Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

We are seeking a technically skilled and motivated professional to support the design, deployment, troubleshooting, and operation of liquid cooling infrastructure within a data center environment. This role requires strong mechanical aptitude, a solid understanding of fluid and thermal systems, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, mission-critical environments. The ideal candidate is hands-on, detail-oriented, inquisitive, and comfortable working across engineering and facilities teams.

THE PERSON:

Highly motivated self starter comfortable working in a fast paced, ever changing environment.

JOB SUMMARY:

We are seeking a technically skilled and motivated professional to support the design, deployment, troubleshooting, and operation of liquid cooling infrastructure within a data center environment. This role requires strong mechanical aptitude, a solid understanding of fluid and thermal systems, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, mission-critical environments. The ideal candidate is hands-on, detail-oriented, inquisitive, and comfortable working across engineering and facilities teams.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Troubleshoot, maintain, and support Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) and/or chillers, including rapid response to leaks, spills, and system anomalies.
  • Work hands-on with liquid piping and plumbing systems, including fittings, hoses, and components operating under constant pressure and flow.
  • Apply fundamental mechanical and engineering principles such as torque, flexing, stress, and general physics to real-world systems.
  • Understand and apply thermodynamic principles, including heat transfer, fluid flow, and the relationship between pressure, flow rate, and hose dimensions.
  • Utilize thermocouples appropriately (application and interpretation; not assembly).
  • Develop and manage Bills of Materials (BOMs) for custom or semi-custom solutions, including sourcing non-off-the-shelf components and researching parts from vendors.
  • Use hand tools safely and effectively while maintaining high standards of workmanship.
  • High level of attention to detail and commitment to safe operational practices.
  • Perform root cause analysis on complex issues and drive corrective and preventative actions to avoid repeat failures.
  • Manage and multitask across large-scale projects with overlapping or competing timelines.
  • Interface professionally with external vendors, site facilities staff, and internal customers, ensuring clear communication and alignment.
  • Present technical information clearly to small group audiences, both formally and informally.


REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Strong mechanical aptitude with a practical understanding of engineering and physics concepts.
  • Working knowledge of liquid cooling systems, fluid handling, or similar mechanical infrastructure.
  • Ability to understand flow, pressure, and system behavior in liquid-based systems.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where priorities may shift quickly.
  • Ability and desire to learn, adapt, and grow in a technically complex environment.
  • Proficiency reading block diagrams, schematics, and wiring diagrams; familiarity with building or facility schematics is a plus.
  • Frequently required to lift equipment in weight up to 50lbs


PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Experience working in a data center environment; experience in a Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) data center is strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with server rack terminology and components, such as switches, compute trays, and form factors (e.g., 2OU).
  • Background in thermal, mechanical, facilities, or infrastructure engineering roles.


PHYSICAL AND WORK ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS:
  • Comfortable performing hands-on tasks requiring manual dexterity and physical awareness.
  • Require on-site presence in data center environments for extended periods.
  • Operate confidently in loud, constrained spaces, such as within data center aisles and server racks.
