Mechanical Engineer, Data Center Design Engineering

Responsibilities

• Lead and/or assist on new data center product designs, integrating technological advancements while balancing cost, efficiency, time-to-delivery, and sustainability
• Own data center product mechanical systems strategies and infrastructure designs — including liquid cooling, chiller plant design, and heat rejection systems — from concept through construction administration
• Drive the design and development of airside and hydronic systems including CDU, Valve Train, Fan Coils, Central Chiller Plants, Drycoolers, and Cooling Towers
• Develop design documentation and drive design execution across all design and delivery phases (SD, DD, CD, CA) for self-builds (greenfield), lease facilities and retrofit projects
• Work closely with CSLA, Electrical, Connectivity and Controls Engineering teams to achieve holistic product designs optimized for cost, construction speed, operational efficiency, and long-term flexibility
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on prefabricated (DFSMA) solutions and modular component offerings (Building Block strategy) to be embedded into new design products
• Partner with Energy & Water Modeling teams to evaluate environmental impacts, water use efficiency (WUE) optimization, and sustainability targets
• Collaborate with Controls Engineering to ensure that integrated mechanical control strategies and system-level optimization
• Collaborate with hardware engineering to align rack-level thermal and mechanical requirements (power density, coolant flow/pressure, temperature limits) with facility mechanical system design
• Manage and hold EoR teams accountable for deliverables and performance
• Prepare RFPs, analyze award recommendations, manage contracts, review change orders, VE proposals, shop drawings, submittals, RFIs
• Participate in factory tests, on-site testing, commissioning, quality checks throughout the project lifecycle
• Balance short-term delivery priorities while tracking industry standards and emerging trends to drive long-term strategy with the Engineering Tech Strategy team
• Perform research and develop analysis on new technologies, alternate materials, and liquid enablement solutions — building models of cost and environmental impact
