data center standards throughout execution.

What you'll bring

• A degree in engineering (mechanical, electrical, or related) or equivalent hands-on field experience.
• Direct, hands-on experience deploying and commissioning data centers, on the product itself, not solely in an oversight or program-management capacity.
• Strong working knowledge of MEP systems and practical experience integrating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing on live sites.
• Hands-on competence in electrical systems: power distribution, and safe work practices in a data center environment.
• Hands-on competence in mechanical systems: cooling loops, pumps, heat exchangers, and fluid handling.
• Hands-on knowledge of Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, CREO or SolidWorks, and specialized structural or piping software. Proficiency in thermal-fluid systems design, mechanical packaging, and system-level integration.
• Strong knowledge of Cooling and Server systems Deep knowledge of closed-loop fluid dynamics, structural piping design, materials compatibility.
• Working understanding of networking sufficient to stand up monitoring, controls, and management connectivity at a site.
• Experience leading technical teams and, ideally, coordinating work across multiple sites or geographies (a distributed development and field team).
• Willingness to work on-site in the Houston area, coordinate with a team in India across time zones, and travel to deployment locations as needed.

• Direct experience with modular, prefabricated, or containerized data center deployments.
• Experience managing distributed or offshore engineering teams and translating development work into field execution.
• Data center commissioning credentials or MEP / electrical / mechanical certifications.
• Experience deploying high-density, AI, or HPC infrastructure.
• Familiarity with data center standards and site safety requirements (e.g., Uptime Institute, NFPA, OSHA).
• A strong bias for action, resourcefulness on site, and a drive to leave each deployment better documented than the last.

What we offer

• Attractive compensation package reflecting your expertise and hands-on experience.
• The opportunity to build the infrastructure behind sustainable, high-performance computing.
• A dynamic, diverse, and mission-driven environment inside a fast-growing scale-up.
