Full Job Description
Key Responsibilities

The Data Center Infrastructure Mechanical Engineer is responsible for designing, modeling, and validating mechanical systems that support modern data-center deployments. This role requires deep proficiency in CAD modeling, strong understanding of new data-center construction, and hands-on experience with skidded and containerized mechanical power products. The engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams to develop scalable, manufacturable, and reliable mechanical solutions that support high-density compute environments.

Mechanical Design & CAD Engineering
  • Develop detailed 2D and 3D CAD models for mechanical systems, assemblies, and infrastructure components used in data-center environments
  • Create fabrication drawings, mechanical layouts, piping diagrams, and installation documentation for skidded and containerized systems
  • Maintain design libraries, standards, and revision control for mechanical assets
  • Perform tolerance analysis, fit-checks, and manufacturability reviews for complex assemblies

Data Center Construction & Infrastructure Engineering
  • Support mechanical design for new data-center builds, including cooling infrastructure, hydronic systems, equipment placement, and mechanical room layouts
  • Collaborate with construction teams, contractors, and vendors to ensure designs meet site requirements, building codes, and operational standards
  • Evaluate site conditions, climate considerations, and load requirements to ensure mechanical systems perform reliably and efficiently

Skidded & Containerized Product Development
  • Design and integrate mechanical systems for skidded cooling units, modular mechanical skids, and containerized data-center products
  • Develop specifications for pumps, heat exchangers, filtration systems, manifolds, and structural components
  • Ensure modular systems meet transport, installation, and commissioning requirements
  • Work with manufacturing partners to validate assembly processes and quality standards

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with electrical, controls, structural, and product engineering teams to ensure cohesive system integration
  • Participate in design reviews, prototype evaluations, and field validation activities
  • Provide mechanical expertise to support product roadmaps, new feature development, and continuous improvement initiatives

Testing, Validation & Continuous Improvement
  • Conduct mechanical testing, flow analysis, and performance validation for cooling systems and modular products
  • Identify opportunities to improve reliability, manufacturability, and efficiency across mechanical designs
  • Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions for mechanical issues in production or field deployments


Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in data-center mechanical engineering, industrial mechanical systems, or mission-critical infrastructure
  • Advanced proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor).
  • Experience with skidded mechanical systems, modular infrastructure, or containerized data-center products
  • Strong understanding of data-center construction practices, mechanical codes, and industry standards
  • Knowledge of cooling systems, hydronic distribution, pumps, heat exchangers, and mechanical integration


Pay Range

USD $110,000.00 - USD $150,000.00 /Yr.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with liquid-cooling systems (dry coolers, evaporative coolers, cooling towers, skids)
  • Familiarity with CFD or thermal modeling tools.
  • Experience working with fabrication shops, OEMs, or modular-construction vendors
  • Ability to interpret structural drawings, electrical layouts, and controls schematics
