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 & 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, WUE optimization, and sustainability targets
Collaborate with Controls Engineering to ensure 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 on deliverables and performance
Prepare RFPs, analyze award recommendations, manage contracts, review change orders, VE proposals, shop drawings, submittals, RFIs
Participate in factory tests, onsite testing, commissioning, quality checks throughout 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
